Classification of Smoking Cessation Status Using Various Data Mining Methods
AMS Subj. Classification: 62P10, 62H30, 68T01This study examines different approaches of binary classification applied to the prob- lem of making distinction between former and current smokers. Prediction is based on data collected in national survey performed by the National center for health statistics of America in 2000. The process consists of two essential parts. The first one determines which attributes are relevant to smokers status, by using methods like basic genetic algorithm and different evaluation...
Components of the game result in a football league
We assume that the result of a football game depends upon the difference of the strengths of the teams, home-field advantage, random factors and also other components. We describe the goal outcome per game by independent Poisson random variables; we concentrate on expected values. The least squares estimators of the parameters are obtained. The study is illustrated by examples from the Italian and Polish leagues.

Copula-based grouped risk aggregation under mixed operation
This paper deals with the problem of risk measurement under mixed operation. For this purpose, we divide the basic risks into several groups based on the actual situation. First, we calculate the bounds for the subsum of every group of basic risks, then we obtain the bounds for the total sum of all the basic risks. For the dependency relationships between the basic risks in every group and all of the subsums, we give different copulas to describe them. The bounds for the aggregated risk under mixed...
