Many real-world problems feature nonlinear dynamic processes. Classical mathematical models may be adequate to describe a single dynamic process in isolation, but can be easily undermined by two natural and simple kinds of phenomenological variations: the emergence (or activation) of an additional dynamic process, and…

Background Machine learning approaches have become increasingly popular modeling techniques, relying on data-driven heuristics to arrive at its solutions. Recent comparisons between these algorithms and traditional statistical modeling techniques have largely ignored the superiority gained by the former approaches due…

'Bonizella Biagioli' 'Pierpaolo Giomarelli' 'Paolo Barbini'] Background Different methods have recently been proposed for predicting morbidity in intensive care units (ICU). The aim of the present study was to critically review a number of approaches for developing models capable of estimating the probability of…

Corporate Bankruptcy impacts the functioning of the economy adversely as it impacts the shareholders, financial lenders, operational lenders and government, thus making it pertinent to be able to predict when would a firm's performance deteriorate to a level where it has a high potential of filing for bankruptcy. This…

This paper reviews several common challenges encountered in statistical analyses of epidemiological data for epidemiologists. We focus on the application of linear regression, multivariate logistic regression, and log-linear modeling to epidemiological data. Specific topics include: (a) deletion of outliers, (b)…

In this work, we study the use of logistic regression in manufacturing failures detection. As a data set for the analysis, we used the data from Kaggle competition "Bosch Production Line Performance". We considered the use of machine learning, linear and Bayesian models. For machine learning approach, we analyzed…

Railway accidents, particularly suicides and suicide attempts, significantly disrupt operations, cause delays in passenger and freight services, and result in varying degrees of infrastructure damage. This study focuses on identifying the relationship between suicide-related railway incidents, as the most frequent type…

The latest population estimates released by Statistics South Africa indicate that 25.03% of all deaths in 2017 in South Africa were AIDS-related. Along with these results, it is also reported that 7.06% of the population were living with HIV, with the HIV-prevalence among youth (aged 15-24) at 4.64% for 2017 (STATSSA.…

The logistic regression model is one of the most powerful statistical methods for analysis of binary data. The logistic regression allows to use a set of covariates to explain the binary responses. The mixture of logistic regression models is used to fit heterogeneous populations through an unsupervised learning…

In microbiology, the estimation of the growth rate of microorganisms is a critical parameter to describe a new strain or characterize optimal growth conditions. Traditionally, this parameter is estimated by selecting subjectively the exponential phase of the growth, and then determining the slope of this curve section…

'Vasilis Gialamas' 'Joannes Chliaoutakis' 'Ching-Wei Wang'] The extensive use of logistic regression models in analytical epidemiology as well as in randomized clinical trials, often creates inflated estimates of the relative risk (RR). Particularly, in cases where a binary outcome has a high or moderate incidence in…

This paper concerns a method of selecting a subset of features for a sequential logit model. Tanaka and Nakagawa (2014) proposed a mixed integer quadratic optimization formulation for solving the problem based on a quadratic approximation of the logistic loss function. However, since there is a significant gap between…

We propose a new algorithm called PLUTO for building logistic regression trees to binary response data. PLUTO can capture the nonlinear and interaction patterns in messy data by recursively partitioning the sample space. It fits a simple or a multiple linear logistic regression model in each partition. PLUTO employs…

Several generalizations of the logistic distribution, and certain related models, are proposed by many authors for modeling various random phenomena such as those encountered in data engineering, pattern recognition, and reliability assessment studies. A generalized q-logistic distribution is discussed here in the…

Diabetes mellitus is a growing problem, especially in developing countries. People suffering from diabetes have an increased risk of developing a number of serious health problems. Consistently high blood glucose levels can lead to serious diseases affecting the heart and blood vessels, eyes, kidney, etc. In addition…

Class imbalance, where there are great differences between the number of observations associated with particular discrete outcomes, is common within transportation and other fields. In the statistics literature, one explanation for class imbalance that has been hypothesized is an asymmetric (rather than the typically…

Mining large datasets using machine learning approaches often leads to models that are hard to interpret and not amenable to the generation of hypotheses that can be experimentally tested. Finding ‘actionable knowledge’ is becoming more important, but also more challenging as datasets grow in size and complexity. We…

Generalized linear regressions, such as logistic regressions or Poisson regressions, are long-studied regression analysis approaches, and their applications are widely employed in various classification problems. Our study considers a stochastic generalized linear regression model as a stochastic problem with chance…

Sigmoid growth models, such as the logistic, Gompertz and Richards’ models, are widely used to study population dynamics ranging from microscopic populations of cancer cells, to continental-scale human populations. Fundamental questions about model selection and parameter estimation are critical if these models are to…

High-performance batteries are poised for electrification of vehicles and therefore mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, which, in turn, promote a sustainable future. However, the design of optimized batteries is challenging due to the nonlinear governing physics and electrochemistry. Recent advancements have…
