System dynamics modelling to support policy analysis for sustainable health care
(2014)
System dynamics (SD) is an established simulation methodology used to explore the behaviour of social systems over time. The field has addressed challenging sustainability problems in fisheries, urban planning and environmental ...
Polarity assessment of thermoresponsive poly(NIPAM-co-NtBA) copolymer films using fluorescence methods.
(Springer, 2010)
The in-situ, non-contact, and non-destructive measurement of the physicochemical properties such as the polarity of thin, hydrophilic polymer films is desirable in many areas of polymer science. Polarity is a complex factor ...
Equation-based policy optimization for agent-oriented system dynamics models
(Wiley Blackwell, 2008-01-01)
Within system dynamics, optimization has played an important role in identifying the best range of parameter values for policies in any given model. Optimal solutions focus on discovering the best combination of model ...
Analysis of the Effects of Unexpected Outliers in the Classification of Spectroscopy Data
(2009)
Multi-class classification algorithms are very widely used, but we argue that they are not always ideal from a theoretical perspective, because they assume all classes are characterised by the data, whereas in many ...
A further analysis of the role of heterogeneity in coevolutionary spatial games
(Elsevier, 2017-11-04)
Heterogeneity has been studied as one of the most common explanations of the puzzle of cooperation in social dilemmas. A large number of papers have been published discussing the effects of increasing heterogeneity in ...
Simulation of an optional strategy in the prisoner’s dilemma in spatial and non-spatial environments
(Springer Verlag, 2016-08-10)
This paper presents research comparing the effects of different environments on the outcome of an extended Prisoner's Dilemma, in which agents have the option to abstain from playing the game. We consider three different ...
Follow flee: A contingent mobility strategy for the spatial prisoner's dilemma
(Springer Verlag, 2016-08-10)
This paper presents results from a series of experimental simulations comparing the performances of mobile strategies of agents participating in the Spatial Prisoner's Dilemma game. The contingent movement strategies Walk ...
On the Classification Performance of TAN and General Bayesian Networks
(Elsevier, 2009)
Over a decade ago, Friedman et al. introduced the Tree Augmented Naïve Bayes (TAN) classifier, with experiments indicating that it significantly outperformed Naïve Bayes (NB) in terms of classification accuracy, ...
Co-evolutionary analysis: a policy exploration method for system dynamics models
(System Dynamics Society / Wiley, 2012-10-22)
In system dynamics (SD), complex nonlinear systems can generate a wide range of possible behaviours that frequently require search and optimization algorithms in order to explore optimal policies. Within the SD literature, ...
Revealing the Origin and Nature of Drug Resistance of Dynamic Tumour Systems
(2010)
In this paper, the authors identify the strategies that resistant subpopulations of cancer cells undertake to overcome the effect of the anticancer drug Topotecan. For the analyses of cell lineage data encoded from timelapse ...
