Multiple correspondence analysis in predictive logistic modelling: Application to a living-donor kidney transplantation data
- Renan Moritz Varnier R. Almeida,
- Antonio Fernando C. Infantosi,
- José Hermógenes R. Suassuna,
- João Carlos G. D. Costa
Computer Methods and Programs in Biomedicine (CBIO), Volume 95, Issue 2Pages 116–128https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cmpb.2009.02.003This work deals with the use of multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) and a weighted Euclidean distance (the tolerance distance) as an exploratory tool in developing predictive logistic models. The method was applied to a living-donor kidney transplant ...

The impact of divorce precedents on the Japanese divorce rate
Mathematics and Computers in Simulation (MCSC), Volume 79, Issue 9Pages 2917–2926https://doi.org/10.1016/j.matcom.2008.10.002This paper undertakes a time series analysis of the Japanese divorce rate using annual data over the period 1964-2006. One of the key innovations of the paper is to use court decisions on divorce disputes to construct an index that seeks to measure how ...

Computer Methods and Programs in Biomedicine (CBIO), Volume 90, Issue 3Pages 217–229https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cmpb.2008.01.005This work introduces a heuristic index (the ''tolerance distance'') to define the ''closeness'' of two variable categories in multiple correspondence analysis (MCA). This index is a weighted Euclidean distance where weightings are based on the ''...

Computational Economics (KLU-CSEM), Volume 31, Issue 4Pages 363–380https://doi.org/10.1007/s10614-007-9121-3Forecasting the performance of products undergoing rapid technological change requires data and the knowledge to interpret that data. We surveyed students about one such product--digital cameras--and found that they lacked knowledge to interpret the ...

A neural network model of Parkinson's disease bradykinesia
Parkinson's disease (PD) is caused by dopamine (DA) depletion consequent to cell degeneration in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) and the ventral tegmental area (VTA). Although computational analyses of PD have focused on DA depletion in DA-...
