Fuzzy Logic Application for House Price Prediction
No full textVarious methods have been used previously to estimate housing sales prices to model the underlying non-linearity relation between housing attributes and the price of property. More advanced non-linear modelling techniques such as Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) and Fuzzy Logic (FL) emerged recently to model the nonlinear relation between the independent variables and the price function. A new structured model for house prices prediction based on Fuzzy Logic is proposed. A fuzzy logic based regression model has proved to be effective to address many prediction problems used in business forecasting, marketing and insurance. This paper highlights the development of a theoretical formulation for sales price prediction through the utilisation of a fuzzy regression model by applying fuzzy logic and fuzzy inference system techniques. The results show favourable outputs which indicate superior prediction function when compared with ANN and FIS as well as indicate the fuzzy functional relationship between dependent and independent variables
KEADILAN DAN KEPASTIAN HUKUM: MENYOAL KONSEP KEADILAN HUKUM HANS KELSEN PERSPEKTIF “AL-‘ADL” DALAM AL-QUR’AN
No full textJustice as an ideal and legal objective can be realized through law. Hans Kelsen said, justice is the legality that the benchmark lies in its validity according to positive law. This study aims to describe the concept of fairness according to Hans Kelsen's philosophy and relevance to the concept of al-Adl al-Qur; an. This study is a literature review, with a philosophical approach - Usul Fiqh. The results of the study show that the concept of al-'Adlu in the Qur'an has a wider scope from a human perspective. Al-'Adl has the substance of absolute justice only possessed by the Divine, revealed to the Prophet Muhammad, the Prophet's behavior is justice (prophetic philosophy). Subjective justice, which is essentially an attempt to fulfill positive legal certainty as a benchmark, is completely untenable. Because, justice is not limited to validity according to positive law but justice must pay attention to the meaning of lafadz al-'Adl is a transcendental basis that is absolute for human benefit. The concept of "al-'Adl" offers three levels of benchmarks of justice, namely dharurîyat, hajîyat and tahsinîyat as the spirit of the Qur'an that links morality and belief.Keywords: absolute, al-‘adl, justice, legal satisfation ABSTRAKKeadilan sebagai cita-cita dan tujuan hukum bisa diwujudkan melalui hukum. Hans Kelsen menyebutkan, keadilan adalah legalitas bahwa tolak ukurnya terletak pada keabsahannya menurut hukum positif. Penelitian ini bertujuan mendeskripsikan konsep adil menurut filsafat Hans Kelsen dan relevansi dengan konsep al-Adl al-Qur;an. Metodologi kajian ini merupakan kajian pustaka, dengan pendekatan filosofis-Ushul Fiqih. Hasil kajian bahwa konsep al-‘Adlu dalam al-Qur’an memiliki ruang lingkup lebih luas dari perspektif manusia. Al- ‘Adl memiliki substansi keadilan mutlak hanya dimiliki oleh Ilahi, diwahyukan kepada Nabi Muhammad, maka perilaku Nabi adalah keadilan (filsafat profetik). Keadilan subjektif yang pada esensinya sebagai upaya pemenuhan kepastian hukum positif sebagai tolak ukur, sepenuhnya tidak dapat dipertahankan. Sebab, keadilan tidak terbatas pada keabsahan menurut hukum positif tetapi keadilan harus memperhatikan makna lafadz al-‘Adl basis transendental yang bersifat absolut bagi kemaslahatan manusia. Konsep “al-‘Adl” menawarkan tiga tingkatan tolak ukur keadilan, yakni dharurîyat, hajîyat dan tahsinîyat sebagai ruh dari al-Qur’an yang mengaitkan antara moral dan kepercayaan.Keyword: absolut, al-‘adl, keadilan kepastian huku

Application Of Fuzzy Regression Model For Real Estate Price Prediction
No full textMany studies have been conducted for modeling the underlying non-linear relationship between pricing attributes and price of property to forecast the housing sales prices. In recent years, more advanced non-linear modeling techniques such as Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and Fuzzy Inference Systems (FIS) have emerged as effective techniques to predict the house prices. In this paper, we propose a fuzzy least-squares regression-based (FLSR) model to predict the prices of real estates. A comprehensive comparison studies in terms of prediction accuracy and computational complexity of ANN, Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) and FLSR has been carried out. ANN has been widely used to forecast the price of real estates for many years while ANFIS has been introduced recently. On the other hand, FLSR is comparatively new. To the best of our knowledge, no property prices prediction using FLSR was developed until recently. Besides, a detailed comparative evaluation on the performance of FLSR with other modeling approaches on property price prediction could not be found in the existing literature. Simulation results show that FLSR provides a superior prediction function as compared to ANN and FIS in capturing the functional relationship between dependent and independent real estate variables and has the lowest computational complexity
The Complete Muhammad Ali
No full textIncluding material and photographs not included in most of the 100 other books about the champion, Ishmael Reed's The Complete Muhammad Ali is more than just a biography-it is a fascinating portrait of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st. An honest, balanced portrayal of Ali, the book includes voices that have been omitted from other books. It charts Ali's evolution from Black Nationalism to a universalism, but does not discount the Nation of Islam and Black Nationalism's important influence on his intellectual development. Filipino American author Emil Guillermo speaks about how "The Thrilla' In Manila" brought the Philippines into the 20th century.

A Comparative Analysis of Muhammad and Oe’s Novels
No full textThis is a comparative analysis of two novels entitled “The Son of Mad Mat Lela,” which is written by Ishak Hadji Muhammad, a famous Malaysian writer and the other one is “Teach us to Outgrow our Madness,” by a Japanese novelist Kenzaburo Oe. This study compared the literary styles of Muhammad and Oe through the lens of their vocabulary and language use. Muhammad’s literary styles is simple, clear and vivid. One reads the story with delight because the words that strung together sound on the air like music. He does not use metaphor; his style is still striking in his own way. Many readers still notice his style no matter how plain it is. This is to say that Muhammad could write lucidly, simply and lively by observing grammar rules in writing. He uses common phrases of the day not with artificially but with naturalness. While, Oe’s literary style is more of long and complex sentences or two that occupy a paragraph. Most of his passages convey strong emotion describing an intimate knowledge of the lives of the characters
