A Model to Predict 24-Hour Urinary Creatinine Level Using Repeated Measurements
… of absorbed dosage of pesticides. Earlier models to predict 24-hour urinary creatinine used ordinary least squares regression and assumed that the subjects' observations were uncorrelated. However, many of these studies had repeated creatinine measurements for each of their subjects. …

Achieving literacy in sustainability : shifting the paradigm for construction management education
… The analysis of data led to the development of a model for curriculum design that can be used in conjunction with the professional body framework to promote literacy in sustainability. The validity of the model was evaluated using a simulation of the model in a small scale project and testing …

Optimal Design of Single Factor cDNA Microarray experiments and Mixed Models for Gene Expression Data
… on a large scale. E- and A-optimality of mixed designs was established for experiments with up to 26 different varieties and with the restriction that the number of arrays available is equal to the number of varieties. Because the IBD setting only allows for a single blocking factor …

On semiparametric regression and data mining
… with data mining applications including: model selection, missing value analysis, outliers and heteroscedastic noise. We focus on function estimation using penalised splines via mixed model methodology (Wahba 1990; Speed 1991; Ruppert et al. 2003). In dealing with the difficulties …

Melhor predição linear não viesada (BLUP) multicaracterística na seleção recorrente de plantas anuais
A metodologia BLUP, que é amplamente utilizada na avaliação genética animal e florestal também pode ser aplicada no melhoramento de culturas anuais. O objetivo deste estudo foi comparar a acurácia e a eficiência da seleção entre e dentro de famílias de meios-irmãos através da utilização do BLUP …
