A new variable selection wrapper method named the Monte Carlo variable selection (MCVS) method was developed utilizing the framework of the Monte Carlo cross-validation (MCCV) approach. The MCVS method reports the variable selection results in the most conventional and common measure of statistical hypothesis testing, the P-values, thus allowing for a clear and simple statistical interpretation...

In the present work, the support vector machine (SVM) and Adaboost-SVM have been used to develop a classification model as a potential screening mechanism for a novel series of 5-HT(1A) selective ligands. Each compound is represented by calculated structural descriptors that encode topological features. The particle swarm optimization (PSO) and the stepwise multiple linear regression (Stepwise-...

Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) is one of the most distinguished parameters in endurance sports and plays an important role, for instance, in predicting endurance performance. Different models have been used to estimate VO2max or performance based on VO2max. These models can use linear or nonlinear approaches for modeling endurance performance. The aim of this study was to estimate VO2max in hea...

BACKGROUND Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) was carried out to study a series of aminooxadiazoles as PIM1 inhibitors having pki ranging from 5.59 to 9.62 (k i in nM). The present study was performed using Genetic Algorithm method of variable selection (GFA), multiple linear regression analysis (MLR) and non-linear multiple regression analysis (MNLR) to build unambiguous QSAR ...

Dynamic respiratory system mechanics can be determined using multiple linear regression (MLR) analysis. There is no need for a particular ventilator setting or for a special ventilatory manoeuvre. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether or not different ventilator modes and the flow-dependent resistance of the endotracheal tube (ETT) influence the determination of resistance and co...

The aim of this study was to determine the probability of working days (PWD) for tillage operation using weather data with Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) and Radial Basis Function (RBF) artificial networks. In both models, seven variables were considered as input parameters, namely minimum, average and maximum temperature, relative humidity, rainfall, wind speed, and evaporation on a daily ba...

Cilnidipine is a 1,4-dihydropyridine derived L/N-type calcium channel dual blocker possessing neuroprotective and analgesic effects which are related to its N-type calcium channel inhibitory activity. Calcium channel blockers are widely used for the treatment of various cardiac disorders. The existing calcium channel blockers have several short comings; hence there is a need to develop better d...

This paper presents a classification-driven biomedical image retrieval approach by combining multiple visual and text features with a multi-response linear regression (MLR)-based meta-learner. Feature descriptors at different levels of image representation are often in diverse forms and complementary in nature. For modality detection of medical images, the MLR has been proposed as a trainable c...
