There are two broad classes of approaches to mitigate treatment selection bias based on confounding variables and instrumental variables (IVs). Briefly, confounder approaches aim to “adjust” for all factors that both explain treatment assignment and the outcome. In contrast, IVs determine only the ...
SVM finds the optimal hyperplanes that are relatively close to opposing classes (i.e., wet and dry leaves) and utilizes the neighboring training data to refine the decision boundaries for model classification (Kecman, 2005). SVM classifiers perform well when explanatory features create a distinct ...
2019a). The priorities recorded for the different groups contrasted for the different forest management modalities, spatial distance from forests and economic classes. Overall, the four top ranking FES (two regulating and two cultural services) for all sub-groups were flood control, water quality ...

The researchers proposed to fill this information gap by estimating the impact鈥攎orbidity, mortality, and demands on health care services鈥攐f antibiotic resistance in Europe for two types of resistant organisms that are typically associated with resistance to multiple classes of antibiotics and can ...
There are two broad classes of approaches for these purposes: use of confounders and instrumental variables (IVs). Because such approaches are largely characterized by untestable assumptions, analysts must operate under an indefinite paradigm that these methods will work imperfectly. In this tutorial, ...
photovoltaic potential evaluation; building facade; windows; roof; solar energy; Industry Foundation Classes; building information modeling1. Introduction The development of solar energy technology has become a research focus around the world [1,2]. Photovoltaic energy generation is an effective way to ...
The response of sap-velocity to decreasing VWC into the late growing season is uncertain, but we might expect a different response due to the difference in soil properties between calibration and validation sites (e.g., sandy loam versus loam textural classes and differences in soil organic ...
The Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) model is a macroscale land surface model that uses a mosaic scheme to represent the land cover classes within a grid cell. By solving the full energy and water balances, this model simulates land–atmospheric fluxes for each grid independently. Key feature...
