The phrase "a prior algorithm" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when referring to an algorithm that was developed or used before the current one being discussed.
Example: "The results of the new model were compared to those produced by a prior algorithm to assess improvements in accuracy."
Alternatives: "an earlier algorithm" or "a previous algorithm".
For operations on the particles in a 81923 simulation (0.55 trillion grid points) on 262,144 Cray XE6 cores, the new algorithm is found to be orders of magnitude faster relative to a prior algorithm in which each particle is tracked by the same parallel process at all times.
It can be considered as a prior algorithm for automatic infectious disease outbreak detection.
The results of this study suggest that the MPM is a prior algorithm for outbreak detection and differences of epidemic features in detection performance should be considered in automatic surveillance practice.
In the second scenario, without the determined start positions, a Nearest Neighbor Prior algorithm (UNNP) is compared with TSP-S and SSNOR algorithms.
The following algorithm specifies a procedure to sample from the conditional prior : Algorithm 1.
*Cough for 2-3 weeks or longer †Any one out of 4-7 suggestiveuggestive of TB. §We assume that the proportion of persons who receive a clinical diagnosis depends on the negative predictive value of the prior algorithm, as explained in the Methods.
Note that our proposed algorithm is different from the prior algorithm in[16].
Our resolution of the service selection problem uses our prior algorithm proposed for QoS prediction[14].
We implemented these two algorithms in C++ and performed side-by-side comparisons with the prior algorithm.
The color, architecture, symmetry, and homogeneity (CASH) algorithm for dermoscopy includes a feature not used in prior algorithms, namely, architecture.
Prior algorithms either require a source of random bits or a large number of states per node.
