Second, we apply the method to the design decisions and respective simulation data of a parametric Design Space Exploration (DSE) for an example case of an office building retrofit.
Where necessary continuous variables were transformed logarithmically to give a near-normal distribution of data for parametric analysis.
There are several non-parametric tests to compare two survival distributions which are, with the exception of the Cox test, members of a family of statistical tests that are extensions to right censored data of non-parametric rank tests for comparing distributions [ 10].
The data on various parameters are taken in two categories for training and testing of ANN as mentioned below in order to understand the effect of using non-dimensional data in place of parametric values: 1) Input in the form of parametric data (H, T, d, R, S, D), and 2) Input in the form of non-dimensional values (H/gT2, d/gT2, S/D, R/H).
Thus, in the interest of both immediate and long-term genetic improvement goals, a combination of data analyses consisting of parametric, nonparametric GS methods as well as genetic mapping (Guo et al. 2013) should be applied to data derived from plant breeding populations.
In this paper we discuss a method for construction of C1 piecewise polynomial parametric fair surfaces which interpolate prescribed R3 scattered data using spaces of parametric splines defined on R3 triangulation.
Predictions of the developed model are found to agree reasonably well with the experimental data; a series of parametric studies is also performed aiming to investigate the effect of various modelling parameters.
All other data met assumptions of parametric statistics.
After testing that the data fit the assumptions of parametric statistics, body weight data were analysed using a repeated-measures ANOVA, followed by simple effects post-hoc tests, and behavioural data were analysed using multivariate ANOVAs.
Group comparisons of parametric data (natural logarithmic transformed cost data) were conducted using Student t-test or analysis of variance (ANOVA).
