The Statistics Concept Inventory: Development and analysis of a cognitive assessment instrument in statistics.
(2006)
The Statistics Concept Inventory (SCI) is a multiple choice test designed to assess students' conceptual understanding of topics typically encountered in an introductory statistics course. This dissertation documents the ...
Least square multi-class kernel machines with prior knowledge and applications.
(2006)
In this study, the problem of discriminating between objects of two or more classes with (or without) prior knowledge is investigated. We present how a two-class discrimination model with or without prior knowledge can be ...
Uncertainty and sensitivity analysis in support vector machines: Robust optimization and uncertain programming approaches.
(2006)
Noisy or uncertain data are common in machine learning and data mining applications. Noisy data can significantly affect the behavior of data mining and machine learning algorithms. Robust optimization and sensitivity ...
Incremental kernel learning algorithms and applications.
(2006)
Since the Support Vector Machines (SVMs) were introduced in 1995, SVMs have been recognized as essential tools for pattern classification and function approximation. Numerous publications show that SVMs outperform other ...
Multi-criteria simulation optimization with stochastic coefficients: Methods, performance measures, and test bed problems.
(2006)
Three methods were developed to solve multi-criteria simulation optimization problems by adapting and extending genetic algorithms (GA), tabu search (TS), and lexicographic Nelder-Mead (LNM) methods. These modifications ...
