Large variations are observed in the methods used to predict the amount of waste generated because of the range of variables involved in construction processes and the different contexts in which these methods are employed.
Second, we may not have fully controlled for measured variables in the construction of the propensity score.
In addition, variations in the correlations with functional status occurred across age and gender groups, suggesting the need to incorporate these demographic variables in the construction of multimorbidity measures.
This may involve finding the right combination of confounders to adjust for when estimating the association between an exposure variable and the disease outcome, obtaining a parsimonious set of prognostic variables in the construction of a screening instrument or predictive tool, or simply determining independent predictors for a clinical outcome in order to guide future research hypotheses.
The loadings \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document} $w_{h}^$ \end{document} w h ∗ expresses the importance of each of the variables in the construction of the new components t h.
The implemented approach is coupling the IDA ICE 3.0 building performance simulation program with the GenOpt 2.0 generic optimisation program to find optimised values of five selected design variables in the building construction and HVAC system.
CART also provides a ranking based on the overall contribution of each variable in the construction of the tree.
One approach to discourage spurious interactions is to place an incentive for repeated splits on the same variable in the construction of each CART [ 31].
The sign and magnitude of the u k 's give an indication about the contribution of each variable in the construction of the components scores, ξ k.
Socio-economic status was based on a variant of the ABS Index of Relative Socio-Economic Disadvantage that was re-calculated for the survey omitting proportion of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander persons as a variable in the construction of the index [ 4].
Furthermore, because the shear wave velocity (Vs) is a variable commonly used in construction design, it can be readily related to the soil modulus.
