Microsoft Excel is a versatile software program that allows you to create a variety of documents, images and charts. Create a linear scale in Excel to display the measurements of a map, drawing or ...
Generalized linear models are widely used by data analysts. However, the choice of the link function is often made arbitrarily. Here we permit the data to estimate the link function by incorporating ...
This article describes three approximation methods I used to solve the growth model (Model 1) studied by the National Bureau of Economic Research's nonlinear rational-expectations-modeling group ...
A standard digital camera used in a car for stuff like emergency braking has a perceptual latency of a hair above 20 milliseconds. That’s just the time needed for a camera to transform the photons ...
Launching things with electromagnetism is pretty fun, with linear induction motors being a popular design that finds use from everywhere in hobby designs like [Tom Stanton]’s to the electromagnetic ...
When thermal simulation software isn't available, or for quicker results, designers can apply linear superposition to model the thermal performance of their power systems. This article is the first in ...
Modeling a railroad is hard. Railroads are large, linear pieces of civil engineering. So many modelers are drawn to the smallest scale they can use. Recently a new scale, named T, at 1:450 has been ...
Model building via linear regression models. Method of least squares, theory and practice. Checking for adequacy of a model, examination of residuals, checking outliers. Practical hand on experience ...
