Tree-structured smooth transition models
(Escola de Pós-Graduação em Economia da FGV, 2005-11-03)
The goal of this paper is to introduce a class of tree-structured models that combines aspects of regression trees and smooth transition regression models. The model is called the Smooth Transition Regression Tree (STR-Tree). ...
Three-Dimensional Imaging and Analysis of Electrical Trees
(2014)
Electrical trees are micrometre-size tubular channels of degradation in high voltage polymeric insulation, a precursor to failure of electrical power plant. Hence, electrical trees critically affect the reliability of power ...
Evolutionary model trees for handling continuous classes in machine learning
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2011)
Model trees are a particular case of decision trees employed to solve regression problems. They have the advantage of presenting an interpretable output, helping the end-user to get more confidence in the prediction and ...
Foraging Behaviour in Magellanic Woodpeckers Is Consistent with a Multi-Scale Assessment of Tree Quality
(Public Library Science, 2016)
Theoretical models predict that animals should make foraging decisions after assessing the quality of available habitat, but most models fail to consider the spatio-temporal scales at which animals perceive habitat ...
Predicting Student Performance in Higher Education Institutions Using Decision Tree Analysis
The overall success of educational institutions can be measured by the success of its students. Providing factors that increase success rate and reduce the failure of students is profoundly helpful to educational organizations. ...
Surviving fully Bayesian nonparametric regression models
(Oxford University Press, 2013)
This chapter compares two Bayesian nonparametric models that generalize the accelerated failure time model, based on recent work on probability models for predictor-dependent probability distributions. It begins by reviewing ...
Evolutionary model trees for handling continuous classes in machine learning
(Elsevier B.V., 2011-03-01)
Model trees are a particular case of decision trees employed to solve regression problems. They have the advantage of presenting an interpretable output, helping the end-user to get more confidence in the prediction and ...
A Method of the Coverage Ratio of Street Trees Based on Deep Learning
The street trees coverage ratio provides reliable data support for urban ecological environment assessment, which plays an important part in the ecological environment index calculation. Aiming at the statistical estimation ...
COMPETITION AMONG EUCALYPTUS TREES DEPENDS ON GENETIC VARIATION AND RESOURCE SUPPLY
(ECOLOGICAL SOC AMER, 2008)
Genetic variation and environmental heterogeneity fundamentally shape the interactions between plants of the same species. According to the resource partitioning hypothesis, competition between neighbors intensifies as ...
An approach to urban tree daylight permeability simulation using models based on louvers
(Elsevier, 2014-02)
In oasis cities urban forestation shades the lower level facades of buildings. It is thus crucial to analyze the distributional patterns of sun radiation produced by trees on facades. Nevertheless, the complexity of the ...
