In the era of HAART in resource poor settings, it is imperative to understand and address the causes of AIDS related mortality. This collaborative study aimed at defining the predictors of mortality … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,661 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn the Predictability of Risk Box Approach by Genetic Programming Method for Bankruptcy PredictionAlireza Bahiraie, Noor Akma bt Ibrahim, A. K.M. AzharProblem statement: Theoretical based data representation is an important tool for model selection and interpretations in bankruptcy analysis since the numerical representation are much less transparent. Some methodological problems concerning financial ratios such as non-proportionality, non-asymetricity, non-scalicity are solved in this study and we presented a complementary technique for empirical analysis of financial ratios and bankruptcy risk. Approach: This study … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,948 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrediction of the Daily Mean PM10 Concentrations Using Linear ModelsJ. C.M. Pires, F. G. Martins, S. I.V. Sousa et al.The performance of five linear models to predict the daily mean PM10 concentrations was compared. The linear models proposed were: (i) multiple linear regression; (ii) principal component regression; (iii) independent component regression; (iv) quantile regression; and (v) partial least squares regression. The study was based on data from an urban site in Oporto Metropolitan Area and the analysed period was … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,132 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractForecasting Air Temperatures Using Time Series Models and Neural-based AlgorithmsMahmoud M. Smadi, Farouq S. MjalliRecently, neural network models have been popular and found useful for forecasting a wide variety of time series data in many disciplines. This is due to their favorable modeling properties of simplicity, fault and noise tolerance and their capability to adapt to process changes. Nevertheless, applications in climatology have been less widespread than other disciplines such as economics. In this … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,272 accessesView PDFCite
