The analysis is done through linear regression and based on the identification of factors on which electrical load growth depends. To determine the identification factors, areas are selected whose histories of load growth rate known and the load growth deciding factors are similar to those of the isolated area. The proposed analysis is applied to an isolated area of Bangladesh, called Swandip where a past history of electrical load demand is not available and also there is no possibility of connecting the area with the main land grid system.展开更多

By now, there have been various kinds of methods for vehicle traveling time prediction. But few consider both aspects of time and space. In this paper, a vehicle traveling time prediction method based on grey theory （GT） and linear regression analysis （LRA） is presented. In aspects of time, we use the history data sequence of bus speed on a certain road to predict the future bus speed on that road by GT. And in aspects of space, we calculate the traffic affecting factors between various roads by LRA. Using these factors we can predict the vehicle＇s speed at the lower road if the vehicle＇s speed at the current road is known. Finally we use time factor and space factor as the weighting factors of the two results predicted by GT and LRA respectively to find the final result, thus calculating the vehicle＇s traveling time. The method also considers such factors as dwell time, thus making the prediction more accurate.展开更多

Using the ^40Ar-^39Ar step-heating method, all of the fractions essentially yielded plateau ages ranging from 172.5 to 217.1 Ma. These scattered plateau ages might not have been obtained from pure diagenetic illites but from mixed clay minerals, although the samples were disaggregated using a gentle freeze-thaw cycle to free them of non-clay minerals. A regional thermal event, as suggested by several proxies, led to intensive iHitization as a distinct diagenetic process when the Yanshanian Movement triggered magmatism around the entire North China Block during the Jurassic to Cretaceous. Thermal illites formed during a short time period, whereas detrital illites came from various sources. The scattered plateau ages could have resulted from mixed degassing of thermal and detrital illites. Within one sample, the plateau ages decrease with the diminution of grain sizes, but it is difficult to extrapolate to the detrital-illite-free ages. Because the plateau age is a mixture of ages for thermal and detrital illites, this regression analysis studies the dependence of the plateau ages on the synthetic values of contents and ages of detrital illites instead of on the grain sizes. Comparing the samples to one another, the plateau ages show the same trend among the different grain sizes. Weighted by the contents and ages of detrital illites, linear regression analysis revealed the relationship between the plateau ages and the relative weight proportions. Based on iterated calculations, a thermal event age and a set of weight proportions were derived. The regressed thermal event age is 163.3±1.6 Ma, which coincides with regional thermal activities and links to gas accumulation.展开更多

The Air Quality Index (AQI), a widely adopted index by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), serves as a crucial metric for reporting site-specific air pollution levels. Accurately predicting air quality, as measured by the AQI, is essential for effective air pollution management. In this study, we aim to identify the most reliable regression model among linear discriminant analysis (LDA), quadratic discriminant analysis (QDA), logistic regression, and K-nearest neighbors (KNN). We conducted four different regression analyses using a machine learning approach to determine the model with the best performance. By employing the confusion matrix and error percentages, we selected the best-performing model, which yielded prediction error rates of 22%, 23%, 20%, and 27%, respectively, for LDA, QDA, logistic regression, and KNN models. The logistic regression model outperformed the other three statistical models in predicting AQI. Understanding these models' performance can help address an existing gap in air quality research and contribute to the integration of regression techniques in AQI studies, ultimately benefiting stakeholders like environmental regulators, healthcare professionals, urban planners, and researchers.展开更多

The wide variety makes the analysis tasks of a generic database a strenuous task in knowledge discovery. One approach is to summarize large datasets in such a way that the resulting summary dataset is of manageable size. Histogram has received significant attention as summarization/representative object for large database. But, it suffers from computational and space complexity. In this paper, we propose an idea to transform the histogram object into a Piecewise Linear Regression (PLR) line object and suggest that PLR objects can be less computational and storage intensive while compared to those of histograms. On the other hand to carry out a cluster analysis, we propose a distance measure for computing the distance between the PLR lines. Case study is presented based on the real data of online education system LMS. This demonstrates that PLR is a powerful knowledge representative for very large database.展开更多

