متن کاملSki injury predictive analytics from massive ski lift transportation data
Ski injury research is traditionally studied on small-scale observational studies where risk factors from univariate and multivariate statistical models are extracted. In this article, a large-scale ski injury observational study was conducted by analyzing skier transportation data from six consecutive seasons. Logistic regression and chi-square automatic interaction detection decision tree mod...
