Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMeasures of Explained Variation and the Base-Rate Problem for Logistic RegressionDinesh Sharma, Dan McGee, B.M. Golam KibriaProblem statement: Logistic regression, perhaps the most frequently used regression model after the General Linear Model (GLM), is extensively used in the field of medical science to analyze prognostic factors in studies of dichotomous outcomes. Unlike the GLM, many different proposals have been made to measure the explained variation in logistic regression analysis. One of the limitations of these measures … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 25 Feb 2012 · 8,576 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFuzzy Modeled K-Cluster Quality Mining of Hidden Knowledge for Decision SupportS. Parkash Kumar, K. S. RamaswamiProblem statement: The work presented Fuzzy Modeled K-means Cluster Quality Mining of hidden knowledge for Decision Support. Based on the number of clusters, number of objects in each cluster and its cohesiveness, precision and recall values, the cluster quality metrics is measured. The fuzzy k-means is adapted approach by using heuristic method which iterates the cluster to form an efficient … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 11 · 24 Aug 2011 · 6,671 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDurian Husk Properties and its Heating Value EquationPatomsok WilaiponProblem statement: Agricultural residue seems to be one of the most promising energy resources for developing countries. Among the other fruits, durian is a popular one for Thai people. Therefore, a large amount of durian husk is left at the shops or factories. This study was aimed to investigate the characteristics and heating value of durian husk and to develop … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 9 · 1 Aug 2011 · 7,856 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRainfall Variation and Changing Pattern of Agricultural CycleMd. Mahmudul Alam, Mohd Ekhwan bin Toriman, Chamhuri Siwar, Basri TalibProblem statement: The decision of crop selection and the output of agricultural production are highly determined by the environmental factors, especially rainfall and water availability. In the tropical area, particularly in Malaysia, influences of these exogenous variables are so high that overall agricultural productions are now vulnerable. Crops are affected through rainfall in two different ways-high and low rainfalls. Avoiding … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2011 · 9,254 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDifferent Sorption Approaches and Leachate Fluxes Affecting on Mn2+ Transport through Lateritic AquiferSrilert Chotpantarat, Chakkaphan SutthiratProblem statement: Contamination of the underlying aquifer beneath a mining area is usually of great concern even when a prevention plan has been implemented. Approach: To assess the potential risk of heavy metal contamination, the simulation of heavy metal transport was carried out with different leachate fluxes and sorption parameters derived from equilibrium models with linear and Langmuir isotherms and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2011 · 6,145 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPersonality Traits as Predictors towards Readiness to Change among Female Drug AddictsW.S. Wan Shahrazad, Z.M. Lukman, A.R. Roseliza Murni et al.Problem statement: Understanding the personality traits among women who are involved in drug addiction is a crucial issue prior to starting any intervention programs. It may provide an indication of their readiness to receive treatment and change this addictive behavior. This study was conducted to examine the predictive relationship between personality traits and readiness to change among women drug addicts … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2011 · 7,892 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEthical Issues in E-Commerce on the Basis of Online RetailingSinan Nardal, Ayse SahinProblem statement: The rapid spread of e-commerce has created tremendous opportunities for economic efficiency and customer choice. Use of the global Internet computer network for ecommerce activities provides some advantages to the consumers on their daily life.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGenetic and Biochemical Aspects of Ectoine Biosynthesis in Moderately Halophilic and Halotolerant Methylotrophic BacteriaValentina N. Khmelenina, Ildar I. Mustakhimov, Alexander S. Reshetnikov et al.Problem statement: The cyclic imino acid ectoine is a widely distributed compatible solute synthesizing by halophilic and halotolerant bacteria to prevent osmotic stress at high external salinity. This water-keeping compound is used in a variety of commercial cosmetics and therapeutic products. Approach: Development of integrated, predictive functional model of the metabolic and regulatory netwoks of ectoine-producing microbes is an active … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 13 Dec 2010 · 9,560 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Application of Multivariate Analysis in Modeling Students Placement in Nigerian Higher InstitutionsAli Idrisa Gambo, Mohammed Waziri YusufProblem statement: Students’ placement into courses of study in most (if not all) tertiary institutions in Nigeria had long been a problematic exercise. Most students get placed into courses of study they are ill suited to and then for which they are ill prepared. Approach: This research focused on the polytechnic, taking the newest federal polytechnic as a case study, … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,289 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractData Optimization with Multilayer Perceptron Neural Network and Using New Pattern in Decision Tree ComparativelyMurat Kayri, Omay CoklukProblem statement: The aim of the present study is to exemplify the use of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) for parameter prediction. Missing value or unreal approach to some questions in scale is a problem for unbiased findings. To learn a real pattern with ANN provides robust and unbiased parameter estimation.
