Exercise Behavior Patterns in Emerging Adulthood: An Exploration of Predictor Variables from Self-Determination Theory and Transtheoretical Model
<p>During the transition from childhood to adulthood, young people establish patterns of behavior and make lifestyle choices that affect both their current and future health (NCHS, 2010). Emerging adulthood – a new conception of development for the period from the late teens through the twenties – …

A Predictive Time-to-Event Modeling Approach with Longitudinal Measurements and Missing Data
… medical decision making to investigate how the predictor variables including repeated measurements of the same subjects are affecting the future time-to-event. Such a prediction problem is particularly more challenging due to the fact that the future values of predictor variables are unknown, …

An Analysis of Wind Power Plant Site Prospecting in the Central United States
… greenhouse gas emissions. Combining conventional predictor variables, such as wind strength and proximity to transmission lines, with nonconventional socioeconomic and demographic predictor variables, will result in improved identification of suitable counties for WPPs and therefore accelerate the …