It is well known that, in general, there is no closed form for the probability density function of stable distributions. However, under a Bayesian approach, the use of a latent or auxiliary random variable gives some simplification to obtain any posterior distribution when related to stable distributions. To show the usefulness of the computational aspects, the methodology is applied to two examples: one is related to a standard linear regression model with an explanatory variable and the other is related to a simulated data set assuming a 23 factorial experiment. Posterior summaries of interest are obtained using MCMC (Markov Chain Monte Carlo) methods and the OpenBugs software.展开更多

The results showed that photosynthesis rate, stomatal conductance, and transpiration rate were the most important leaf WUE parameters under drought condition. Based on the results of statistical analyses, principal component analysis could be the most suitable method to ascertain the relationship between leaf WUE and relative physiological traits. It is reasonable to assume that high leaf WUE wheat could be obtained by selecting breeding materials with high photosynthesis rate, low transpiration rate, and stomatal conductance under dry area.展开更多

Many traits of biological interest and/or economical importance in various species show binary phenotypic distributions (e.g., presence or absence). It has been shown that such a binary trait also can be analyzed with the simple linear regression, subject to virtually no loss in power compared to the generalized linear model analysis. Binary trait is a special case of a multiple categorical trait (e.g., low, medium or high). We propose a mechanism to decompose a multiple categorical trait into an array of correlated binary variables. The categorical trait turned multiple binary traits are analyzed with a multivariate linear regression method. Turning the problem of categorical trait mapping into that of multivariate mapping allows the exploration of pleiotropic effects of QTL for different categories. Efficiency of the method is verified through a series of simulation experiments.展开更多

The present research was conducted in the campus of Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra, Ranchi, India, which is predomi- nantly covered by Sal （Shorea robusta C. F. Gaertn）. Two methods of regression analysis was employed to determine the potential of remote sensing parameters with the AGB measured in the field such as linear regression analysis between the AGB and the individual bands, principal components （PCs） of the bands, vegetation indices （VI）, and the PCs of the VIs respectively and multiple linear regression （MLR） analysis be- tween the AGB and all the variables in each category of data. From the linear regression analysis, it was found that only the NDVI exhibited regression coefficient value above 0.80 with the remaining parameters showing very low values. On the other hand, the MLR based analysis revealed significantly improved results as evidenced by the occurrence of very high correlation coefficient values of greater than 0.90 determined between the computed AGB from the MLR equations and field-estimated AGB thereby ascertaining their superiority in providing reliable estimates of AGB. The highest correlation coefficient of 0.99 is found with the MLR involving PCs of VIs.展开更多

文摘Four samples from a Permian reservoir in the Ordos Basin of North China were separated into twelve fractions in grain sizes of 〈0.5, 0.5-1 and 1-2 μm. Using the ^40Ar-^39Ar step-heating method, all of the fractions essentially yielded plateau ages ranging from 172.5 to 217.1 Ma. These scattered plateau ages might not have been obtained from pure diagenetic illites but from mixed clay minerals, although the samples were disaggregated using a gentle freeze-thaw cycle to free them of non-clay minerals. A regional thermal event, as suggested by several proxies, led to intensive iHitization as a distinct diagenetic process when the Yanshanian Movement triggered magmatism around the entire North China Block during the Jurassic to Cretaceous. Thermal illites formed during a short time period, whereas detrital illites came from various sources. The scattered plateau ages could have resulted from mixed degassing of thermal and detrital illites. Within one sample, the plateau ages decrease with the diminution of grain sizes, but it is difficult to extrapolate to the detrital-illite-free ages. Because the plateau age is a mixture of ages for thermal and detrital illites, this regression analysis studies the dependence of the plateau ages on the synthetic values of contents and ages of detrital illites instead of on the grain sizes. Comparing the samples to one another, the plateau ages show the same trend among the different grain sizes. Weighted by the contents and ages of detrital illites, linear regression analysis revealed the relationship between the plateau ages and the relative weight proportions. Based on iterated calculations, a thermal event age and a set of weight proportions were derived. The regressed thermal event age is 163.3±1.6 Ma, which coincides with regional thermal activities and links to gas accumulation.

