The above considerations may be represented mathematically by the following set of differential equations obtained from the material balances (see Appendix A)  

Equations (5.13) and (5.14) represent the simplest linear model of electrorefining. This model, which does not take into account the above-mentioned positive feedback (ji - fi), predicts three types of systems behaviour in a long-term process

Although our world in general cannot be described by simple linear relationships, most of the problems considered in the following can cope with linear models. More precisely, models that are linear in the parameters to be estimated are sufficient. The simplest linear model is the straight-line model. It reads for one dependent variable, y, and one independent variable, x, with the intercept and the slope b ... 

The simplest theoretical model proposed to predict the strain response to a complex stress history is the Boltzmann Superposition Principle. Basically this principle proposes that for a linear viscoelastic material, the strain response to a complex loading history is simply the algebraic sum of the strains due to each step in load. Implied in this principle is the idea that the behaviour of a plastic is a function of its entire loading history. There are two situations to consider. 

Impurities travel from atmosphere to ice sheet surface either attached to snowflakes or as independent aerosols. These two modes are called wet and dry deposition, respectively. The simplest plausible model for impurity deposition describes the net flux of impurity to ice sheet (which is directly calculated from ice cores as the product of impurity concentration in the ice, Ci, and accumulation rate, a) as the sum of dry and wet deposition fluxes which are both linear functions of atmospheric impurity concentration Ca (Legrand, 1987) ... 

Even in a homogeneous solid elastic wheel the distortion is complex and requires sophisticated methods to arrive at a precise relation between force and slip. For tires this is even more difficult because of its complex internal structure. Nevertheless, even the simplest possible model produces answers which are reasonably close to reality in describing the force-slip relation in measurable quantities. This model, called the brush model—or often also the Schallamach model [32] when it is associated with tire wear and abrasion—is based on the assumption that the wheel consists of a large, equally spaced number of identical, deformable elements (the fibers of a brush), following the linear deformation law... 

Linear models with respect to the parameters represent the simplest case of parameter estimation from a computational point of view because there is no need for iterative computations. Unfortunately, the majority of process models encountered in chemical engineering practice are nonlinear. Linear regression has received considerable attention due to its significance as a tool in a variety of disciplines. Hence, there is a plethora of books on the subject (e.g., Draper and Smith, 1998 Freund and Minton, 1979 Hocking, 1996 Montgomery and Peck, 1992 Seber, 1977). The majority of these books has been written by statisticians. 

ANOVA was developed by Fisher [1925,1935] as a statistical procedure that investigates influences (effects) of factors on a target quantity y according to a linear model which holds in the simplest case... 

When the model is linear in the coefficients, they can be estimated by a procedure called linear regression. If the model is nonlinear in the coefficients, estimating them is referred to as nonlinear regression. In either case, the simplest adequate model (with the fewest number of coefficients) should be used. 

The simplest linear response model for the RF induced electron density compatible with expression (97) of Or is ... 

Perhaps the simplest way of understanding the behavior of the linear model is to examine the PF of the system when T) = 1, but Qff/f. In this case the PF factorizes into four factors two factors correspond to the edge subunits, the first and fourth and two to the center subunits, the second and third. Thus,... 

A more common use of informatics for data analysis is the development of (quantitative) structure-property relationships (QSPR) for the prediction of materials properties and thus ultimately the design of polymers. Quantitative structure-property relationships are multivariate statistical correlations between the property of a polymer and a number of variables, which are either physical properties themselves or descriptors, which hold information about a polymer in a more abstract way. The simplest QSPR models are usually linear regression-type models but complex neural networks and numerous other machine-learning techniques have also been used. 

The simplest emission model is the line source with parallel plane (LSPP) emission model. In this model the lamp is considered to be a linear source in... 

Even this scheme represents a complex situation, for ES can be arrived at by alternative routes, making it impossible for an expression of the same form as the Michaelis-Menten equation to be derived using the general steady-state assumption. However, types of non-competitive inhibition consistent with the Michaelis-Menten type equation and a linear Linweaver-Burk plot can occur if the rapid-equilibrium assumption is valid (Appendix S.A3). In the simplest possible model, involving simple linear non-competitive inhibition, the substrate does not affect the inhibitor binding. Under these conditions, the reactions... 

