The majority of previous studies have used logistic regression analysis(LRA) as an analysis tool to evaluate the impact of service attributes on customer satisfaction and post-purchase behavior. However, LRA assumes that a linear relation exists between the input and output variables, and that variables are normally distributed, which places significant limitations on the analysis. This study u...

For example, in conjunction with algorithms which check forwards, the Fail-First (FF) and Brelaz (Bz) heuristics are cheap to evaluate and are generally considered to be very eeective. Recent work to understand phase transitions in NP-complete problem classes enables us t...
