This study is concerned with a sorting problem; the placement of alternatives into preference classes in the existence of multiple criteria. An interactive model is developed to address the problem, assuming that the decision maker has an underlying utility function which is linear. A recent methodology, Even-Swaps, which is based on value tradeoff is utilized in the model for both making an estimation of the underlying utility function and generating possible dominance among the alternatives on which it is performed. Convex combinations, dominance relations, weight space reduction, Even-Swaps and direct decision maker placements are utilized to place alternatives in preference classes. The proposed algorithm is experimented with randomly generated alternative sets having different characteristics.

Modelling Energy Consumption of the Republic of Serbia using Linear Regression and Artificial Neural Network Technique
Protic, Milan; Fathurrahman, Fahman; Raos, Miomir (Mechanical Engineering Faculty in Slavonski Brod, 2019-02-01)
The objectives of the study are twofold. First, we aim to examine the most influential socio-economic indicators to explain energy consumption in Republic of Serbia. The second objective is to develop models that are able to predict the future energy consumption in the Republic of Serbia. This could be the first important step towards proper energy management in the country. Several potential socio-economic indicators are selected to be the independent variables. Regression analysis is conducted to select t...
The effect of instruction with problem posing on tenth grade students' probability achievement and attitudes toward probability
Demir, Barış Burçin; Bulut, Safure; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2005)
The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of instruction with problem posing on tenth grade students̕ probability achievement and attitudes towards probability. The study was conducted in Nallıhan-Ankara with a total of 82 tenth grade students who were enrolled in one Public High School and one Anatolian High School. Twenty-seven of the subjects received instruction with Problem Posing (PPI), and fifty-five of the subjects received instruction with Traditional Method (TM). The following measur...
Health promoting behaviors and exercise stages of change levels of university students at transition to university
Ebem, Zeynep; İnce, Mustafa Levent; Department of Physical Education and Sports (2007)
The purposes of this study were to examine (a) health promoting behaviors, (b) physical activity levels, (c) exercise stages of change levels, and (d) exercise preferences of students who had just entered the university by gender and residence. Participants were 438 students from Middle East Technical University (METU) English Preparatory school. Adolescent Health Promotion Scale (AHPS), International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), Physical Activity Stages of Change Questionnaire (PASCQ), and Physi...
Experimental modal analysis of a steel grid frame
Kaya, Hüseyin; Türer, Ahmet; Department of Civil Engineering (2004)
In this study, experimental modal analysis was studied. Experimental modal analysis includes modal testing, modal parameter estimation and calibration. For this purpose a 4 span skewed steel frame was constructed in Structural Mechanics Laboratory of Civil Engineering Department of METU. The model was transported to Vibration and Acoustic Laboratory of Mechanical Engineering Department of METU. The tests were conducted by cooperation with Vibration and Acoustics Laboratory. Due to lack of experimental modal...
Physical activity and exercise stages of change levels ofMiddle East Technical University students
Cengiz, Cevdet; İnce, Mustafa Levent; Department of Physical Education and Sports (2007)
The purposes of this study were to examine (a) physical activity participation levels, (b) exercise stages of change levels and (c) physical activity preferences of the Middle East Technical University undergraduate students with respect to gender, residence and faculty. Participants were 953 students from 5 different faculties (496 male, and 547 female). For the data collection, International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), Physical Activity Stages of Change Questionnaire, and Physical Activity Pre...
