Network analysis is often focused on characterizing the dependencies between network relations and node-level attributes. Potential relationships are typically explored by modeling the network as a function of the nodal attributes or by modeling the attributes as a function of the network. These methods require specification of the exact nature of the association between the network and attribu...

many health studies were interested to find the association between multiple predictors with a dependent variable. the popular method to analyze these studies was multiple regressions that assumed the predictors were independent. while in practice some predictors may depend on each other and they could not be presented in a regression model simultaneously, as a result the appropriate models suc...

probabilistic approach of traffic assignment has been primarily developed to provide a more realistic and flexible theoretical framework to represent traveler’s route choice behavior in a transportation network. the problem of path overlapping in network modelling has been one of the main issues to be tackled. due to its flexible covariance structure, probit model can adequately address the pro...
