One of the tasks of decision-making support systems is to develop methods that help the designer select a solution among a set of actions, e.g. by constructing a function expressing his/her preferences over a set of potential solutions.
In particular, the proposed methodology estimates dwell times at station by considering, as input, passenger flows, station configurations and a function expressing the dependence of dwell times on the number of passengers at the most loaded door.
Proposals typically build utility frameworks by constructing a performance model of multi-tier applications embedded in an optimisation problem [19, 22, 25, 36, 42], where a utility function expresses satisfaction of each workload towards assigned resources.
Weighing of the entries: a weight function expresses the importance of words in each answer and within the whole corpus.
Infomap is a global optimization method, which aims to optimize a quality function expressing the code length of an infinitely long random walk taking place on the graph.
Each alternative of the set A will be evaluated by a real function expressing the evaluation of alternative for given criteria, we note (G=g_0, g_2, g_3,,g_m) the evaluation of the alternative of the criteria considered [31].
This model is also a new and general kernel learning method, where the kernel mapping is indeed an explicit function expressed as a sub-network, different from an implicit function induced by a kernel function traditionally.
with λ being a positive regularization parameter and Φ a certain function expressing regularization constraints on the circular cross-spectra of the sources.
The factor mod is given by a sigmoid function expressed as follows: mod = 1 1 + e − a · dis + b (20).
The optimization problem is formulated as the minimization of a Lagrangian function expressing the FRP cost and design parameters after determining the sensitivities of the column capacity.
By minimizing a cost function expressed as the sum of the norms of the difference between analytical and experimental parameter matrices, this study directly derives the integrated mathematical expressions for updated physical parameter matrices.
