Sequential regression process

A model of some multidimensional observations, possibly a vector consisting of features (variables), is associated with each unit. The map attempts to represent all available observations with optimal accuracy using a restricted set of models. At the same time the models become ordered on the grid so that similar models are close to each other and dissimilar models far from each other. Fitting of the model vectors is usually carried out by a sequential regression process, where t = 1, 2,... is the step index. For each sample x(t), the winner index c (best matching unit—BMU) is first identified by the condition... 

Garrels and MacKenzie (1967) solved for these values using a sequential subtraction process. The more general multiple linear regression method used here distributes the rounding and analytical errors over the 4 estimates and is amenable to expansion to a much larger set of reactions. 

Analysis of variance (ANOVA and MANOVA) has been used to investigate the influence of location on forms of metals in roadside soil (Nowak, 1995). Multiple regression analysis has proved valuable in processing sequential extraction data to obtain information on plant availability of trace metals in soils (Qian et al, 1996 ... 

Given a set of experimental data, we look for the time profile of A (t) and b(t) parameters in (C.l). To perform this key operation in the procedure, it is necessary to estimate the model on-line at the same time as the input-output data are received [600]. Identification techniques that comply with this context are called recursive identification methods, since the measured input-output data are processed recursively (sequentially) as they become available. Other commonly used terms for such techniques are on-line or real-time identification, or sequential parameter estimation [352]. Using these techniques, it may be possible to investigate time variations in the process in a real-time context. However, tools for recursive estimation are available for discrete-time models. If the input r (t) is piecewise constant over time intervals (this condition is fulfilled in our context), then the conversion of (C.l) to a discrete-time model is possible without any approximation or additional hypothesis. Most common discrete-time models are difference equation descriptions, such as the Auto-.Regression with eXtra inputs (ARX) model. The basic relationship is the linear difference equation ... 

Several criteria and rules of thumb have been formulated [26,28,46] to answer the question How many PCs In EMDA, criteria based on statistical inference, that is, on formal tests of hypothesis, should be avoided as we do not want to assume, in the model estimation phase, our PCs to follow a specific distribution. In this context, more intuitive criteria, albeit not formal, but simple and working in practice, are preferable, especially graphics-based criteria, such as sequential exploration of scores plots and/or inspection of residuals plots plots of eigenvalues (scree plots [47]) or cumulative variance versus number of components. Different consideration holds when PCA is used to generate data models that are further used, for example, for regression, classification tasks or process monitoring [48,49] (Section 3.1.5), where PCA model validatiOTi, for example, by cross-validation, in terms of performance on the assessment of future samples has to be taken into account. 

It is clear from the results presented in Section II that the processes of formation regression of basal bodies and flagella are sequential, and not all-or-none processes. The chance of observing particular stages depends on the synchrony with which they occur throughout the popu-...
