Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUnivariate Generalized Additive Models for Simulated Stationary and Non-Stationary Generalized Pareto DistributionMostafa Behzadi, Mohd Bakri Adam, Anwar FitriantoGeneralized additive models as a predictor in regression approaches, are made up over cubic spline basis and penalized regression splines. Despite of linear predictor in GLM, generalized additive models use a sum of smooth functions of covariates as a predictor. The data which are used in this study have generalized Pareto distribution and have been simulated by inversion method. The … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 3 Jun 2017 · 7,434 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBuilding Energy Modeling Using Artificial Neural NetworksMaya Arida, Nabil Nassif, Rand Talib, Taher Abu-LebdehAccurate modeling of total building energy is now vital to reduce energy consumption. This is especially true for buildings since they are considered as the largest energy consumer in the United States. This paper investigates modeling methods for building energy-systems using non-linear auto-regression artificial neural networks. The proposed model can forecast the whole building energy consumptions given the four input … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 6 Jun 2017 · 7,131 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMultilevel Mixed Analysis and Mapping on Divorce Problem in UAEFaisal G. KhamisDespite the wealth of research investigating the divorce problem in the developed countries, few and inconsistent studies investigated this problem at emirate-level in developing countries, such as United Arab Emirates (UAE). The Questions are raised whether divorce is changed over time and whether clustering in divorce exists within emirates in UAE. The objectives are to investigate the change in divorce … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 31 Oct 2016 · 7,302 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractBig Data and Parkinson’s Disease - from Understanding of Disease to Personalised MedicineYen F. Tai, Nicola PaveseThe advancement of information technology in recent years has generated a huge amount of datasets in all areas of scientific research. This has led to new opportunities to harness the 'Big Data' to improve our understanding of diseases - from investigating disease mechanisms to monitoring treatment responses. The Big Data approach is a data-driven and often hypothesis-free, way of studying … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 27 Jul 2016 · 7,761 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance of Hybrid GANN in Comparison with Other Standalone Models on Dengue Outbreak PredictionNor Azura Husin, Norwati Mustapha, Md. Nasir Sulaiman et al.Early prediction of diseases especially dengue fever in the case of Malaysia, is very crucial to enable health authorities to develop response strategies and context preventive intervention programs such as awareness campaigns for the high risk population before an outbreak occurs. Some of the deficiencies in dengue epidemiology are insufficient awareness on the parameter as well as the combination among … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 12, Issue 6 · 2 Jul 2016 · 8,167 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling Pan Evaporation for Kuwait using Multiple Linear Regression and Time-Series TechniquesJaber AlmedeijThis study attempts to model evaporation for Kuwait under arid conditions by using a wide range of monthly evaporation data, varying from 0.1 to 40 mm/day, from January 1993 to July 2015. Owing to the reason that the well-known theoretical evaporation models presented in the literature have been justified for a much shorter data range, the paper adopts empirical approaches … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 6 · 8 Jun 2016 · 7,092 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractQuantifying Business Process Optimization using RegressionGezani Richman Miyambu, Solly Matshonisa SeeletseThe paper applies regression methods to model Business Process Optimisation (BPO) in order to derive measures for the extent of BPO achievement if efforts to optimise have already started. This will help to identify components of business that still need to be improved if full optimisation has not yet been achieved in a business. Regression methods were used to explain … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 12 · 25 Nov 2015 · 6,629 accessesView PDFCite
