However, the concept allows to integrate other modelling techniques, i.e. approaches that suit interdisciplinary modelling.
Table 1 presents the exceptional virtues of ISM over other modelling techniques.
A framework that is not restricted to a specific mathematical approach facilitates the integration of other modelling techniques.
Once the barriers for JIT production are identified, the interaction among the barriers can be analysed using other modelling techniques like ANP or AHP.
Although there are a few neural networks that have been applied to optical sensor responses, comparison of the method with other modelling techniques has not previously been reported.
Depending on the severity of missing data, other modelling techniques may be used.
Neural nets are even more flexible in capturing interactions and non-linearities, which might be missed by other modelling techniques.
Other modelling techniques proposed recently include the slow-scale linear noise approximation and stochastic quasi-steady-state assumption [ 28][ 29].
The PLS-PM results were not compared with other modelling techniques such as covariance-based SEM or multivariate regression analysis.
Further research might investigate our evaluated models, but also other modelling techniques such as LASSO, using other cohorts, and also using other settings for the modelling (such as pruning options, priors, and number of subjects in the end nodes).
However, as for other modelling choices (central population growth scenario, higher attrition rate before retirement and unbound service utilization trend lines to 2030), we have allowed for physician demand to expand, rejecting any status quo supply assumption.
