We analyze the AneuRisk65 curvature functions using a likelihoodbased warping method for sparsely sampled curves, and combine it with logistic regression in order to discriminate subjects with aneurysms at or after the terminal bifurcation of the internal carotid artery (the most life-threatening) from subjects with no aneurysms or aneurysms along the carotid artery (the less serious). Signific...

Dynamic analysis of the coupled logistic map redounds to know and predict the characteristics of high-dimension complex nonlinear system. Using the method combining calculation and experiment, the following conclusions are shown: (1) The boundary equation of the first bifurcation of the coupled logistic map in the parameter space is given out. (2) Chaotic patterns of the coupled logistic map ma...

We are given a large database of logistic data containing information about shipments and their states in time. We introduce the problem of sequential data mining over such database collected in shipment handling process. We present three approaches on handling such data, which are, respectively, simple sequential data mining tool, advanced sequential data mining tool and transition probability...

Ranking efficiency based on DEA results can be used for grouping DMUs. The resulting group membership can be partly related to environmental characteristics of DMU, which are not used either as input or output. Utilizing the expert knowledge on super efficiency DEA results, we propose a multinomial Dirichlet regression model which can be used for the purpose of selection of new projects. A case...

This study uses data from the 1993 National Study of Post-secondary Faculty to examine the extent to which the concentration of women among part-time and nontenure-track faculty is related to family responsibilities. Descriptive and multinomial logistic regression analyses are used to examine the research questions. Disciplines Education | Higher Education | Social and Cultural Anthropology Thi...
