Article Synopsis
  • A thorough psychosocial assessment for mental illness like depression usually takes multiple sessions, which risks worsening the patient's condition due to prolonged evaluations.
  • The Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) approach, particularly using the MOORA method, effectively identified psychological factors contributing to a patient's depression, shortening assessment times.
  • Results showed a significant reduction in necessary therapy sessions (up to 39%) for various levels of depression, while accuracy in identifying key psychological factors improved significantly, underscoring the effectiveness of the MOORA method over traditional psychotherapy.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on parameter estimation in Software Reliability Growth Models (SRGMs), highlighting its importance in reliability assessment after model construction.
  • It critiques traditional estimation methods like maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) and least squares estimation (LSE), proposing the use of metaheuristic optimization algorithms to overcome their limitations.
  • Four specific metaheuristic algorithms—Grey-Wolf Optimizer (GWO), Regenerative Genetic Algorithm (RGA), Sine-Cosine Algorithm (SCA), and Gravitational Search Algorithm (GSA)—are compared, with findings indicating that RGA and GWO outperform others in estimating parameters effectively and efficiently.
