Intelligent methods for solving inverse problems of backscattering spectra with noise : a comparison between neural networks and simulated annealing (2009)

Li, Michael M., Guo, Wanwu., Verma, Brijesh., Tickle, Kevin., O'Connor, John.

This paper investigates two different intelligent techniques - the neural network (NN) method and the simulated annealing (SA) algorithm for solving the inverse problem of Rutherford Backscattering...

Significant cancer risk factor extraction : an association rule discovery approach (2008)

Nahar, Jesmin., Tickle, Kevin.

Cancer is the top most death threat for human life all over the world. Current research in the cancer area is still struggling to provide better support to a cancer patient. In this research our aim...

Rule based base classifier selection for bagging algorithm (2008)

Tickle, Kevin., Pang, Ben.

Bagging is a popular method that improves the classification accuracy for any learning algorithm. A trial and error classifier feeding with the Bagging algorithm is a regular practice for...

Finding a Unique Association Rule Mining Algorithm Based on Data Characteristics (2008)

Mazid, Mohammed, Faculty Of Business And Informatics., Ali, Shawkat, Faculty Of Business And Informatics., Tickle, Kevin, Faculty Of Business And Informatics.

This research compares the performance of three popular Association Rule Mining algorithms, namely Apriori, Predictive Apriori and Tertius based on data characteristics. The accuracy measure is used...

Bivariate distributions applied to modelling wave parameters and storm tide level (2007)

Tickle, Kevin., Piorewicz, Jurek.

The paper considers a methodology for conducting a joint probability analysis on storm tides and waves in order to evaluate appropriate conditions for risk- based analyses of sea conditions in a...

Principal component analysis and neural networks for analysis of complex spectral data from ion backscattering (2006)

Li, Michael M., Fan, Xiaolong., Tickle, Kevin.

The problem of ion backscattering spectral data analysis, which is to determine the physical structure of a sample from the measured spectra, was studied with neural network techniques. A new method...

Modelling wave height, steepness, direction and high water level (2005)

Tickle, Kevin., Piorewicz, J.

The design of low cost beach protection structures is improved by reliable estimation of the risk of failure. This paper uses data recorded off a coastal town in Queensland Australia and recent...

Fuzzy constraint levels for probabilistic performance measures (2004)

Tickle, Kevin.

Performance risk measures are often used in environmental decision making applications as a means to enhance the understanding of a system subject to stochastic inputs and demands. These risk...

Risk evaluation of low cost protection structure on a macro-tidal coast (2004)

Tickle, Kevin., Piorewicz, J.

Low cost beach protection structures are often the only viable option for small coastal communities faced with coastal erosion problems, and inherent in their design is the risk of failure. Assessing...

Assessing the capacity reliability of ageing water distribution systems (2003)

Xu, Chengchao., Goulter, Ian., Tickle, Kevin.

This paper presents two new efficient algorithms for estimating the capacity reliability of ageing water distribution systems recognising the uncertainties in nodal demands and the pipe capacity....
