It is common that the deformation of an excavation slope leads to the displacement or even destruction of the surrounding buildings. An effective way to put an end to such accidents is to have adequate knowledge on the trigger factors of the deformation and failure of excavation slopes. Herein,...

Relevance vector machine, a sparse probabilistic learning machine based on the kernel function, has excellent ability of prediction and generalization. It is proposed by this paper that the optimized relevance vector machine (ORVM) is a wind power interval forecasting model which is able to...

Purpose: In an online shopping environment, individual reviews and aggregated ratings are important anchors for consumers’ purchasing decisions. However, few studies have considered the influence of aggregated ratings on consumer decision-making, especially at the neural level. This study...
