Effective simultaneous feature and sample reduction for highly imbalance datasets: A case study on intrusion detection data     Abstract Imbalance problem is an important issue to deal with when working with many datasets especially for the applications which concern detection and diagnosis. Some important classification problems in this category include network intrusion detection and disease diagnosis. Class imbalance problem may result in biased decision towards the majority class. This paper proposes a novel simultaneous feature and sample selection approach which deals with this problem by weighting the samples (features) based on their importance and their role in the constitution of the whole dataset. For this purpose, a new criterion is defined which is call centrality and accounts for the data points which are located in the core of the distribution. This criterion is calculated based on the number of neighbors of each data point on the data manifold. Locally linear embedding (LLE) algorithm is used to find the data manifold. This approach tries to preserve the main structure of the dataset in the space even after feature/ample removal. Experiments…

 case study assignment For this assignment, you will first review the following case study: A textile manufacturer is closing its North Carolina plant and moving the production of its products to a developing nation in Southeast Asia. The primary reason for the move is because the lower labor cost will allow the organization to benefit from the new location. Proponents of the decision laud the move as a means to save the organization by taking advantage of the free market and finding cheaper methods of producing the company′s goods.

case study on leadership and ethics problems Problem The case study presents several leadership and ethics problems that could potentially bring the healthcare services provider down. The first ethics problem is financial dishonesty whereby the company’s financial department has been colluding with external parties to siphon revenues from the organization. Additionally, these unscrupulous employees have corrupted the financial reporting and auditing framework such that reporting these misdeeds is a problem. These actions by the financial and administrative teams are tantamount to corruption and fraud. The second ethical issues plaguing the healthcare services provider is malpractice. Since the United States government had been providing health insurance for its citizens, many health services providers have taken advantage of these services through insurance fraud (Bass & Steidlmeier, 1999). HealthSouth, the company under scrutiny, had in the past been in trouble for overcharging Medicaid for health equipment meaning the insurance companies and government funds would cater to these overcharged costs. The results are that the company owner or other senior executives would pocket these extra costs in a severe instance of insurance fraud. Therefore,…
