Planning any experiment includes issues such as how many samples are to be taken and their location given some predictor variable.
The MNL model also found that the adaptation measures taken by the households are influenced by some predictor variables such as gender of the household head, age, access to extension services, agro-ecological location, farm size, family size and perception on temperature.
In this study, we could have looked at our data and then derived some predictor variables; however, the purpose of this study was not only to derive a new rule, but also to determine some risk factors based on existing recommendations and evidence.
For example, we analyzed the interaction between some predictor variables (e.g., domatia and ant size) with factorial designs when the data permitted, but sample sizes were quite low and variation among systems was high.
We apply HBE algorithm to some well known data sets such as leukemia, prostate cancer, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), small round blue cell tumors (SRBCT) to find some predictor genes that can be utilized for diagnosis and prognosis in a robust manner with a high accuracy.
A second weakness of the study involves the substantial amount of missing data for some predictor variables.
