The article discusses a Bayesian measure of association, B-index, and compares it with the
other existing measures of agreement, association, and similarity, both chance-corrected …

Covering theory, algorithms, and methodologies, as well as data mining technologies, Data
Mining for Bioinformatics provides a comprehensive discussion of data-intensive …

We explicitly address the fundamental issue of member diversity in multi-model ensembles.
To date, no attempts in this direction have been documented within the air quality (AQ) …

This paper deals with measuring the influence of observations on the results obtained with
CART classification trees. To define the influence of individuals on the analysis, we use …

In this paper we propose a new index Z for measuring the dissimilarity between two
hierarchical clusterings (or dendrograms). This index is a metric since it satisfies the axioms …

We propose to extend CART for bivariate marked point processes to provide a segmentation
of the space into homogeneous areas for interaction between marks. While usual CART tree …

Pyroprinting is a novel, library-based microbial source tracking method developed by the
Biology department at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. This method consists of two parts:(1) a …

Decision trees are popular classifiers in data mining, artificial intelligence, and pattern
recognition, because they are accurate and easy to comprehend. In this paper, we introduce …

In this paper we suggest a new index for measuring the distance between two hierarchical
clusterings. This index can be decomposed into the contributions pertaining to each stage of …

Most already existing indices used to compare two strict partitions with different number of
clusters are based on coincidence matrices. To extend such indices to fuzzy partitions, one …
