Prediction modelling of pallet overhang on box compression strength
Accurate prediction of box compression strength (BCT) loss resulting from pallet overhang is critical for maintaining the integrity of corrugated packaging in global logistics. This study presents an expanded empirical analysis and predictive modelling framework to quantify the impact of pallet …

Investigating prediction modelling of academic performance for students in rural schools in Kenya
Academic performance prediction modelling provides an opportunity for learners' probable outcomes to be known early, before they sit for final examinations. This would be particularly useful for education stakeholders to initiate intervention measures to help students who require high intervention …

Evaluation of the PLCOM2012 Risk Prediction Model and National Lung Screening Trial Criteria for Selecting Individuals for Lung Cancer Screening
… There has been a growing interest in risk prediction modelling for selecting high-risk individuals for LC screening. Increased risk for developing LC is however associated with greater risk of dying from non-LC (competing) causes; the presence of coexisting illnesses may negate the net …
