Estimating the optimal number of clusters for a dataset is one of the most essential issues in cluster analysis. An improper pre-selection for the number of clusters might easily ...
We introduce a new approach to GA (Genetic Algorithms) based problem solving. Earlier GAs did not contain local search (i.e. hill climbing) mechanisms, which led to optimization d...

During engineering design, it is often difficult to quantify product reliability because of insufficient data or information for modeling the uncertainties. In such cases, one need...
— A Cascaded model is introduced for mining large datasets using Genetic Programming without recourse to specialist hardware. Such an algorithm satisfies the seeming conflictin...
