3 In what predictive modelling situations would the AIC statistic be the most appropriate choice, and why? Akaike (1973) adopted the Kullback-Leibler definition of information, I(f;g) , as a natural measure of discrepancy, or asymmetrical distance, between a “true” model, f(y), and a proposed model, g(y|β), where β is a vector of parameters. Based on large-sample theory, Akaike derived an estimator for of the I(f;g) general form 〖AIC〗_m = -2 Ln (L_m ) + 2 〖.k〗_m where Lm is the sample log-likelihood

Smoking is established as a recognized cause of cancer, lung disease, coronary heart disease, and stroke(US Public Health Service,1964,Doll R 1976,1994, US Department of Health and Human Services,1989).it is considered to be the single most important avoidable cause of premature morbidity and mortality in the world. WHO has estimated that there are about 1100 million smokers worldwide; this represents about one-third of the global population aged over 15 years (WHO,1997). About 73% of these smokers

MVP Framework The MVP is derived from MVC software pattern, Pop and Altar 2014, that is useful for the structuring of user interfaces. The MVP design pattern separates the view from its presentation logic to allow each to be distinguished separately Qureshi and Sabir 2014, In MVP, the view goes on to become an ultra-thin component whose function is just to be able to offer a presentation to the user. The view captures and deals with the events increase by the user, though forwarding these directly

OFFENDER PROFILING According to the article, offender profiling is a technique for identifying the personality and behavioral features of an offender based on an analysis of he/she committed. There are two types of offender profiling: inductive and deductive profiling. Inductive profiling technique uses an offender profiling from what is known about other offenders (criminals). Deductive profiling deals with the criminal’s evidence relating to him/her. The aim of the research was to examine the utility

Imaging of musculoskeletal disorders began in the early 1900’s with the invention and utilization of radiography and fluoroscopic equipment (McKinnis, 2014). Evolutions in imaging now allow for clearer digital recorded images of fluoroscopy, radiographs, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (McKinnis, 2014). From the beginning, imaging has not been an isolated or sole diagnostic tool. The clinician’s expertise in the evaluation process, the comprehensive evaluation and assessment

problems, such as low performance, high false negative rate, low intelligent level. In this research work we compared effectiveness of decision tree method in Intrusion Detection System. We also compare the detection rate, false alarm rate for different types of attack. 1.0 Background Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are software or hardware designed to automatically monitor activities within a network of computers and identify any security issues . IDS have been around for at least 30 years

features, Retina Introduction Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) affects the diabetic patients. Generally diabetics are of three types Type I, II and III. The Type I diabetic is due to the genetic predisposition, Type II diabetic which usually affects the adults. This is owing to over weight of children beyond their age limit and Type III is seen only in pregnant women. The patients with Type I diabetics will only suffer from DR which influence the retina. This leads the way to damage of retina and finally blindness

*Short screening tool used to evaluate alcohol and drug use among adolescents and to help determine need for a more thorough assessment. *Can be self-administered and/or used in interview with patient *Part A has 13 questions that pertain to drug use history. *Part B has 14 questions that cover alcohol and drug use. *This tool is a combined revision of two other scales: the Adolescent Alcohol Involvement Scale (AAIS) by (Mayer & Filstead, 1979, Moberg, 1983) and the Adolescent Drug Involvement Scale

The problem to be addressed is the recognition of incarceration impacting adversely on some prisoners, while others cope relatively well with the stresses of confinement to a maximum security prison subculture. This topic will be analyzed using a quantitative approach. Since the publication of The Prison Community (Clemmer, 1940) virtually thousands of books and articles have been published on prison life and the adjustment of prisoners to their confinement. One article highlights this exact problem

A clear objective of this study has been demonstrated in the paper: To construct a new predictive model for vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC), which incorporates the factors that can only be obtained as the pregnancy progresses and compare the new model with a previous model that only have variables available at the first prenatal visit. In this study, authors stated that in a previous model is limited to the variables which are available at the first prenatal visit, and they want to know whether
