Estimating hospital production functions through flexible regression models
The subject of discussion is health care production functions. The parametric two-factor Cobb–Douglas and transcendental logarithmic (translog) production functions are frequently used. However, empirical and theoretical work has often questioned the validity of the parametric Cobb–Douglas and translog as a model for the production of health care. The aim of this study is to propose a new flexi...
متن کاملEstimation of the Amount of Recombinant Protein A Secretion Using Fuzzy Regression
Abstract Background and purpose: Since protein A is considered an important protein from medical, medicinal, genetic engineering, and biotechnology point of view, the present study attempted to investigate and determine to what extent protein A is produced through regression, in addition to the production conditions of the protein. Thus, a figure was introduced as for the estimation of the a...
متن کاملEstimating Height and Diameter Growth of Some Street Trees in Urban Green Spaces
Estimating urban trees growth, especially tree height is very important in urban landscape management. The aim of the study was to predict of tree height base on tree diameter. To achieve this goal, 921 trees from five species were measured in five areas of Mashhad city in 2014. The evaluated trees were ash tree (Fraxinus species), plane tree (Platanus hybrida), white mulberry (Morus alba), ail...
متن کاملExploring the Use of Random Regression Models withLegendre Polynomials to Analyze Clutch Sizein Iranian Native Fowl
Random regression models (RRM) have become common for the analysis of longitudinal data or repeated records on individual over time. The goal of this paper was to explore the use of random regression models with orthogonal / Legendre polynomials (RRL) to analyze new repeated measures called clutch size (CS) as a meristic trait for Iranian native fowl. Legendre polynomial functions of increasing...
متن کاملEstimating the Time of a Step Change in Gamma Regression Profiles Using MLE Approach
Sometimes the quality of a process or product is described by a functional relationship between a response variable and one or more explanatory variables referred to as profile. In most researches in this area the response variable is assumed to be normally distributed; however, occasionally in certain applications, the normality assumption is violated. In these cases the Generalized Linear Mod...
