Modelling forestation alternatives

Modelling Methods for Evaluating Alternatives

Forestation in Hypergraphs: Linear k-Trees

We present a new proof of a result of Lovász on the maximum number of edges in a k-forest. We also apply a construction used in our proof to generalize the notions of a k-hypertree and k-forest to a class which extends some properties of trees, to which both specialize when k=2.

Modelling Alternatives for Cycle Approximate Bus TLMs

Transaction level models (TLMs) can be constructed at different levels of abstraction, denoted as untimed (UT), cycle-approximate (CX), and cycle accurate (CA) in this paper. The choice of a level has an impact on simulation accuracy and performance and makes a level suitable for specific use cases, e.g. virtual prototyping, architectural exploration, and verification. Whereas the untimed and c...

Outcome modelling strategies in epidemiology: traditional methods and basic alternatives

Controlling for too many potential confounders can lead to or aggravate problems of data sparsity or multicollinearity, particularly when the number of covariates is large in relation to the study size. As a result, methods to reduce the number of modelled covariates are often deployed. We review several traditional modelling strategies, including stepwise regression and the 'change-in-estimate...
