Over the last few decades, various methods have been proposed for estimating prediction intervals in regression settings, including Bayesian methods, ensemble direct interval estimation and conformal methods. An important issue is calibration of these methods: generated should a predefined coverage level, without being overly conservative. In this work, we review above four classes from concept...

decision making on budgeting is one of the most important issues for executing managers. budgeting is a major tool for planning and control of projects. in public and non-profit organizations and institutions, estimating the costs and revenues plays an important role in receiving credit and budgeting. in this regard, in the present paper the case of isfahan municipality is considered. one of th...

due to the heterogeneous nature of granular soils and the involvement of many effective parameters in the geotechnical behavior of soil-foundation systems, the accurate prediction of shallow foundation settlements on cohesionless soils is a complex engineering problem. in this study, three new evolutionary-based techniques, including evolutionary polynomial regression (epr), classical genetic p...

this study was conducted to determine regression equations for the prediction metabolizable energy value corrected for zero nitrogen retention (amen) in 12 wheat cultivars (mahdavi, chamran, sabalan, sepahan, sivand, alamoot, sholeh, neishaboor, pishtaz, bahar, shiraz and shahpasand) cultured in alborz province of iran. chromic oxide marker bioassay was used to determine wheat cultivars nitroge...
