- Description: A nonlinear differential equation with delay serving as a mathematical model of several applied problmes is considered. Sufficient conditions for the global asymptotic stability and for the existence of periodic solutions are given. Two particular applications are treated in detail. The first one is a blood cell production model by Mackey, for which new periodicity criteria are derived. The second application is a modified economic model with delay due to Ramsay. An optimization problem for a maximal consumption is stated and solved for the latter.

- Description: Naive Bayes classifier is the simplest among Bayesian Network classifiers. It has shown to be very efficient on a variety of data classification problems. However, the strong assumption that all features are conditionally independent given the class is often violated on many real world applications. Therefore, improvement of the Naive Bayes classifier by alleviating the feature independence assumption has attracted much attention. In this paper, we develop a new version of the Naive Bayes classifier without assuming independence of features. The proposed algorithm approximates the interactions between features by using conditional probabilities. We present results of numerical experiments on several real world data sets, where continuous features are discretized by applying two different methods. These results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm significantly improve the performance of the Naive Bayes classifier, yet at the same time maintains its robustness. © 2011, Australian Computer Society, Inc.

- Description: Bayesian Networks have deserved extensive attentions in data mining due to their efficiencies, and reasonable predictive accuracy. A Bayesian Network is a directed acyclic graph in which each node represents a variable and each arc a probabilistic dependency between two variables. Constructing a Bayesian Network from data is the learning process that is divided in two steps: learning structure and learning parameter. In many domains, the structure is not known a priori and must be inferred from data. This paper presents an iterative unrestricted dependency algorithm for learning structure of Bayesian Networks for binary classification problems. Numerical experiments are conducted on several real world data sets, where continuous features are discretized by applying two different methods. The performance of the proposed algorithm is compared with the Naive Bayes, the Tree Augmented Naive Bayes, and the k

- Description: This paper introduces a new optimal control model to describe and control the dynamics of infectious diseases. In the present model, the average time to isolation (i.e. hospitalization) of infectious population is the main time-dependent parameter that defines the spread of infection. All the preventive measures aim to decrease the average time to isolation under given constraints. The model suggested allows one to generate a small number of possible future scenarios and to determine corresponding trajectories of infected population in different regions. Then, this information is used to find an optimal distribution of bed capabilities across countries/regions according to each scenario. © 2015 IEEE.

- Description: To mine significant dependencies among predictiveattributes, much work has been carried out to learn Bayesian netwrok classifiers (BNC T s) from labeled training data set T. However, if BNC T does not capture the “right” dependencies that would be most relevant to unlabeled testing instance, that will result in performance degradation. To address this issue we propose a novel framework, called target learning, that takes each unlabeled testing instance as a target and builds an “unstable” Bayesian model BNC P for it. To make BNC P and BNC T complementary to each other and work efficiently in combination, the same learning strategy is applied to build them. Experimental comparison on 32 large data sets from UCI machine learning repository shows that, for BNCs with different degrees of dependence target learning always helps improve the generalization performance with minimal additional computation.
