Land use planning with multiobjective programming: a model for forest development in the hills of Nepal
… production and decreasing soil loss and cost. A weighting technique within the multiobjective framework was developed to facilitate land use planning as a socio-political decision making process. The application of the model was demonstrated with data from Phewatal watershed. The model generated …

The impact of Arctic amplification on the extratropical jets
… jets are analyzed using a novel Bayesian weighting technique. This approach is shown to reduce systematic bias and indicates that future forcing of the jets - due to greenhouse gas emissions - will be first order linear (i.e. independent of historical bias). Results suggest that the widely …

Empirical Studies Of The Effects Of Legal Reforms On The Criminal Justice System In China
… to trial). In addition, using a propensity score weighting technique to control for potential confounding variables, this study finds that defendants who pleaded guilty are more likely to receive positive case outcomes regarding pretrial detention and probation decision. The third paper aims to …

Semiparametric and nonparametric methods for the analysis of panel count data
… is proposed and the inverse survival probability weighting technique is used. In addition, the asymptotic distribution of the proposed estimate is derived and a model checking procedure is presented. Simulation studies are conducted to evaluate finite sample properties of the proposed approach, …

AUTOMATIC TUNING OF PROCESS CONTROLLERS : PRACTICAL APPROACHES
… cancellation. The simple relay auto-tuning technique for PID controllers is also extended to the Smith predictor. Parameters of the first order or second order plus dead time model are used directly in the predictor part as well as in computing the optimal settings of the primary controller …

Analogy-based software project effort estimation. Contributions to projects similarity measurement, attribute selection and attribute weighting algorithms for analogy-based effort estimation.
… a viable alternative method to other estimation techniques, and in many cases, researchers found it outperformed other estimation methods in terms of accuracy and practitioners¿ acceptance. However, the overall performance of analogy based estimation depends on two major factors: similarity …

Continual Learning of Object Classification in the Real World
… with the multi-expert idea and a dynamic weighting technique to deal with the exacerbated forgetting introduced by the long-tail distribution. Experiments show that the proposed method effectively improves the accuracy in the CIL-LT setup on MNIST, CIFAR10, and CIFAR100. From the …

Approaches to quantifying and reducing uncertainty in GCMs over Southern Africa
… and thus the westerly wave to the south. The weighting techniques provide insight into how much of the model bias is contributed by differences in synoptic frequency and what part is attributable to systematic biases in the models which result in a different mean state for a given synoptic …

Efficient localization methods for a point source and rigid body
… generalized trust region subproblems (GTRS) technique but with non-optimal accuracy, therefore we add proper range weighting (SR-WLS) into it and investigate the resulting performances of mean squared error (MSE) and bias. Its asymptotic efficiency is proven theoretically and validated by …

Qualitative and quantitative optimization of skylights : a comprehensive and inclusive analysis of skylight sizes for an office while providing enough daylight, avoiding glare and saving energy
… optimization approach implemented a weighting system for an aggregated metric, including Mean Daylight (MD) and imperceptible Daylight Glare Probability (iDGP) and Ratio of Energy Saving (RES), which resulted in a SFR of 11% as the inclusive optimal solution for all the examined …

Indicators of economic and social progress: an assessment and an alternative
… proposed non-monetary progress index employs a weighting technique based on public opinion. That is because market-based evaluations of progress components are inefficient since it is incapable of, amongst other things, accurately reflecting public concern. Hence, the use of a public opinion …
