While stress relaxation processes of the lung have been intensively investigated, non-linear interrelations have not been systematically analyzed, and such analyses have been limited to small volume or pressure ranges.
In silico interactions within the pathway (Fig. 1b) can be compared with linear and non-linear interrelations derived from expression data from normal colon and colon tumors [E-MTAB-57 (Ancona et al., 2006), E-GEOD-37892, ArrayExpress (Parkinson et al., 2011)].
To estimate the necessary degree of non-linearity for such modelling without forming exact assumption about the functional interrelations, results from a linear regression analysis are compared with an artificial neural network (ANN).
Both interrelations presented a non-linear progression.
The system models are designed for an all-coverage approach and comprise linear and non-linear approximation functions representing the interrelations and dependencies among the measurement variables.
Statistically, power, exponential and logarithmic-linear equations can be used to describe the interrelations of main hydraulic parameters including flow velocity, Reynolds Number, Froude Number and Darcy Weisbach roughness coefficient.
Structural equation modeling was used to estimate the total effect of each predictor, in order to establish a linear model to predict the MSQoL score with these interrelations accounted for.
Similarity of results of the models based on original and transformed data indicates that the generalized linear model on the basis of the original data represents the interrelations sufficiently.
To detect the presence of mutational burden interrelation with the degree of atherosclerotic lesion, a linear regression analysis was carried out.
The analysis of interrelations between R&D projects also shows a low, non-linear and non-progressive interrelation.
Variables selected from the linear regression analyses were used to construct a structural equation model to test the interrelations between variables and the MSQoL score.
