Feature selection plays a very important role to retrieve the relevant features from datasets and computationally improves the performance of a model. The objective of this study is to evaluate the most important features of a chronic kidney disease (CKD) dataset and diagnose the CKD problem. In...

Partition-based feature extraction is widely used in the pattern recognition and computer vision. This method is robust to some changes like occlusion, background, etc. In this article, a partition-based technique is used for feature extraction and extension of HMM is used as a classifier. The...

The internet has become essential and is the basis of cloud computing and will continue to be in the future. Best resource allocation is a process of placing the resources at their minimum cost/time and minimizes the load to a virtual machine. In this article, the authors propose an algorithm to...

The traveling thief problem (TTP) is a benchmark problem that consists of two well-known problems, the traveling salesman problem (TSP) and the knapsack problem (KP). It was defined to imitate complex real-world applications that comprise different interdependent sub-problems. Various approaches...

Temperature study and model development related to estimation is an essential and important task not only for a human life but also for animal life, agriculture, tourism, water reservation and evaporation, and many other fields. Regression is considered a dominant prediction model which is...

This article derives a mathematical model and compares different soft-computing techniques for control of a highly dynamic ball and beam system. The techniques which were incorporated for control of proposed system were fuzzy logic, proportional-integral-derivative (PID), adaptive neuro fuzzy...

Multicast routing is the problem of finding the spanning tree of a set of destinations whose roots are the source node and its leaves are the set of destination nodes by optimizing a set of quality of service parameters and satisfying a set of transmission constraints. This article proposes a...

This article presents a fuzzy logic based offline control strategy for the stabilisation of a single-wheeled inverted pendulum robot (SWIPR). A SWIPR comprises of robot chassis mounted on a single wheel. A Matlab-Simulink model of the system has been built from mathematical equations derived...

Retinal image analysis plays an important part in identifying various eye related diseases such as diabetic retinopathy (DR), glaucoma and many others. Accurate segmentation of blood vessels plays an important part in identifying the retinal diseases at an early stage. In this article, an...

Cloud computing is gaining more popularity due to its advantages over conventional computing. It offers utility based services to subscribers on demand basis. Cloud hosts a variety of web applications and provides services on the pay-per-use basis. As the users are increasing in the cloud...
