Demand forecasting of short life cycle products using data mining techniques (2020)
Conference Proceeding
Afifi, A. (2020). Demand forecasting of short life cycle products using data mining techniques. In Artificial Intelligence Applications and Innovations. AIAI 2020

Products with short life cycles are becoming increasingly common in many industries due to higher levels of competition, shorter product development time and increased product diversity. Accurate demand forecasting of such products is crucial as it p... Read More about Demand forecasting of short life cycle products using data mining techniques.

A study of heuristic evaluation measures in fuzzy rule induction (2018)
Book Chapter
Afifi, A. (2018). A study of heuristic evaluation measures in fuzzy rule induction. In L. Iliadis, I. Maglogiannis, & V. Plagianakos (Eds.), Artificial Intelligence Applications and Innovations (533-545). Springer, Tiergartenstraße 17, 69121 Heidelberg, Germany

The rule induction process could be conceived as a search process,and hence an evaluation metric is needed to estimate the quality of rules found in the search space and to direct the search towards the best rule. The evaluation measure is the most... Read More about A study of heuristic evaluation measures in fuzzy rule induction.

A novel algorithm for fuzzy rule induction in data mining (2013)
Journal Article
Afifi, A. (2014). A novel algorithm for fuzzy rule induction in data mining. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part C: Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science, 228(5), 877-895. https://doi.org/10.1177/0954406213492273

Rule induction as a method of constructing classifiers is of particular interest to data mining because it generates models in the form of If-Then rules which are more expressive and easier for humans to comprehend and check. Several induction algori... Read More about A novel algorithm for fuzzy rule induction in data mining.
