Longitudinal K-sets analysis using lagged variables.

Catrien C. J. H. Bijleveld, Eeke Van der Burg (1993)

Qüestiió

Similarity:

We present an application of nonlinear Generalised Canonical Analysis (GCA) for analysing longitudinal data. The application uses lagged versions of variables to accomodate the time-dependence in the measurements. The usefulness of the proposed method is illustrated in an example from developmental psychology, in which we explore the relationship between mother and child dyadic interaction during the first six months after birth, demonstrating how child behaviour can elicit mother behaviour....

Distance-based regression in prediction of solar flare activity.

Anna Bartkowiak, Maria Jakimiec (1994)

Qüestiió

Similarity:

Short-term prediction of solar flare activity using multiple regression methods was considered. The variables describing active regions the given day were used to predict the flare activity on the next day. Two groups of observational data covering the years 1988 and 1989 were dealt with. Some variants of the distance-based regression as proposed by Cuadras and Arenas (1990) appeared to be superior to the ordinary least squares method by describing more accurately the data sets under...

Correspondence analysis and two-way clustering.

Antonio Ciampi, Ana González Marcos, Manuel Castejón Limas (2005)

SORT

Similarity:

Correspondence analysis followed by clustering of both rows and columns of a data matrix is proposed as an approach to two-way clustering. The novelty of this contribution consists of: i) proposing a simple method for the selecting of the number of axes; ii) visualizing the data matrix as is done in micro-array analysis; iii) enhancing this representation by emphasizing those variables and those individuals which are 'well represented' in the subspace of the chosen axes. The approach...

Profile analysis of mothers susceptible to contaminant exposure in the Algarve region: Application of the HJ-BIPLOT method

A. Serafim, R. Company, B. Lopes, N. Silva, E. Castela, M.J. Bebianno, G. Castela (2012)

Biometrical Letters

Similarity:

The HJ-BIPLOT method developed by Galindo (1986) was applied in order to identify and categorize mothers vulnerable to environmental contamination in the Algarve region (South Portugal). The application of the BIPLOT method made it possible to recognize the most important exposure routes for contamination, showing that workplace, diet and smoking habits seem the most significant factors contributing to maternal and foetal exposure vulnerability

Comparison of Multivariate Analysis Methodologies in a Palliative Care Setting

Isabel Pinto Doria, Ana Sousa Ferreira, Otília Dias, Helena Bacelar-Nicolau, Georges Le Calvé (2012)

Biometrical Letters

Similarity:

This study is focused on measuring the quality and the satisfaction with the palliative care provided to oncology patients in domicile. The SERVQUAL methodology adapted for the Portuguese context was used to evaluate the quality of palliative care and patient satisfaction. The Portuguese SERVQUAL questionnaire is composed of five perception scales and two questionnaires, one about the patient and another about the caregiver. The data analysis presented is the analysis of the answers...
