Although System Dynamics modelling is sometimes referred to as data-poor modelling, it often is –or could be– applied in a data-rich manner. However, more can be done in the era of ‘big data'. Big data refers here to situations with much more available data than was until recently...

Making R4 model effective and efficient I have introduced some new features, i.e., renovation of knowledgebase (KBS) and reducing the maintenance cost by removing the duplicate record from the KBS. Renovation of knowledgebase is the process of removing duplicate record stored in knowledgebase...

This study was performed to extract rules and factors for reducing body fat mass and to compare Inductive Logic Programming (ILP) and common classifiers to provide necessary steps for the healthcare system. Many researchers have focused on lifestyle-related diseases; however, few have attempted...

Now a day's application deal with Big Data has tremendously been used in the popular areas. To tackle with such kind of data various approaches have been developed by researchers in the last few decades. A recent investigated techniques to factored the data matrix through a known latent factor...

Cognitive radio networks (CRNs) can provide a means for offering end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) required by unlicensed users (secondary users. SUs). The authors consider the approach where licensed users (primary users, PUs) play the role of routers and lease spectrum with QoS guarantees...

The exploitation of large data bases frequently implies the investment of large and, usually, expensive resources both in terms of the storage and processing time required. It is possible to obtain equivalent reduced data sets where the statistical information of the original data may be...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to catalogue the various ways in which algorithm-driven decision-making now permeates myriad fields of human activities from insurance through criminal justice to hiring and employment and suggest that this diffusion represents a qualitatively new level of...

Purpose – Reliability and political bias of mass media has been a controversial topic in the literature. The purpose of this paper is to propose and implement a methodology for fully automatic evaluation of the political tendency of the written media on the web, which does not rely on...
