Abstract A variety of methods and models have been proposed for the statistical analysis of disease excesses, yet rarely are these methods compared with respect to their ability to detect possible clusters.

This paper (preliminary study) deals with different types of business models applied to the sector of small and medium-size farms in the Czech Republic. The main objective was to identify and categorize activities undertaken by Czech farmers into homogeneous clusters and offer recommendations on possible business model modification. The research was based on data from the Farm Accountancy Data Network (hereafter F

Introduction. The principal internal factors of the economic security of regions are defined by principal component analysis and their correlation with respective indicators is determined. Four principal factors (components) of the economic security of regions are identified. Forecasting models for the economic security of regions of the national economy are constructed by regional cluster using the results of the study. The study is performed by data on main socio-economic indicators of 24 Ukrainian regions over 2008–2015 and by economic security clusters (classified as “good”, “sufficient” a

Abstract:
Proper selection of cluster count gives better clustering results in partition models. Partition clustering methods are very simple as well as efficient. Kmeans and its modified versions are very efficient cluster models and the results are very sensitive to the chosen K value. The partition clustering algorithms are more suitable in applications where the data are arranged in a uniform manner. This work aims to evaluate the importance of assigning cluster count value in order to improve the efficiency of partition clustering algorithms using two well known statistical methods, the Elbow metho

Abstract:
Researchers are frequently faced with the analysis of microarray data of a relatively large number of genes using a small number of tissue samples. We examine the application of two statistical methods for clustering such microarray expression data: EMMIX-GENE and GeneClust. EMMIX-GENE is a mixture-model based clustering approach, designed primarily to cluster tissue samples on the basis of the genes. GeneClust is an implementation of the gene shaving methodology, motivated by research to identify distinct sets of genes for which variation in expression could be related to a biological propert

The complexity of commercial aviation operations has grown substantially in recent years, together with a diversification of techniques for collecting and analyzing flight data. As a result, data-driven frameworks for enhancing flight safety have grown in popularity. Data-driven techniques offer efficient and repeatable exploration of patterns and anomalies in large datasets. Text-based flight safety data presents a unique challenge in its subjectivity, and relies on natural language processing tools to extract underlying trends from narratives.

The heterogeneity among children with learning disabilities still represents a barrier and a challenge in their conceptualization. Although a dimensional approach has been gaining support, the categorical approach is still the most adopted, as in the recent fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. The introduction of the single overarching diagnostic category of specific learning disorder (SLD) could underemphasize interindividual clinical differences regarding intracategory cognitive functioning and learning proficiency, according to current models of multip

Workload prediction in cloud systems is an important task to ensure maximum resource utilization. So, a cloud system requires efficient resource allocation to minimize the resource cost while maximizing the profit. One optimal strategy for efficient resource utilization is to timely allocate resources according to the need of applications. The important precondition of this strategy is obtaining future workload information in advance. The main focus of this analysis is to design and compare different forecasting models to predict future workload. This paper develops model through Adaptive Neur

The analysis focuses on TCs that achieve gale-force (17 m s−1) sustained winds. Objective criteria were established to define TC tracks once they reach gale force for both observed and detected TCs.

This article quantitatively explores social differentiation at the sub-national level (Chiredzi and Zvimba districts in Zimbabwe), through the use of the trimodal agrarian structure (TMAS) framework. It addresses the question of whether variables outlined in TMAS (land sizes, labor, and credit) stimulate social differentiation patterns across various settlement models, which emerged after Zimbabwe’s land reform program.
