This paper introduces multiple instance regression, a variant of multiple regression in which each data point may be described by more than one vector of values for the independent variables. The goals of this work are to (1) understand the computational complexity of the multiple instance regression task and (2) develop an efficient algorithm that is superior to ordinary multiple regression wh...

in this paper, the quantitative structure activity-relationship (qsar) of the ccr2b receptor inhibitors was scrutinized. firstly, the molecular descriptors were calculated using the dragon package. then, the stepwise multiple linear regressions (sw-mlr) and the genetic algorithm multiple linear regressions (ga-mlr) variable selection methods were subsequently employed to select and implement th...

permeability prediction problem has been examined using several methods such as empirical formulas, regression analysis and intelligent systems especially neural networks and fuzzy logic. this study proposes an improved and novel model for predicting permeability from conventional well log data. the methodology is integration of empirical formulas, multiple regression and neuro-fuzzy in a commi...

ferulic acid (4-hydroxy-3-methoxycinnamic acid), an effective component of medical plant, is a phenolic acid with low toxicity that can be absorbed and easily metabolized in the human body. the solubility of ferulic acid (fa) is very low in aqueous solutions which can cause problem in preparation of pharmaceutical products, but it can easily be dissolved in oil/water interface of nano-emulsions...

a robust and reliable quantitative structure-property relationship (qspr) study was established to forecast the melting points (mps)  of a diverse and long set including 250 drug-like compounds. based on the calculated descriptors by dragon software package, to detect homogeneities and to split the whole dataset into training and test sets, a principal component analysis (pca) approach was used...

TO MINIMIZE the risk of disease due to diet, a number of dietary recommendations have been made. The U.S. National Cancer Institute (1987) and Research Council (1989), for instance, suggest that no more than 30% of the calories we consume consist of fat, and that no more than 10% of the calories we consume consist of simple carbohydrates (sugars). What follows is a project which allows students...
