The aim of this paper is to analyse different alternative implementations for a problem defined as "point allocation inside polygons" for Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR). The problem involves situations where the ...

Modeling of financial market data for detecting important market characteristics as well as their abnormalities plays a key role in identifying their behavior. Researchers have proposed different types of techniques to ...

Text mining techniques have become a popular method for discovering relationships between genes based on searching the biomedical literature. The co-occurrence of gene names within individual documents is used to produce ...

The work reported here has been motivated by the need for a generic spatial model to overcome the limitations of Cellular Automata (CA) regarding the rigid square-cell structure and limited neighbourhood configurations. A ...

This paper uses an individual-based modelling approach to explore the effects of genetic tradeoff across a spatial gradient. Tradeoff is represented by the ability of an individual to live at higher environmental values - ...

Genetic drift is a well known and important force in directing the evolution of a population. The nature of genetic drift in panmictic populations is well understood, and new research is shedding light on the behaviour of ...

There is a large amount of interest in creating models from data using a variety of machine learning methods. Most of these approaches require a good distribution of observed values to produce reliable models. The use of ...

Reintroduction of threatened species to predator-free offshore islands has long been advocated in New Zealand as a prime management tool for conservation. They also provide a good experimental framework to investigate ...

A modularised connectionist model, based on the Mixture of Experts (ME) algorithm for time series prediction, is introduced. A set of connectionist modules learn to be local experts over some commonly appearing states of ...

This paper describes several simple local space-time statistical measures that can be applied to data that describes ball position over space and time. The main aim is to show that global statistics of rugby union do not ...
