Partial least square (PLS) analysis is the most favourite tool in chemometrics to develop calibration models. PLS technique allows us decipher even complex systems by analysing all variables instead of looking at them one a time. not only capture maximum variation associated with predictor (i.e. spectra) and predicted concentration) but also maximises correlation between them. The present artic...

The Least Mean Square (LMS) algorithm, introduced by Widrow and Hoff in 1959 [12] is an adaptive algorithm, which uses a gradient-based method of steepest decent [10]. LMS algorithm uses the estimates of the gradient vector from the available data. LMS incorporates an iterative procedure that makes successive corrections to the weight vector in the direction of the negative of the gradient vect...

Agricultural extension workers’ service has been placed as the central pattern of agricultural transformation in general and smallholder farmers in particular. Due largely to this commensurately known trend, identifying factors that determine farmers’ access to extension workers’ service and the effect of the service on crop yield was found to be imperative. Cross sectional data was collected t...

This study evaluated the effect of bank consolidation on economic growth of Nigeria between the periods of 2006-2015. Secondary data were sourced from the Central Bank of Nigeria statistical bulletin and the NDIC Annual Reports between the period of 2006 and 2015. Data was analyzed using the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) multiple regression technique with the aid of the SPSS statistical software ...

The purpose of this research is to examine whether outcome controls of group work (i.e. time pressure and reward), trust, and motivation affect shared leadership in virtual teams. In addition, we explore the relationship between shared leadership and information sharing effectiveness in these teams. Results of a laboratory experiment on collaboration technology-based virtual teams indicate that...

Education is an important factor that can affect the development of a country and basic human need. To ensure continuous progress education, it necessary to pay attention results achievements education in Indonesia. In this research model, Partial Least Square Path Modeling (PLS PM) used explain relationship between outcomes quality dimensions provincial However, because there heterogeneity pop...

localizing the optic disc (od) in retinal fundus images is of critical importance, since it is very similar to hard exudates (found in pathology) in color and brightness. because of the importance of od localization in clinical applications, many techniques have been developed. in this paper, we present the results obtained from two methods, correlation and least square, to approximate the opti...
