متن کاملComprehensive causal analysis of occupational accidents’ severity in the chemical industries; A field study based on feature selection and multiple linear regression techniques
Introduction: The causal analysis of occupational accidents’ severity in the chemical industries may improve safety design programs in these industries. This comprehensive study was implemented to analyze the factors affecting occupational accidents’ severity in the chemical industries. Methods and Materials: An analytical study was conducted in 22 chemical industries during 2016-2017. The stu...
متن کاملApplication of Genetic Algorithms for Pixel Selection in MIA-QSAR Studies on Anti-HIV HEPT Analogues for New Design Derivatives
Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) analysis has been carried out with a series of 107 anti-HIV HEPT compounds with antiviral activity, which was performed by chemometrics methods. Bi-dimensional images were used to calculate some pixels and multivariate image analysis was applied to QSAR modelling of the anti-HIV potential of HEPT analogues by means of multivariate calibration,...

متن کاملChapter 24 Causal Inference
A principal aim of many sciences is to model causal systems well enough to provide insight into their structures and mechanisms and to provide reliable predictions about the effects of policy interventions. To succeed in either of these aims, in general, one must specify a model at least approximately correctly. In the social and behavioral sciences, causal models are often described within any...
