An application of principal component analysis and logistic regression to facilitate production scheduling decision support system: An automotive industry case

Mehrjoo, Saeed; Bashiri, Mahdi - In: Journal of Industrial Engineering International 9 (2013), pp. 1-12

Production planning and control (PPC) systems have to deal with rising complexity and dynamics. The complexity of planning tasks is due to some existing multiple variables and dynamic factors derived from uncertainties surrounding the PPC. Although literatures on exact scheduling algorithms,...

International migration desires related to subjective well-being

Cai, Ruohong; Esipova, Neli; Oppenheimer, Michael; … - In: IZA Journal of Migration 3 (2014), pp. 1-20

Previous research on the determinants of international migration has largely focused on objective factors, such as income. We instead use subjective well-being (SWB) to explain international migration desires, an expressed willingness to migrate. We find that individuals with higher SWB have...

Determinants of fortified wine consumption in Russia: Evidence from a national sample of the Russian Population

Yormirzoev, Mirzobobo - In: Wine Economics and Policy 5 (2016) 1, pp. 42-49

In this article we examine factors affecting fortified wine consumption in Russia by utilizing micro-level data from the Russian Longitudinal Monitoring Survey (RLMS). A model with limited dependent variables has been applied to the study. Our analysis shows that Russian males demonstrate a...

Does Innovation Matter for SMEs' growth in Croatia?

Šarlija, Nataša; Bilandžić, Ana - 2018

Small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) account for about 99% of all enterprises in Croatia as well as in the EU economy. In most industries, SMEs attribute for much of the capital stock, employment, and a significant fraction of innovations. Among all SMEs, those that are growth oriented make...

Variable selection and discrimination in gene expression data by genetic algorithms

Krause, Rüdiger; Tutz, Gerhard - 2004

Gene expression datasets usually have thousends of explanatory variables which are observed on only few samples. Generally most variables of a dataset have no effect and one is interested in eliminating these irrelevant variables. In order to obtain a subset of relevant variables an appropriate...

Regularized (bridge) logistic regression for variable selection based on ROC criterion

Tian, GL; Fang, HB; Liu, Z; Tan, MT - 2009

It is well known that the bridge regression (with tuning parameter less or equal to 1) gives asymptotically unbiased estimates of the nonzero regression parameters while shrinking smaller regression parameters to zero to achieve variable selection. Despite advances in the last several decades in...

Semiparametric Bayesian Analysis of Case–Control Data under Conditional Gene-Environment Independence

Mukherjee, Bhramar; Zhang, Li; Ghosh, Malay; Sinha, Samiran - 2007

In case–control studies of gene-environment association with disease, when genetic and environmental exposures can be assumed to be independent in the underlying population, one may exploit the independence in order to derive more efficient estimation techniques than the traditional logistic...
