Introduction to Data Envelopment Analysis and Its Uses: With Dea-Solver Software and References
ISBN: 9780387285801 / Angielski / Miękka / 394 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Recent years have seen a great variety of applications of DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) for use in evaluating the performances of many different kinds of entities engaged in many different activities in many different contexts in many different countries. One reason is that DEA has opened up possibilities for use in cases which have been resistant to other approaches because of the complex (often unknown) nature of the relations between multiple inputs and multiple outputs involved in many of these activities (which are often reported in non-commeasurable units). Examples include the... Recent years have seen a great variety of applications of DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) for use in evaluating the performances of many different ... |

Metaheuristic Procedures for Training Neural Networks
ISBN: 9780387334158 / Angielski / Twarda / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Artificial neural networks (ANNs) offer a general framework for representing non-linear mappings from several input variables to several output variables, and they can be considered as an extension of the many conventional mapping techniques. In addition to many considerations on their biological foundations and their really wide spectrum of applications, constructing appropriate ANNs can be seen as a really hard problem. A distinguished task in building ANNs is the tuning of a set of parameters known as weights. This will be the main focus of the present book. The trained ANNs can be...