The analyst needs to understand that statistical models vary in their inferential utility. Linear models of some type or other are the most common and the most easily analyzed with statistical computing packages, but they may be only rough approximations of the real world. An oft-quoted aphorism of G.E.P. Box is that all models are wrong, some are useful. That is no doubt true, but it misses another level of detail of such models as follows. At the simplest level, a model fits the data. At the next level, a model predicts the data. At its most useful level, a model shows unanticipated features of the data and the research, and this is the ideal especially for biomarker research. The most exquisite characterization of association... 

The electrical potential of the molecule molecular level by the bias voltage, which is divided between the left lead (tip), the right lead (substrate), and the molecule as y>o = r + (r) [293]. We assume the simplest linear dependence of the molecular potential (t) = const), but its nonlinear dependence [294] can be easily included in our model. 

Ethylene glycol (EG) may be obtained from cellulose by many ways, for instance, by the catalytic conversion over carbide catalysts [71], It is the simplest linear polyol available and often serves as a model for more complex substrates. Many reports are therefore available on the telomerization of EG. The possible telomer products are shown in Scheme 14, the linear mono-telomer typically being the desired compound. The mono-telomer can be used, after saturation of the double bonds, as a plasticizer alcohol in polyvinylchloride production, whereas application in cosmetics and surfactants has also been indicated [72]. Early examples include the work of Dzhemilev et al., who first reported on the telomerization of butadiene with EG in 1980, yielding a mixture of the mono- and di-telomers and butadiene dimers using a palladium catalyst activated by AlEt3 [73]. Kaneda also reported the use of EG in... 

As per the FDA guidance, the simplest regression model that adequately describes the concentration-response relationship should be used for quantitation. Linear... 

The simplest model that adequately describes the concentration-response relationship should be used, e.g., a linear model is simpler than a quadratic model. At the completion of the validation, evaluation of different regression models must be performed. Justification for using a quadratic regression equation must be documented. 

FIGURE 5.2 Diagram of three different types of linear models with n standards. Left the simplest model has a slope and no intercept. The center model adds a nonzero intercept. The right model is typically noted in the literature as the multiple linear regression (MLR) model because it uses more than one response variable, and n>(m+ 1) with an intercept term and n> m without an intercept term. This model is shown with a nonzero intercept. 

For a linear system such as that in the ion of the carbocyanines already mentioned, a very simple model gives interesting results according to H. Kuhn. This model is the one-dimensional simplest metal model discussed in 37. 

In general, unfolding events are known to be promoted by denaturant. Although there are many models for this dependence of unfolding free energy on denaturant (Pace, 1986), the simplest is a linear model where...

Another commonly used statistical model is the Linear Model, which represents a family of models of a similar structure. The most commonly employed linear model is the analysis of variance model (ANOVA). We shall illustrate this model using the simplest case, the one-way ANOVA model. 

The simplest form of model for the sorption of biological and chemical threat agents to the soil is a linear model in which the rate of sorption is dependent on the concentration of the agent. A linear equilibrium model can be represented as follows ... 

Our treatment in this section will cover three primary thrusts in modeling dislocation core phenomena. Our first calculations will consider the simplest elastic models of dislocation dissociation. This will be followed by our first foray into mixed atomistic/continuum models in the form of the Peierls-Nabarro cohesive zone model. This hybrid model divides the dislocation into two parts, one of which is treated using linear elasticity and the other of which is considered in light of a continuum model of the atomic-level forces acting across the slip plane of the dislocation. Our analysis will finish with an assessment of the gains made in direct atomistic simulation of dislocation cores. 

Hansch analysis tries to correlate biological activity with physico-chemical properties by linear and nonlinear regression analysis, finding property-activity relationship models. A Craig plot is a plot of two substituent parameters (e.g., Hansch-Fujita n and Hammett a values). The simplest Hansch analysis is based on the Hansch linear model [Kubinyi, 1988b], defined... 

The simplest geochemical cycles are based around the concept of maintaining a steady state to satisfy the constraints of mass balance. More complex cycles incorporate the dynamic response of the system to perturbation (Lasaga. Berner, 1998). In this case, the resultant feedback processes are normally quantified using linear models, but, depending on which geochemical cycle is being considered, more complex, nonlinear responses may be more appropriate. 

The simplest mathematical model of a polymer chain is the freely jointed chain. It has n links, each of length I, joined in a linear sequence with no restrictions on the angles between successive bonds. The length of the chain along its backbone is known as the contour length and is given by nl. However, for linear flexible chains, it is more usual, and more realistic, to consider the dimensions of the molecular coil in terms of the distance between the two chain ends, that is the end-to-end distance r [Fig. A2.1(a)].
