Kalman filters
Alpha Beta Gamma Filters (sometimes called improved Alpha Beta Filters)
if real-time is not a problem, then you can go with least-squares curve fit and similar constructs.
You're talking about extracting 2nd order functions from noisy data if all you have is GPS.

Hi, i am currently doing a project that require my .net website to be able to make some medical diagnosis given a set of symptoms.
Is neural network the way to go?
or shld i try other stuff like prolog?
if neural network is the way to go, how can i go about doing it?
is matlab the correct tool to use?
pls help
thks alot

This is an Expert System.
Try using one of the languages like Lisp
But I dont know how to use them in the web.

Hi,
i understand tt matlab sw has a neural network toolkit that enable developers to simply train the nodes and use the network.
and we can simply interface the create program file by means of com
it tt really possible ?
tt means i dun have to do much coding?

I'm not entirely sure what to even Google for this particular algorithm, so any insight would be much appreciated.
The following is the problem I need to solve:
Say I have a list of many raw items, with some repeats (the number doesn't matter, just assume it's more than three or 4. It could be several hundred, it could be 5).
I have ANOTHER list of possible combinations of those items. We'll call these recipes. Each recipe can be created out of 3 of the other items.
The algorithm I need to create will do the following:
* Determine which recipes can be created out of the list of raw items.
* Determine the OPTIMAL combination of recipes. That is, I want to minimize the number of remaining items.
Yes, I could do this the brute force way - if I wanted my program to run all night. I KNOW there are implementations of this algorithm that will run in mere seconds.
It has been 6 years since I took my CS class on algorithms, so I no longer remember what this is called. Doesn't it have something to do with Hamiltonians? Consequently, it's hard to search Google for it 
If you remember what this is and/or can point me the right direction, I'd appreciate it!
More Info
This is a problem I've set for myself simply to re-develop these skills. This is not homework or work, I just want to figure out how to do it.
Also, this actually IS a way to figure out how to make real food recipes. I have a game I play where I can get lots and lots of raw ingredients, and I can make recipes out of those ingredients. I've gotten sick of referring back to the list of recipes, so I wanted to make a program that will do the crunching for me. I figured this would be a perfect opportunity to use to remind myself how to solve these types of problems.

You might be looking for the Simplex algorithm. I think the restriction is that the combinations have to be linear to be able to use it. I'm assuming that since it's called "linear optimization".

That's it!
Thanks!
I don't know if this problem is even solvable - seems so simple, but then, so does the Traveling Salesman. I suspect this problem is probably NP if it doesn't have sufficient initial conditions. But at least I know where to look now

In .Net the Image class has a GetThumbnailImage method, which returns a thumbnail image of the image in question. Now I know next to nothing about math, but can anyone suggest a good resource which explains how this thumb nailing process works?
Me: Can you see the "up" arrow?
User:Errr...ummm....no.
Me: Can you see an arrow that points upwards?
User: Oh yes, I see it now!

Interesting tool - unfortunately it only shows that the .Net funtion wraps a GDI+ funtion:
internal static extern int GdipGetImageThumbnail(HandleRef image, int thumbWidth, int thumbHeight, out IntPtr thumbImage, Image.GetThumbnailImageAbort callback, IntPtr callbackdata);
Me: Can you see the "up" arrow?
User:Errr...ummm....no.
Me: Can you see an arrow that points upwards?
User: Oh yes, I see it now!

That method is used to define a status object. It that calls another function, but it still might be pointing to a wrapper.

for a component we are using we need a color to be converted to a hex number (this is no problem my college wrote the code for it) but now we need that number (wich is stored in a sql db) to be converted back to a color (for displaying purposes)
this is the code to convert a color to number:
Dim R As Byte = &HFF - color.R
Dim G As Byte = &HFF - color.G
Dim B As Byte = &HFF - color.B
Dim co, cn As Integer
co = R + 256 * G + 256 * 256 * B
cn = &HFFFFFF - co
Return cn
anyone know how I can 'revert' this conversion so that I get the color back
If my help was helpfull let me know, if not let me know why.

have a look at Color.FromArgb()

if you create a Color from its RGB components (within their valid range) and then extract
its components again, you get the same RGB values you started with. This proves nothing
is wrong with FromArgb().
If it does not work for you, you did something wrong elsewhere. Why does your code invert the
color components (0xFF-...)? Did you forget to invert them a second time?

