Abstract A common issue in trade network analysis is missing data, as some countries do not report flows. This paper explores what constitutes suitable how to deal with and demonstrates the results using key measures. All-to-all potential connectivity of between considered a starting point, contrast approach analyzing networks only that actually In order fill gap two approaches, more complete d...

Usually, quantitative data standardization and/or normalization procedures requested in biological and as well biomedical analysis with the purpose to infer about linear regression relationship between processed variables conditions. Here, we embarked understand performance of transformation systems terms reducing variability assessing distribution normality by a computational statistic approac...

Coastal areas usually involves in several kinds of water use, such as agricultural, industrial, and drinking, which are needed to be considered as important in water management systems. There is a need to study the sustainable water resources management in different terms. A combined methodology, which considers the human activities, as well as environmental problems according to some criteria,...

work engagement literature has been dominated by quantitative research methods. this article aims to study work engagement antecedents using mixed-method sequential explanatory design. this design starts with the collection and analysis of quantitative data followed by the subsequent collection and analysis of qualitative data. the qualitative phase of the study was designed to incorporate the ...

A common study to investigate gene-environment interaction is designed to be longitudinal and population-based. Data arising from longitudinal association studies often contain missing responses. Naive analysis without taking missingness into account may produce invalid inference, especially when the missing data mechanism depends on the response process. To address this issue in the ana...

While mining a data set of 554 chemicals in order to extract information on their toxicity value, we faced the problem of scaling all the data. There are numerous different approaches to this procedure, and in most cases the choice greatly influences the results. The aim of this paper is 2-fold. First, we propose a universal scaling procedure for acute toxicity in fish according to the Directiv...
