On Selecting "R" Items from "M" Independent Groups (Linear Programming‪)‬

Abstract: Choosing the best r individuals from m independent groups by the regular way, doesn't consider the competition "between" these groups, but it only considers the competition "within" the groups. In this study we discuss the selection by considering the competition with both between and within the groups, by using a Linear Programming (LP) approach and depending on the True Position (TP) introduced by Abdelfattah [1], which depends on resealing the data for each group. Key words: Linear Programming Approach, True Position
