A System Dynamics Model of Land-use Change for Climate Change Adaptation: The Case of Uganda
(Scitepress science and technology publications, 2021)
System dynamics models in land use change are useful tools for understanding the cause and effect of land
use changes, assessing the impacts of land use systems on the environment, and supports land use planning
and ...
Measuring Computing Research Excellence and Vitality
(Fountain Publishers, 2006)
Measuring computing excellence and vitality has become an important approach to
understanding sustainable information and communication technology (ICT) for societal
transformation and development around the world. In ...
A Methodology for Feature Selection in Named Entity Recognition
(Fountain Publishers, 2007)
In this paper a methodology for feature selection in named entity recognition is
proposed. Unlike traditional named entity recognition approaches which mainly
consider accuracy improvement as the sole objective, the ...
On the Convergence of an Inexact Primal-Dual Interior Point Method for Linear Programming
(Springer, 2005)
The inexact primal-dual interior point method which is discussed
in this paper chooses a new iterate along an approximation to the
Newton direction. The method is the Kojima, Megiddo, andMizuno globally
convergent ...
ICT as an Engine for Uganda’s Economic Growth: The Role of and Opportunities for Makerere University
(Fountain Publishers Kampala, 2007)
The use of Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) to improve how
goods are produced and services are delivered is a feature of everyday life in developed
countries. If ICT is used appropriately, it has the ...
The Impact of Equal Weighting of Low and High-Confidence Observations on Robust Linear Regression Computations
(BIT Numerical Mathematics, 2001)
Equal weighting of low- and high-confidence observations occurs for Huber, Talwar, and
Barya weighting functions when Newton’s method is used to solve robust linear regression
problems. This leads to easy updates and/or ...
A Review of Termination Rules of an Inexact Primal-Dual Interior Point Method for Linear Programming Problems
(Investigación Operacional, 2018)
In this paper we apply the Inexact Newton theory on the perturbed KKT-conditions that are derived
from the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker optimality conditions for the standard linear optimization problem.
We discuss different ...
Generalized Association Rule Mining Using Genetic Algorithms
(Fountain Publishers, 2008)
We formulate a general Association rule mining model for extracting useful
information from very large databases. An interactive Association rule mining
system is designed using a combination of genetic algorithms and a ...
Application of a Class of Preconditioners to Large Scale Linear Programming Problems
(Springer, 1999)
In most interior point methods for linear programming, a
sequence of weighted linear least squares problems are solved, where the
only changes from one iteration to the next are the weights and the right
hand side. The ...
Properties of Preconditioners for Robust Linear Regression
(Fountain Publishers, 2000)
In this paper, we consider solving the robust linear regression problem y = Ax + ∈ by
an inexact Newton method and an iteratively reweighted least squares method. We
show that each of these methods can be combined with ...
