“…With the fast development of computing techniques in the last century, intelligent methods begin to take a key role in BFP. The applied intelligent methods include decision trees (DT) (Frydman et al, 1985;Sun & Li, 2008a;Gepp, Kumar, & Bhattacharya, 2010), neural networks (Odom & Sharda, 1990;Serrano-Cinca, 1996;Wilson & Sharda, 1994), CBR (Bryant, 1997;Jo et al, 1997;Li & Sun, 2008, 2009a, 2009bLin & McClean, 2001;Li, Sun, & Sun, 2009;Park & Han, 2002;Yip, 2004;Yip & Deng, 2003), support vector machines (SVM) (Hua, Wang, & Xu, 2007;Min & Lee, 2005;Shin, Lee, & Kim, 2005;Hardle, Lee, & Schafer, 2009;Yeh, Chi, & Hsu, 2010). Most of these researches demonstrate the applicability of various intelligent methods in BFP.…”