The results showed that photosynthesis rate, stomatal conductance, and transpiration rate were the most important leaf WUE parameters under drought condition. Based on the results of statistical analyses, principal component analysis could be the most suitable method to ascertain the relationship between leaf WUE and relative physiological traits. It is reasonable to assume that high leaf WUE wheat could be obtained by selecting breeding materials with high photosynthesis rate, low transpiration rate, and stomatal conductance under dry area.

文摘This research talks about the radiator cooling system of the automobile engine,the radiator’ s fluidstructure interaction dynamics based on computational fluid dynamics( CFD) STAR-CCM+ software. The linear regression model of coolant determined by MATLAB software was imported into the user-defined field function of the software,using the standard K-Epsilon turbulence model to analyze temperature,pressure and velocity changes of the coolant in the radiator channel. In order to improve the efficiency of the radiator,it is necessary to analyze the structure of two kinds of heat sinks,and get better heat transfer effect.
文摘Observed rainfall is a very essential parameter for the analysis of rainfall,day to day weather forecast and its validation.The observed rainfall data is only available from five observatories of IMD;while no rainfall data is available at various important locations in and around Delhi-NCR.However,the 24-hour rainfall data observed by Doppler Weather Radar(DWR)for entire Delhi and surrounding region(up to 150 km)is readily available in a pictorial form.In this paper,efforts have been made to derive/estimate the rainfall at desired locations using DWR hydrological products.Firstly,the rainfall at desired locations has been estimated from the precipitation accumulation product(PAC)of the DWR using image processing in Python language.After this,a linear regression model using the least square method has been developed in R language.Estimated and observed rainfall data of year 2018(July,August and September)was used to train the model.After this,the model was tested on rainfall data of year 2019(July,August and September)and validated.With the use of linear regression model,the error in mean rainfall estimation reduced by 46.58% and the error in max rainfall estimation reduced by 84.53% for the year 2019.The error in mean rainfall estimation reduced by 81.36% and the error in max rainfall estimation reduced by 33.81%for the year 2018.Thus,the rainfall can be estimated with a fair degree of accuracy at desired locations within the range of the Doppler Weather Radar using the radar rainfall products and the developed linear regression model.

文摘Simple linear regression analysis has been used to map QTL for quantitative traits. Many traits of biological interest and/or economical importance in various species show binary phenotypic distributions (e.g., presence or absence). It has been shown that such a binary trait also can be analyzed with the simple linear regression, subject to virtually no loss in power compared to the generalized linear model analysis. Binary trait is a special case of a multiple categorical trait (e.g., low, medium or high). We propose a mechanism to decompose a multiple categorical trait into an array of correlated binary variables. The categorical trait turned multiple binary traits are analyzed with a multivariate linear regression method. Turning the problem of categorical trait mapping into that of multivariate mapping allows the exploration of pleiotropic effects of QTL for different categories. Efficiency of the method is verified through a series of simulation experiments.
文摘Spatio-temporal assessment of the above ground biomass （AGB） is a cumbersome task due to the difficulties associated with the measurement of different tree parameters such as girth at breast height and height of trees. The present research was conducted in the campus of Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra, Ranchi, India, which is predomi- nantly covered by Sal （Shorea robusta C. F. Gaertn）. Two methods of regression analysis was employed to determine the potential of remote sensing parameters with the AGB measured in the field such as linear regression analysis between the AGB and the individual bands, principal components （PCs） of the bands, vegetation indices （VI）, and the PCs of the VIs respectively and multiple linear regression （MLR） analysis be- tween the AGB and all the variables in each category of data. From the linear regression analysis, it was found that only the NDVI exhibited regression coefficient value above 0.80 with the remaining parameters showing very low values. On the other hand, the MLR based analysis revealed significantly improved results as evidenced by the occurrence of very high correlation coefficient values of greater than 0.90 determined between the computed AGB from the MLR equations and field-estimated AGB thereby ascertaining their superiority in providing reliable estimates of AGB. The highest correlation coefficient of 0.99 is found with the MLR involving PCs of VIs.
