Diet models based on goal programming (GP) are valuable tools in designing diets that comply with nutritional, palatability and cost constraints. Results derived from GP models are usually very ...

In this problem, the optimal path is one that maximizes the expected utility, with the utility function being piecewise-linear and concave. Such a utility function can be used to approximate nonlinear ...

We demonstrate the implementation of a variety of non-linear models that are more appropriate for modeling plant growth than are the traditional, linear, models.Ecological inference is frequently ...

Indicator functions are constructed under the linear-quadratic parameterization for contrasts, and applied to the study of partial aliasing properties for three-level fractional factorial designs. An ...

You construct a generalized linear model by deciding on response and explanatory variables for your data and choosing an appropriate link function and response probability distribution. Some examples ...

In an example from Ries and Smith (1963), the choice of detergent brand (Brand= M or X) is related to three other categorical variables: the softness of the laundry water (Softness= soft, medium, or ...

In the examples, we will use SPICE notations for the sake of simplicity: 1 k = 10 3, 1 Meg = 10 6, 1 p = 10 -12, 1 n = 10 - 9,1 m = 10 - 3 and 1 u = 10 -6. The Voltage Output Is Divided by Two ...