well we are working with a component (datawindows) and in order to get that component to display the same color as was picked in .NET we need to convert them (that is what the above code does).
But now I have to display the color that has been saved to the db (in this converted state) in .NET. And that is where I'm stuck.
The problem is that I can't get the RGB and A extracted back from the converted integer
maybe an example would help
I used the color red for this one:
color.toargb(color.red) = -65536
put red true the conversion for the component and we get: 255
conversion: (255-255)+(256*(255-0))+(256*256*(255-0)) = 16776960
16777215-16776960=255
now getting the number in bold back isn't a problem the problem is that I don't know how to get R,G and B back from the above formula.
once I have these it's indeed a simply putting them thru the fromargb methode
hope this clears things up a bit

I am using C# syntax here:
So what you are saying is you have a hex integer c=0x00bbggrr where rr,gg,bb are the
255-complement of R,G,B and you need to figure out the values for R, G and B?
int r=c%255;
int b=(c>>8)%255;
int g=(c>>16)%255;
Color col=Color.FromArgb(255-r,255-g,255-b);
BTW there is no need for magic constants such as 16777215 (which is 0x00FFFFFF)

somehow that doesn't work I think that this line of code (from the conversion) is the cause off all this trouble:
co = R + 256 * G + 256 * 256 * B
if I use you're code I keep getting 0-values for R,G,B nomatter wich color I'm using
Luc Pattyn wrote: BTW there is no need for magic constants such as 16777215 (which is 0x00FFFFFF)
I know  but on paper it's easier to look at the number
to make it easier to read here is the entire code again
Dim R As Byte = &HFF - color.R
Dim G As Byte = &HFF - color.G
Dim B As Byte = &HFF - color.B
Dim co, cn As Integer
co = R + 256 * G + 256 * 256 * B
cn = &HFFFFFF - co
Return cn
'cn' is the value stored in the db and also the value that needs to be converted back to a color

if something does not work properly, you need to debug it, which means test a simple
case and look at intermediate values to find out where exactly it starts to go wrong,
then fix that.

done that, still can't figure it out. Anyway I discused the problem with my boss and we'll just add a column to the db with the arg (vb.net style) value in it and use that one so my problem has been solved well at least worked around it
thank you for you're time

I'm not sure about the promotion rules in VB (that ugly stuff is VB?  ) But in C and C++ by declaring R, G, and B as "byte" the arithmetic on the right of "co = " would be performed as byte and then promoted to int to be stored in co. If that is the case, you're getting overflow and wrap around.

didn't think of that but just tested it and there doesn't seem to be a problem with it (calculated it manualy (yes I still know how to do that )) and compared it to what is storred in co and in cn
anyway we solved our problem by just storing the argb value of the color into the db in a new column (it's a work around but it works so... (this isn't something we wanted to loose time over))
thank you anyway

Speaking in VB because that's what you have...
Function GetRValue(ByVal nColor As Long) As Long
GetRValue = nColor And &HFF&
End Function
Function GetGValue(ByVal nColor As Long) As Long
GetGValue = (nColor \ &H100&) And &HFF&
End Function
Function GetBValue(ByVal nColor As Long) As Long
GetBValue = (nColor \ &H10000) And &HFF&
End Function

Hi all,
last days I'm trying to stablish a priority dinamically. The objective is to determine which object is the best option to be chosen every cycle execution, and then operate with it.
The objects are mashines. Some parameters (like consumed energy) affect directly the priority, others (like reaction time, non stop activity time...) affect inversely Proportional, other parameters have to have some fixed values (like steps in the process) and other are bool (like permission).
I have it more or less clear with the factors that have to go multiplying, dividing and so on... but I don't find any formule that gives me a desirable result.
More or less is something like:
Permission * Already_Activate * ((Energy / (Reaction_time * Non_Stop_Time)) + StepValue [Actual]).
This is a simplified example (actually I have 10 different parameters, some of them variable during the process), I hope you can understand what I mean.
Does anyone know any web where the creation of formules for dinamically calculate priorities or parameters is explained?
Or give me some tips, methodes to find it out by myself.
Thanks
Greetings.
