This is something we feel is very important, because a lot of these universities function on metrics, and function on accreditation, and making sure our students are really understanding what we're teaching," he explains.
Random forest regression [1] was applied to model field biomass as a function of lidar metrics (described above) and ancillary metrics, including topography and species composition.
The primary objective of this study was to determine if and how wetland soil microbial abundance and community composition varied as a function of landscape metrics as mediated through on-site edaphic properties.
Models of foraging intensity as a function of prey metrics, as a function of environmental variables, and as a function of all variables were fitted in R 2.10 [39].
Ensuring that target populations are reached is an important function of impact metrics, particularly for social marketing and social franchise programs.
The uncertainty measurement consists of a generalization, using fuzzy membership functions, of the similarity metrics used by well-known assessment methods.
Adding together the risk functions of differing underlying metrics is a step towards creation of a general patient-condition score of empirically based risks.
The next step of the fitting pipeline is to generate an inverse HC-PLSR metamodel, predicting the Niederer model parameters as functions of the output metrics in Table 2 and Table 3, based on the simulation results.
Similar to a study assessing the impact of weather on the association of particulate matter and mortality, we found that models using smoothed functions of continuous temperature metrics have better fit than models using synoptic weather categories only (Samet et al. 1998).
To quantify these effects of noise on the ILD functions, we used a curve fitting method (Materials and methods) with functions selected to allow best comparison of changes in ILD functions by the objective measurement of metrics from fits to the ILD functions.
