In order to clearly determine the viability of rural development in Afghanistan's Paktika province, information on land use planning that locals may provide is collected. Spatial crucial for province Paktika's development. Effective spatial enables entities including national and state governments, business developers, communities, people avoid duplication effort. The structural basic improveme...

Ecotourism development planning is a multi-criteria process that generally requires spatial analysis. GISimos MCDA model developed by this study, was presented for the first time and applied to Kalecik sub-province of Ankara, Turkey determine suitable areas their suitability levels ecotourism development. The based on evaluation sub-factors representing topography, land cover, climate sociocult...

We present a unified approach to modelling dyadic relational data, namely that seen in social, biological and technological networks, without restriction to the binary format. The approach involves three principles: considering the marginal specification of any edge as the fundamental unit, embedding as much dependence as possible in latent structural forms, and using distributional forms that ...

Two popular approaches for relating correlated measurements of a non-Gaussian response variable to a set of predictors are to fit a marginal model using generalized estimating equations and to fit a generalized linear mixed model by introducing latent random variables. The first approach is effective for parameter estimation, but leaves one without a formal model for the data with which to asse...

In many experiments, not all explanatory variables can be controlled. When the units arise sequentially, different approaches may be used. The authors study a natural sequential procedure for “marginally restricted” D-optimal designs. They assume that one set of explanatory variables (x1) is observed sequentially, and that the experimenter responds by choosing an appropriate value of the explan...

We point out that a conventional construction placed upon observations of accreting black holes, in which their nonthermal X-ray spectra are produced by inverse comptonization in a coronal plasma, suggests that the plasma is marginally collisionless. Recent developments in plasma physics indicate that fast reconnection takes place only in collisionless plasmas. As has recently been suggested fo...
