Supervised least squares support vector machine algorithms are used to predict the reservoir parameters but the prediction accuracy is low. We combined the least squares support vector machine （LSSVM） algorithm with semi-supervised learning and established a semi-supervised regression model, which we call the semi-supervised least squares support vector machine （SLSSVM） model. The iterative matrix inversion is also introduced to improve the training ability and training time of the model. We use the UCI data to test the generalization of a semi-supervised and a supervised LSSVM models. The test results suggest that the generalization performance of the LSSVM model greatly improves and with decreasing training samples the generalization performance is better. Moreover, for small-sample models, the SLSSVM method has higher precision than the semi-supervised K-nearest neighbor （SKNN） method. The new semi- supervised LSSVM algorithm was used to predict the distribution of porosity and sandstone in the Jingzhou study area.展开更多

This method has three steps which are all carried out in a wrapper framework. First, all the original features are ranked according to their importance. An evaluation function E（f） used to evaluate the importance of a feature is introduced. Secondly, the set of important features is selected sequentially. Finally, the possible redundant features are removed from the important feature subset. Because the features are selected sequentially, it is not necessary to search through the large feature subset space, thus the efficiency can be improved. Experimental results show that the set of important features for clustering can be found and those unimportant features or features that may hinder the clustering task will be discarded by this method.展开更多

Methods An interview survey was conducted in 20 township hospitals, 26 countryside drugstores, and 84 village dispensaries in Hainan, Anhui, Henan, and Sichuan Provinces. Results （1） The main drug supplying organizations in the countryside are township hospitals and village dispensaries. （2） The personnel in the drug supplying organizations are rather inadequately educated. （3） The drug resources in the grass-roots countryside are complex and disordered. （4） Most of the countryside retail drugstores are small, and the number of drugstores is small, but their development potential is great. Conclusion （1） A basic drug catalogue for rural areas should be made up. （2） Legitimate drug wholesale companies should be encouraged to supply drugs for vast countryside. （3） Development of drug distributionstations in townships should be promoted. （4） The administration of drugs in the countryside should be strengthened.展开更多
