the work exposure conditions such as dust concentration, exposure time, use of respiratory protection devices and smoking status are effective to cause pulmonary function disorder. the objective of this study was prediction of pulmonary disorders in workers exposed to silica dust using artificial neural networks and logistic regression. a sample of 117 out of 150 workers employed in the stone c...

this paper defines how a meta heuristic search engine called p.s.o can be used to maximize the objective function of a logistic regression model, describing the relationship between the response variable (product designs' score) and a set of explanatory variables (product design factors). at the first phase the processed data, classified and categorized, by kansie engineering is used as input t...

There is the work by Bridges et al (1999) on the key features of a constructive proof of the implicit function theorem, including some applications to physics and mechanics. For mixtures of logistic distributions such information is lacking, although a special instance of the implicit function theorem prevails therein. The theorem is needed to see that the ridgeline function, which carries info...
