In certain statistical process control applications, quality of a process or product can be characterized by a function between response variable and one or more independent variables. This function commonly referred to as profile. Response variable can be continuous or discrete. All of the research assumes that the response variable is continuous. Whereas, some of the potential applications of...

Background & Objective: Mixed outcomes arise when, in a multivariate model, response variables measured on different scales such as binary and continuous. Artificial neural networks (ANN) can be used for modeling in situations where classic models have restricted application when some of their assumptions are not met. In this paper, we propose a method based on ANNs for modeling mixed binary a...
