An influence factors analysis method for online auditing performance assessment based on AHP (analytic hierarchy process) and GIA (grey incidence analysis) is proposed in this paper according to the requirements of online auditing performance assessments. In this method, a grey incidence model is developed to analyze the influence factors of online auditing performance based on the characteristics...
In this paper the value trends of the development coefficient is studied using the grey system theory for the dynamic development coefficient. After a brief introduction of grey system theory, the coefficient trend analysis and the dynamic development coefficient analysis using the grey system are discussed consequently. Next two numerical examples are used to demonstrate the proposed method.
Uncertain versions of three classical optimization problems are examined: the resource allocation in a complex of independent operations and two task scheduling problems Q∥ΣCi, P∥Cmax. It is assumed that some parameters of the problems are uncertain and they belong to intervals of the known bounds. The complexity of the uncertain problems is determined. The worst-case absolute regret approach is used...
This paper offers a conceptual construction of governance and democracy based on ideas of complexity (Ashby, 1964) and viability (Beer, 1979), which is illustrated with reference to a historic review of the practice of democracy in Colombia. The historic roots of democracy, particularly the legacies of the Greek polis and the French and American revolutions, to some degree have conditioned our thinking...
In this paper domestic and foreign performance measure theory about supply chain (SC) is reviewed comprehensively, as well as the problems and disadvantages in performance measure system is discussed in details. Based on these, SC performance measure index system is constructed from the perspectives of customers, to address benefit-relative, SC stability, finance, life cycle and sustainable development...
This study investigates the mediation effects of the four components of psychological empowerment on the relationship between supervisor support and job satisfaction. To test this relationship, 350 boundary employees in automobile repair store were surveyed. Regression analysis findings demonstrated that psychological empowerment and its' four dimensions partially mediated the relationship. This study...
The grey metabolism model is employed to explore the population problem of Zhanli Dong ethnic minority village which is honored as “The First Family Planning Village” for population development. The outcome shows that the population of Zhanli village will grow gradually in the following years. By analyzing the factors concerning population, it is derived that it must have the joint action from fertility...
The BP neural network is one of the most widely used neural networks. It uses the back-propagation algorithm for training, and the algorithm has the disadvantage of slow convergence and long training time. In this paper, a parallel BP neural network algorithm with a balancing scheme of dynamic load is presented in order to reduce the training time of large scale neural networks. The experimental results...
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the granger causality relationship between GDP and coal consumption or coal production in China during the period of 1978–2008, after the policy of economics reform and opening was implemented in China. Results of the cointegration and Granger causality tests show that there exists a unidirectional causality between GDP and coal consumption or coal production...
For the grey correlation model in grey clustering method, correlation model of interval number is put forward in this paper. From the point of the principle of gray correlation, in order to avoid the distance between interval numbers, we calculate the correlation coefficient of two interval numbers directly. At last, we study the software development risk factors clustering based on correlation model...
Grey DEA model is a non-deterministic efficiency measurement model on basis of the concept of relative efficiency used to evaluate and make decision-making with uncertain information. In view of this, grey DEA model is used to make performance evaluation on university S&T intermediary agencies according to the index data from other researches, and then some insightful results are discussed.
By making an analogy with the human body, the present paper tries to underline the relations between firm's failure causes and its current situation, in terms of the syndrome that can be identified at its level. For this reason, some elements taken from medicine, such as symptoms, causes and syndromes are presented and characterized from the firm point of view. Knowing the type of syndrome and the...
In this paper a modified Unbiased GM(1,1) model is constructed by producing new data sequence with the method of transforming every datum of raw data sequence into its 2-th root. It is demonstrated that the property of the modified Unbiased GM(1,1) model is superior to Unbiased GM(1,1) model by a numerical experiment comparison. Moreover, the application of the modified model to electric load forecasting...
It often plays an important role in the earthquake prediction to monitor and identify fault rupture. Based on five years' live fault rupture observational data of the three gorges project's reservior head area, this paper applies grey statistical model to analyze eight live fault ruptures and identify seven live fault ruptures according to 0.1mm displacement criterion per year which is regarded as...
To tackle a class of grey multi-index decision problems with completely unknown attribute weighted values and interval grey number, a dynamic multi-stage decision-making method is proposed based on the grey system theory. Firstly, we presented a method for comparison of two grey numbers and identification of the attribute weighted values. Secondly, the experts expressed attribute values in internal...
Various factors have contributed to China's rapid economic growth, such as capital accumulation, technological progress, structural change, resource optimization, system and institutional innovation. But the rapid growth is motivated by other reasons as well, for example, the demographic factor. This paper contributes to the domain by analyzing and studying the relationship between labor force and...
Grey cluster is one of the most important models of Grey system. But most the methods of grey cluster can not rank the objects, and try to classify them to an accurate grey class. Then the result of grey cluster loses its “greyness”. Grey Cluster Integration Coefficient is created to solve the ranking problem, and Hierarchical Cluster is used to improve grey cluster to make the result more reasonable.
In this paper, we propose an uncertain regression model with an intrinsic error structure facilitated by uncertain canonical process. This model is suitable for dealing with expert's knowledge ranging from small to medium size data of impreciseness. In order to have a rigorous mathematical treatments on the new regression model, we establish a series of new uncertainty concepts sequentially, such...
As an emerging technology, cloud computing has attracted more attention. More and more enterprises or government agencies started to explore cloud computing. However, with the extensive use of cloud computing, security issues came out on a growing scale. It is necessary to solve these security issues to promote the wider applications of cloud computing. This paper mainly introduces the concept and...
In this paper screw representation of the robotic manipulator's kinematics is studied comprehensively. First, the robotic manipulator's rigid body motions are describeded using Lie group and screw theory; then the robotic manipulator's kinematics algorithm are established; next, the algorithm is implemented using mathematica; the representative robotic manipulator is selected and its kinematics are...
