The present paper attempts to investigate the prediction of air entrainment rate and aeration efficiency of a free overfall jets issuing from a triangular sharp crested weir by using regression based modelling. The empirical equations, Support vector machine (polynomial and radial basis function) models and the linear regression techniques were applied on the triangular sharp crested weirs rela...

The principle of self-consistency has been employed to estimate regression quantile with randomly censored response. It has been of great interest to study how the self-consistent estimation of censored regression quantiles is connected to the alternative martingale-based approach. In this talk, I will first present a new formulation of self-consistent censored regression quantiles based on sto...

Using heat shield, especially in throat area has a significant effect on combustion chamber pressure and thermal efficiency of solid fuel engines. Precise prediction of the regression of throat area for different pressures, will lead to optimal design of the motors, specifically for those of long burnout times. In this work, erosion of graphite nozzles employed in solid propellant motors with a...

Modified Poisson regression, which combines a log Poisson regression model with robust variance estimation, is a useful alternative to log binomial regression for estimating relative risks. Previous studies have shown both analytically and by simulation that modified Poisson regression is appropriate for independent prospective data. This method is often applied to clustered prospective data, d...

It is standardpractice to use log-linear and log-log regression models in the analysis of workers compensation claim costs. While useful for the investigation of-proportional cost relationships, those transformed models are not well suited for predicting individual or even average claim costs. There is, however, enormous potential for using regression equations as a computational device for gen...
