Integrating gray system theory and logistic regression into case-based reasoning for safety assessment of thermal power plants

Highlights from the literature on risk assessment techniques adopted in the mining industry: A review of past contributions, recent developments and future scope

“…Supplier selection Product late delivery, cost, risk factor, supplier's service performance with the help of three decision makers [65] DoE-grey relational theory Technology selection Rapid prototyping-accuracy, surface roughness, tensile strength, elongation; Flexible manufacturing systems-accuracy, flexibility in software interface (total 11 criteria); AIS-reduction in labour cost, reduction in WIP, floor space used (total 7 criteria) [66] Grey system theory and logistic regression into case based reasoning Thermal power plants Case-Id-implementation of safety principle and goal management, implementation of responsibility system for safety in production, case safety supervision system, integrated management [67] Fuzzy preference programming combined with analytic hierarchy process Airlines alliance Market, service/product, computer system, equipment logistic [68] Fuzzy ANP Conceptual design alternatives Marketability, competitive advantage, profitability [69] ANP-AHP Solar power project Changes in the energy policy, social consequences resulting from land acquisition, total 50 parameters prioritization of the hazards based upon risk levels obtained from the evaluation techniques mentioned above. The construction industry has undergone a number of technological advancements leading to an increase in the number of construction hazards.…”

New machine-learning algorithms for prediction of Parkinson's disease

“…We introduce methods for learning sparse classifies in supervised learning for PD diagnosis using the SMLR (Krishnapuram et al 2005;Zhong, Zhang, and Wang 2008;Ding, Huang, and Xu 2011;Liang et al 2012;Low and Lin 2012;Liu, Zechman, Mahinthakumar, and Ranji Ranjithan 2012). The methods have weighted sums of basis functions providing sparsity and promoting priors making the weight estimates either very large or exactly zero leading to better generalisation by reducing the number of basis functions used (Li, Yang, and Wu 2011;Qasem, Shamsuddin, and Zain 2012).…”

Research on the Economic Benefit Evaluation of Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Technical Renovation Projects Based on the Improved Factor Analysis and Incremental Method in China

“…The Balanced Scorecard method, Fuzzy Delphi method, Hybrid Multi-Criteria Decision-Making method [27], Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation method [28], Analytic Hierarchy Process [29], Weighted Russell Directional Distance method [30], technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution (TOPSIS) method and so on were often used [31,32]. Gu et al [33] and Liang et al [34] have combined the Delphi method, Grey System Theory and Logical Regression method to evaluate the safe operation of thermal power enterprises. Wu et al [35] developed a multi-criteria assessment model by combining the improved grey relation analysis (GRA) approach and the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method to comprehensively evaluate the overall benefits of a the building combined heat and power (BCHP) system.…”
