Linear regression

Linear B is a syllabic script that was used for writing Mycenaean Greek, the earliest confirmed form of Greek. The script predates the Greek alphabet by several centuries. The oldest Mycenaean writing dates to about 1450 BC. It is descended from the older Linear A, an undeciphered earlier script used for writing the Minoan language. It is also the only one of the three "Linears" to be deciphered, by English architect and self-taught linguist Michael Ventris. The script was discovered by…

Genealogists photograph tombstones to document the birth, death and burial information of their ancestors. This post will give you some tips on how to get the best possible results when taking those important pictures. Locating Cemeteries Your first challenge might well be just getting to the cemetery. Hopefully you have an obituary or burial record for your ancestor that gives the name of the cemetery. Depending on how old the record is, finding the cemetery can be very easy or impossible.…

Related rates are used in a wide variety of different scenarios from finding how large a spill is increasing, to how fast it may take to empty something. Related rates deal with time, usually have two different variables like height, length, radius, or width; and have something that is changing like area, distance, or volume. In order to solve related rates problems you need to be able to recall or have access to basic geometry formulas like circle, cone, cylinder, rectangle, triangle and…

the percentage of rank retained. The criteria to select the cut-off rank $k_{c}$ is based on the observation that $\delta(\hat{k})$ tends to be linear as the contributes of each eigenbackgrounds tend to be equal, i.e. for a fairly uncorrelated noise. Fig.\ref{Sigma_FIG}.b shows the cut-off rank obtained by imposing a tolerance on the second derivative $d^2 \delta/ d \hat{k}^2<10^-3$. For the examples…

The immense history of Greece could not be possible for the impressive and influential city-states located throughout the regions. Mycenae, Knossos, and Troy are three revered and questioned palatial sites that operated in similar and opposing ways. In the late 1800s, three archaeologists excavated their ways into the history books. Sir Arthur Evans became recognized as the British archaeologist who uncovered the palace at Knossos, on the island of Crete in the Aegean Sea. Heinrich Schliemann…

The Minoan Palace and the Micenaean Citadel both have walls that protect them. However, they are both very distinct. Minoan Chronology has two main periods. The “old palace” period lasted from about 1900 to 1700 BCE while the “New Palace” period started around 1700 and it lasted until 1450 BCE. Sir Arthur Evans excavated the complex at Knossos in 1900 CE. The walls of the palace are practically earthquake-proof while the lower walls have dressed stone. Minoans created all kinds of extravagant…

mathematics such as matrix algebra, linear programming and mathematics of finance. Thus, it is perfect to use in the business management field. Not only is Business math a very important type of mathematics but so is Financial Mathematics because they two form important branches of math that are directly applied to business and economics. Examples of these applied math’s that are vital for business are management science, probability theory, time series analysis, linear programming and queuing…

Regression Method Based on the data we collected, our expected regression equation is: Walmart revenue = β0 – β1CPI + β2CSI + β3ECOM – β4GAS + β5POP –β6INT – β7UNEMP + β8EARN Then we ran the regression on Minitab and got an actual regression equation. We used the method (i.e. five questions and nine problems) to evaluate the equation Minitab produced. For each of the nine problems, we ask five questions: What is the problem? How can I detect it? What are the consequences of the problem? What are…

estimated by summing the related variables into one main variable. Three-step hierarchical regression analysis is used to test the framework. Hierarchical regression analysis is useful when prior literature or theory identifies sequence of variables to be added to the regression equation. Each step includes a set of variables which will affect the outcome variable in one direction. Therefore, using hierarchical regression will help us to identify the effects of control variables, independent…

of the observed variables are perfect, meaning normality of residuals, equality of the variance, independency of the error terms, and linearity are met (Bollen & Jackman, 1990). So the constructs or variables that are measured using the multiple regression method should be relatively clear. For example, Haumann et al. (2014), in their study, used 20 control variables to get more accurate effects of the variables in the model by controlling the excluded (from the model) variables’ influence on…
