Various techniques for the extraction of ANN rules have been used, but most them focused on certain types networks and their training. There are very few methods that deal with rule as systems independent architecture, training, internal distribution weights, connections, activation functions. This article proposes a methodology rules, regardless based genetic programming. The strategy is previous algorithm aims at achieving generalization capacity characteristic ANNs by means symbolic...

Objective: In breast diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) is used to discriminate between malignant and benign lesions. As ADC estimates can be affected by weighting factors, our goal was determine optimal pair of b-values for discriminating lesions at 3.0 T. Methods: 152 females with 157 (89 68 benign) underwent MRI, including a DWI sequence sampling six 50, 200, 400, 600, 800 1000 s mm−2. values were computed from different pairs compared obtained...

Abstract In this paper, we analyse the consequences of two flexibility dimensions proposed in a previous approach—adjustment capability and responsiveness—on bullwhip effect supply-chain model when stochastic AR(Equation1) demand process is considered. First modelling manager's belief on forecasting pull, push hybrid ordering methods, it revealed that high adjustment induces robust reduction effect. Secondly, found maximal responsiveness not always necessary management strategy. Indeed, show...
