This paper presents a theory of institutional specialization in which some countries uphold the rule of law while others choose extractive institutions, even though they are ex-ante identical.This is borne out of two key ...

This paper presents a theory of institutional specialization in which some countries uphold the rule of law while others choose extractive institutions, even when countries are ex-ante identical. The driving force of ...

This work presents a comparative analysis of techniques for extracting rules from databases through Formal Concept Analysis (FCA). The rules considered here are sets of dependencies among attributes of databases. Specifically, ...

Association rule mining is an important data mining technique used for discovering relationships among all data items. Membership functions have a significant impact on the outcome of the mining association rules. An ...

This paper proposes a fuzzy classification system for the risk of infestation by weeds in agricultural zones considering the variability of weeds. The inputs of the system are features of the infestation extracted from ...

This paper describes the modeling of a weed infestation risk inference system that implements a collaborative inference scheme based on rules extracted from two Bayesian network classifiers. The first Bayesian classifier ...

This work presents a study about knowledge extraction from Neural Networks in the form of fuzzy rules. In the application of this technique, it was investigated the problem of classification of the protein secondary ...
