It assumes that members falling into the same class have similar historical characteristics, which is a too strong an assump-tion. Additionally, it can be difficult for the algorithm to underline the differences from a large volume of data and multitude of temporal projections. In such situations, a combination of supervised and unsupervised learning proved to be superior in performance as compared to supervised learning alone. In the proposed methodology, we develop feature vectors of temporal events that are subsequently split into groups by similarity of spatio-temporal characteristics using a clustering algorithm. We then apply a supervised learning methodology to predict the class within each of these subpopulations. We show a dramatic improvement in predictive power of this joint methodology as compared to supervised learning alone. The case study that we use to demonstrate the methodology utilizes medical claims data to predict a patient’s short-term risk of myocardial infarction. In particular, we identify groups of people with temporal diagnostic patterns associated with a high-risk of myocardial infarction in the coming three months. We use these patterns as a profile reference for assessing the state of new patients. We demonstrate that the newly developed combined approach yields improved predictions for myocardial infarction over using classification alone.","PeriodicalId":54242,"journal":{"name":"Military Operations Research","volume":"19 1","pages":"37-50"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2014-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70948535","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The CTP structure provides both the routing and target sensing components of the installation protection problem. Our variant is called the in-transit Vigilant Covering Tour Problem (VCTP) and considers not only the vertex cover but also the additional edge coverage capability of the unmanned ground vehicle while sensing in-transit between vertices. The VCTP is formulated as a Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) with a dual set covering structure involving vertices and edges. An empirical study compares the performance of the VCTP against the CTP on test problems modified from standard benchmark TSP problems to apply to the VCTP. The VCTP performed generally better with shorter tour lengths but at higher computational cost.","PeriodicalId":54242,"journal":{"name":"Military Operations Research","volume":"181 ","pages":"5-18"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1002/9781118918937.CH2","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50734330","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research explores three critical challenges faced by communications planners in employing MANET technology within the US Marine Corps infantry battalion. First, we examine and quantify the ability of MANETs to support communications between highly mobile units operating in potentially rugged terrain over long distances with relatively low-power radios. We also analyze the ability of MANETs to use intermediate nodes to overcome the inherent range limitations of higher frequencies. Finally, we consider the challenge of allocating bandwidth to MANET systems to enable sufficient throughput rates. To explore these challenges, we conduct a rigorous comparative analysis using various network simulation and optimization techniques. We develop a network formulation to model key aspects of communications systems, and then simulate and gauge network performance in environments ranging from low-fidelity, theoretical representations to realistic, high-fidelity combat scenarios. We quantify the benefit that MANETs can provide to tactical communications networks over traditional point-to-point networks. We also quantify the value of the use of unmanned aircraft systems (UASs) as airborne nodes in MANETs, a capability especially useful in communications scenarios involving rugged terrain and large distances. We also find that due to MANET fragility in high-loss environments, tactics may need to be modified to support the full use of MANET communications. To our knowledge, we are the first to rigorously examine and quantify the value of MANET technology within the Marine Corps infantry battalion.","PeriodicalId":54242,"journal":{"name":"Military Operations Research","volume":"18 1","pages":"19-35"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70948404","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
