The parametric active contour models are widely used in computer vision and image processing. This paper reviews the research status of parametric active contour models in the past decade. The parametric active contour models have gained wide attention for a long time. First, the traditional snake and some typical modified models are introduced. Second, the parametric active contour models appl...

Background:Brucellosis or Malta fever is one of the most common zoonotic diseases in the world. In addition to causing human suffering and dire economic impact on animals, due to the high prevalence of Brucellosis in the western regions of Isfahan province, this study aimed to analyze effective factors in the time of Brucellosis diagnosis using parametric and semi-parametric mo...

There are three common types of regression models: parametric, semiparametric and nonparametric regression. The model should be used to fit the real data depends on how much information is available about form relationship between response variable explanatory variables, random error distribution that assumed. Researchers need familiar with each modeling approach requirements. In this paper, di...
