We propose the elastic net, a new regression shrinkage and selection method. Real data and a simulation study show that the elastic net often outperforms the lasso, while it enjoys a similar sparsity of representation. In addition, the elastic net encourages a grouping effect, where strong correlated predictors are kept in the model. The elastic net is particularly useful in the analysis of mic...

The Ligament Augmentation and Reconstruction System (LARS) is a prosthetic device used to support knee ligaments severed due injury. role of LARS in supporting the take over position natural that have been severed, binding thigh bone shin bone. made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) material, commonly industry. product widely heal ligament injuries. However, despite its everyday use, no one...

Zusammenfassung Ziel dieses Beitrags ist, das Potenzial ausgewählter, im LArS-Projekt entwickelter Lehr-/Lernmodule für den Einsatz in demokratiepädagogischen Anteilen der bildungswissenschaftlichen Lehrkräftebildung aufzuzeigen. Die LArS-Materialien bieten aus diesem Blickwinkel viele Möglichkeiten zur zielgerechten Adaption. Nach einer theoretischen Einordnung des demokratiebildenden Potenzia...

‎in this paper‎, ‎an approach based on statistical spline model (ssm) and collocation method is proposed to solve volterra-fredholm integral equations‎. ‎the set of collocation nodes is chosen so that the points yield minimal error in the nodal polynomials‎. ‎under some standard assumptions‎, ‎we establish the convergence property of this approach‎. ‎numerical results on some problems are given...

. introduction global warming and its result, climate change is an important subject investigated especially in the recent decades by researchers throughout the world. in these studies, at first, climatic parameters changes are investigated. considering many uncertainties in the parameters estimation, it is better to choose a method in order to study and analyze the uncertainty band due to diff...
