1.1 Parametric models: Linear Regression with non-linear basis functions Although the linear regression with linear basis is widely used in different areas, it is not powerful enough for lots of the real world cases as not all the models are linear in the real world. However, we can use non-linear basis functions to deal with non-linear relationships. It is just a linear combination of some fun...

The excellent adsorption properties of clay minerals make the optimization heavy metal removal subject numerous research projects. In present study, ASLAVITAL cosmetic (ACC) powder was applied for Cd2+ from water. main deposit ACC is Pădurea Craiului Mountains in Romania. A wide range morpho-structural approaches (SEM, EDX, FTIR, Raman, XRD) were used to characterize morphology and elemental co...

This study aims to evaluate the impact of pavement physical characteristics on the frequency of single-vehicle run-off-road (ROR) crashes in two-lane separated rural highways. In order to achieve this goal and to introduce the most accurate crash prediction model (CPM), authors have tried to develop generalized linear models, including the Poisson regression (PR), negative binomial regression (...
