fish is one of the healthy foods and a rich source of animal protein average household consumption of fish in our soceity is such a low in that one can rarly find it in a family food basket. therefore, this study aimed at analyzing the factors affecting consumption of fish among tabrizian households. to do this, a total of 224 questionnaires was conducted using clustered two- stage sampling met...

In this paper, we develop improved techniques for defending against adversarial examples at scale. First, we implement the state of the art version of adversarial training at unprecedented scale on ImageNet and investigate whether it remains effective in this setting—an important open scientific question (Athalye et al., 2018). Next, we introduce enhanced defenses using a technique we call logi...

Employing a probit, logit and gompit model this paper demonstrates that small firm development, represented by a group of structural, behavioral and performance variables determines regional location in Poland. The paper uses original data that samples the small firm stratum in two contrasting regions, Pomorskie and Lubelskie. The following variables were shown to be significantly correlated wi...

This paper discusses the representability of discrete logit-type models including multinomial logit and nested logit model from a mathematical approach. It is shown that the logit-type models can be reconstructed from mathematical approximation theory with sigmoidal functions widely used in Neural Network modeling without the basic assumptions such as IIA and iid, and the distribution (or densi...

The random coefficients multinomial choice logit model, also known as the mixed logit, has been widely used in empirical choice analysis for the last thirty years. We prove that the distribution of random coefficients in the multinomial logit model is nonparametrically identified. Our approach requires variation in product characteristics only locally and does not rely on the special regressors...

Within forest growth modeling it is customary to employ LOGIT models to predict individual tree mortality. In this paper we use Learning Vector Quantization and the self-organizing map as diierent formalisms to predict individual tree mortality. The data set for this study came from permanent sample plots in uneven-aged Norway spruce (Picea abies L. Karst) stands in Austria. After parameterizin...

health and safety are important factors in today’s life. most of studies show that consuming the chicken that has anti biotic caused different diseases like digestive vessel cancer. attention to controlled use of antibiotics can play a key role in society health which considered in the production of green chicken. planning for increasing the production of mentioned chicken needs the investigati...

Background Ordinal outcomes are common; however, selecting an appropriate analysis is often problematic. Acute stroke trials routinely measure dependency using an ordinal scale as the primary outcome. Historically trials have dichotomised ordinal scales to compare the proportion dependent across groups, which limits statistical power to detect an effect. The OAST Collaboration (2007) showed ord...
