BACKGROUND Social participation is an integral part of everyday life in society; however, evidence about its association with health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in people with multiple sclerosis (MS) is lacking. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to explore whether social participation is associated with the Physical Component Summary of HRQoL (PCS) and Mental Component Summary of HRQoL (...

there are many real problems in which multiple responses should be optimized simultaneously by setting of process variables. one of the common approaches for optimization of multi-response problems is desirability function. in most real cases, there is a correlation structure between responses so ignoring the correlation may lead to mistake results. hence, in this paper a robust approach based ...

improvement of one trait on its own will affect the performance of other traits because ofgenotypic correlations between traits. index selection is one of the tools used by plant breedersto overcome this problem. the purpose of this paper is to evaluate selection indices developedfor improving grain yield in rice (oryza sativa l.). forty-nine rice genotypes were cultivated attonekabon rice rese...

Total square correlation (TSC) is a measure of mutual interference between users in a multiple access system. Here we find the minimum total squared correlation for an uplink cellular system with L transmit locations and B receiving base stations in white and colored noise. A collaborative scenario in which information from each base is centrally pooled and processed is considered. An iterative...

We review [4] a new method of performing Canonical Correlation Analysis with Artificial Neural Networks. We demonstrate its capability on a real data set where the results are compared with those achieved with standard statistical tools. In this paper, we extend the method by implementing a very precise set of constraints which allow multiple correlations to be found at once. We demonstrate the...
