Book excerpt: Since mathematical models express our understanding of how nature behaves, we use them to validate our understanding of the fundamentals about systems (which could be processes, equipment, procedures, devices, or products). Also, when validated, the model is useful for engineering applications related to diagnosis, design, and optimization. First, we postulate a mechanism, then derive a model grounded in that mechanistic understanding. If the model does not fit the data, our understanding of the mechanism was wrong or incomplete. Patterns in the residuals can guide model improvement. Alternately, when the model fits the data, our understanding is sufficient and confidently functional for engineering applications. This book details methods of nonlinear regression, computational algorithms,model validation, interpretation of residuals, and useful experimental design. The focus is on practical applications, with relevant methods supported by fundamental analysis. This book will assist either the academic or industrial practitioner to properly classify the system, choose between the various available modeling options and regression objectives, design experiments to obtain data capturing critical system behaviors, fit the model parameters based on that data, and statistically characterize the resulting model. The author has used the material in the undergraduate unit operations lab course and in advanced control applications.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Praise for the First Edition "The obvious enthusiasm of Myers, Montgomery, and Vining and their reliance on their many examples as a major focus of their pedagogy make Generalized Linear Models a joy to read. Every statistician working in any area of applied science should buy it and experience the excitement of these new approaches to familiar activities." —Technometrics Generalized Linear Models: With Applications in Engineering and the Sciences, Second Edition continues to provide a clear introduction to the theoretical foundations and key applications of generalized linear models (GLMs). Maintaining the same nontechnical approach as its predecessor, this update has been thoroughly extended to include the latest developments, relevant computational approaches, and modern examples from the fields of engineering and physical sciences. This new edition maintains its accessible approach to the topic by reviewing the various types of problems that support the use of GLMs and providing an overview of the basic, related concepts such as multiple linear regression, nonlinear regression, least squares, and the maximum likelihood estimation procedure. Incorporating the latest developments, new features of this Second Edition include: A new chapter on random effects and designs for GLMs A thoroughly revised chapter on logistic and Poisson regression, now with additional results on goodness of fit testing, nominal and ordinal responses, and overdispersion A new emphasis on GLM design, with added sections on designs for regression models and optimal designs for nonlinear regression models Expanded discussion of weighted least squares, including examples that illustrate how to estimate the weights Illustrations of R code to perform GLM analysis The authors demonstrate the diverse applications of GLMs through numerous examples, from classical applications in the fields of biology and biopharmaceuticals to more modern examples related to engineering and quality assurance. The Second Edition has been designed to demonstrate the growing computational nature of GLMs, as SAS®, Minitab®, JMP®, and R software packages are used throughout the book to demonstrate fitting and analysis of generalized linear models, perform inference, and conduct diagnostic checking. Numerous figures and screen shots illustrating computer output are provided, and a related FTP site houses supplementary material, including computer commands and additional data sets. Generalized Linear Models, Second Edition is an excellent book for courses on regression analysis and regression modeling at the upper-undergraduate and graduate level. It also serves as a valuable reference for engineers, scientists, and statisticians who must understand and apply GLMs in their work.

Book excerpt: Conventional and Fuzzy Regression: Theory and Applications aims to present both conventional and fuzzy regression analyses from theoretical aspects followed by application examples. The present book contains eight chapters originating from different scientific fields: River Engineering, Ecohydraulics, Telecommunications, Urban Planning, Transportation Planning, Hydrology, Soil Mechanics and Ecology. The first chapter deals with both crisp (conventional) linear or nonlinear regression and fuzzy linear or nonlinear regression. The application example refers to the relationship between sediment transport rates on the one hand and stream discharge and rainfall intensity on the other hand. In the examined case, the data of both categories are insufficient, and furthermore, the phenomenon is characterized by high complexity and uncertainties. The second chapter refers to the crisp linear or nonlinear regression of six heavy metals between different soft tissues and shells of Telescopium telescopium and its habitat surface sediments. The third chapter describes the crisp linear, multiple linear, nonlinear and Gaussian process regressions. The main application paradigms include the prediction in wireless systems, the predictive analytics in Internet of Things (IoT) based systems, and coding theory focused on extrinsic information scaling in turbo codes. The fourth chapter is confronted with a classic regression model, named Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR), which constitutes a spatial statistics method. The application example of this chapter concerns the housing value, i.e., a spatial phenomenon that is expressed as a function of housing characteristics. The fifth chapter regards fuzzy linear regression based on symmetric triangular fuzzy numbers. The main application of this regression consists of the analysis and forecast of rail passenger demand between two nearby cities. The dependent variable concerns the rail passengers and the independent variables are the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita, the cost of transport by rail and the road transport fuel prices. The sixth chapter treats fuzzy linear regression based on trapezoidal membership functions. In concrete terms, three possible models with trapezoidal fuzzy parameters are described. The main application of this chapter concerns the dependence of rainfall records between neighboring rainfall stations for a small sample of data. The seventh chapter refers to the multivariable crisp and fuzzy linear regression. In the application paradigm, the dependent variable is the strength of fiber reinforced soils, while the independent variables are pertinent to soil, fiber and laboratory tests. The eighth chapter deals with the fuzzy linear regression, with crisp input data and fuzzy output data. In the application example, a relation between the levels of chlorophyll-a in an artificial lake and water temperature, nitrate, total phosphorus and Secchi depth is established. All the above chapters offer a proper foundation of either widely used or new techniques upon regression. Among the new techniques, several innovated fuzzy regression based methodologies are developed for real problems, and useful conclusions are drawn.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Application-Oriented Introduction to Essential Optimization Concepts and Best Practices Optimization is an inherent human tendency that gained new life after the advent of calculus; now, as the world grows increasingly reliant on complex systems, optimization has become both more important and more challenging than ever before. Engineering Optimization provides a practically-focused introduction to modern engineering optimization best practices, covering fundamental analytical and numerical techniques throughout each stage of the optimization process. Although essential algorithms are explained in detail, the focus lies more in the human function: how to create an appropriate objective function, choose decision variables, identify and incorporate constraints, define convergence, and other critical issues that define the success or failure of an optimization project. Examples, exercises, and homework throughout reinforce the author’s “do, not study” approach to learning, underscoring the application-oriented discussion that provides a deep, generic understanding of the optimization process that can be applied to any field. Providing excellent reference for students or professionals, Engineering Optimization: Describes and develops a variety of algorithms, including gradient based (such as Newton’s, and Levenberg-Marquardt), direct search (such as Hooke-Jeeves, Leapfrogging, and Particle Swarm), along with surrogate functions for surface characterization Provides guidance on optimizer choice by application, and explains how to determine appropriate optimizer parameter values Details current best practices for critical stages of specifying an optimization procedure, including decision variables, defining constraints, and relationship modeling Provides access to software and Visual Basic macros for Excel on the companion website, along with solutions to examples presented in the book Clear explanations, explicit equation derivations, and practical examples make this book ideal for use as part of a class or self-study, assuming a basic understanding of statistics, calculus, computer programming, and engineering models. Anyone seeking best practices for “making the best choices” will find value in this introductory resource.
