PURPOSE To evaluate the minimum number of visual field (VF) tests required to precisely predict future VF results using ordinary least squares linear regression (OLSLR), quadratic regression, exponential regression, logistic regression, and M-estimator robust regression model. METHODS Series of 15 VFs (Humphrey Field Analyzer 24-2 SITA standard) were analyzed from 247 eyes of 155 open-angle g...

In this study, predictive capabilities of apparent viscosity of oil-based drilling fluids which is used in National Iranian South Oilfields Company (NISOC) were evaluated using Newtonian and non-Newtonian models to drive a new suitable equation. The non-Newtonian models include Bingham plastic, Power law, Herschel-Bulkley, Casson, and Robertson-Stiff. To validate the results, the calculated vis...

For regression, y is real valued, L is the often squared loss (but not always; for example see Least Absolute Deviation regression) and w is the best linear fit to the data. For binary classification, y is binary, L is often the 0/1 loss and w is the best hyperplane separating the two sets of samples. Since the 0/1 loss is nonconvex, we often use convex upper bounds for the 0/1 loss examples of...

In this study, the motion estimation procedure is observed in view of a frame. In the thousands of blocks in a frame, some blocks can be well predicted using the motion estimation scheme, but some blocks can not. As considering the time efficiency, a good threshold can determine the most important portion of the computation in the motion estimation procedure for a frame. Based on the observatio...

a fully instrumented air conditioning laboratory unit capable of controlling drying air temperature and humidity integrated with an instantaneous weighing thin layer drying system was used to investigate the thin layer drying behavior and desorption equilibrium moisture content of canola (brassica napus l.). to this aim, freshly harvested canola samples with moisture content of about 12±0.5% (d...

In the study, Drainmod model was used to compare measured water table depth fluctuations on the farm with those simulated by the model, also comparison of measured drainage outflow of the farm drains and model simulated was investigated. This study was made in a part of the Irrigation and Drainage Network of ABADAN Date palms. By statistical analysis of the measured and predicted water table de...

energy management is one of the main ways of the efficient use of energy resources. the prediction of crop yields based on energy inputs can help farmers and policymakers to estimate the level of production. required data for study were randomly collected from 70 broiler farms in north west of iran. the input energies were included human labour, machinery, fuel, feed and electricity and the out...
