To overcome the structural limitations arising from subjectively preset adjustable parameters in the NGBM(1,1) model family and significantly enhance its predictive capability for complex nonlinear systems, this study develops a novel self-adaptive nonlinear discrete grey model...

Given a public transportation network, which and how many passenger routes can potentially be shortest paths, when all possible timetables are taken into account? This question leads to shortest path problems on graphs with interval costs on their arcs and is closely linked to multi-objective...

In addressing the challenge of large-scale packing of strongly heterogeneous cargo in logistics loading, this paper proposes a three-dimensional container loading algorithm that integrates a block-building heuristic, an optimized placement strategy, and an enhanced genetic algorithm. The...

The advent of artificial intelligence paradigms has contributed a great deal towards improving predictive accuracy in medicine especially in the prompt diagnosis of chronic diseases. Feature selection is crucial in refining classification models by identifying and eliminating non-informative or...

The cellular manufacturing system is an approach based on the nature of group technology that can reduce overhead costs. These systems are designed to organize machine cells and components to reduce movement between cells and enhance the efficiency of machine usage in manufacturing environments....

In the past decade, financial institutions have invested significant efforts in the development of accurate analytical credit scoring models. The evidence suggests that even small improvements in the accuracy of existing credit-scoring models may optimize profits while effectively managing risk...

The search for relevant models that can describe the loss data has been one of the main interests of researchers for decades. There is limited research on modeling such data using K-component mixture models. An example of that can be Miljkovic and Grün's study (2016) of six distributions where...
