Web hosting has a lot of problems, such as low security, waste of bandwidth resource or sudden lack of resource. A self-adaptive cloud computing architecture--RA-Cloud architecture (Resource-aware Cloud Computing Architecture) based on web security in resource-aware situation is proposed. This architecture uses cloud computing technology and self-adaptive linear regression model to estimate the dynamic migration threshold and to search the most suitable neighbor node for data migration. This platform and algorithm distributes the huge amount of computing resource to many server "end" according to the resource constrained self-adaptive policy. The new method increases the user access speed, enhances the anti-attack ability, blocks the attacks effectively and improves the web site security.

A data integrating system, designed to provide unified access to multiple, heterogeneous biological and medical data sources, is proposed in this paper. Compared with other analogous systems, a linear regression model is used to improve the efficient of ontology alignment by results of string-based ontology alignment algorithms. We build domain ontology from object-oriented perspective to integrate bioinformatics information stored in relational databases, and describe the detailed process of heterogeneous data integration.

There are currently several electromagnetic sensors commercially available for determining in situ moisture content. All of these sensors work in a similar manner. A known electrical signal is sent into the soil. The signal measured back from the soil is expressed in the form of a complex dielectric constant that is directly related to the amount of water present in the soil. As the real component of the dielectric constant of water is four to eight times greater than most soils, changes in water content directly affect the sensor output. Soil calibration models specific to the various soil types are developed by plotting measurements of the real component versus gravimetric moisture contents. The subsequent linearregression line then becomes the soil-specific model. The focus of this study was to compare linear calibration models developed for various soil samples, with various geotechnical properties. The intent was to develop a generalized calibration model for the electromagnetic sensor. The generalized model will allow moisture content to be determined in situ, regardless of the soil type. The results of this study was the development of a generalized soil model that predicts the in situ moisture content for fine grain soils as well as the soil-specific models. In general, this study provides a framework for developing methodology to predict other in situ geotechnical parameters from measurements of the complex dielectric constant.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a typical case of neurodegenerative disorder, which often impairs the sufferer's motor skills, speech, and other functions. Combination of protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis and gene expression studies provides a better insight of Parkinson's disease. In our work a computational approach was developed to identify protein signal network in PD study. First, a network-constrain regularization analysis is employed to the linear regression model for gene expression data from transgenic mouse models in normal and with Parkinson's disease. Proteins sub-network was then detected based on an integer linear programming model by integrating microarray data and PPI database.

Work-related flow is defined as a sudden and enjoyable merging of action and awareness that represents a peak experience in the daily lives of workers. Employees' perceptions of challenge and skill and their subjective experiences in terms of enjoyment, interest and absorption were measured using the experience sampling method, yielding a total of 6981 observations from a sample of 60 employees. linear and nonlinear approaches were applied in order to model both continuous and sudden changes. According to the R-2, AICc and BIC indexes, the nonlinear dynamical systems model (i.e. cusp catastrophe model) fit the data better than the linear and logistic regressionmodels. Likewise, the cusp catastrophe model appears to be especially powerful for modelling those cases of high levels of flow. Overall, flow represents a nonequilibrium condition that combines continuous and abrupt changes across time. Research and intervention efforts concerned with this process should focus on the variable of challenge, which, according to our study, appears to play a key role in the abrupt changes observed in work-related flow.

The aim of this study is to present a method of assessing eight types of mood that is optimized to every individual on the basis of the heart rate variability (HRV) data which, to eliminate the influence of the inter-individual variability, are measured in a long time period during daily life. Eight types of mood are happiness, tension, fatigue, anxiety, depression, anger, vigor, and confusion. HRV and body accelerations were recorded from nine normal subjects for two months of normal daily life. Fourteen HRV indices were calculated with the HRV data at 512 seconds prior to the time of every mood level report. Data to be analyzed were limited to those with body accelerations of 30 mG (0.294 m/s(2)) and lower. Further, the differences from the reference values in the same time zone were calculated with both the mood score (Delta mood) and HRV index values (Delta HRVI). The multiple linear regression model that estimates Delta mood from the scores for principal components of Delta HRVI were then constructed for each individual. The data were divided into training data set and test data set in accordance with the 2-fold cross validation method. Multiple linearregression coefficients were determined using the training data set, and with the optimized model its generalization capability was checked using the test data set. The model was most effective on estimating tension compared with other seven types of mood. The subjects' mean Pearson correlation coefficient was 0.52 with the training data set and 0.40 with the test data set. We proposed a method of assessing mood that is optimized to every individual based on HRV data measured over a long period of daily life.

For seasonal and long-term power load forecasting problem, this paper presents an optimal combination forecasting method, which can optimize the combination of multiple predictive models. Optimize the combination of the two model predictions with two models as an example, which are the gray GM(1,1) model and linear regression model, and finally compare the predicted values of combination with the real values. The results show that: the combination forecasting method has a high prediction accuracy, and the error is very small.

Statistical models for predicting the solar radiation have been developed. In any prediction of the solar radiation, an understanding of its characteristics is of fundamental importance. This study presents an investigation of a relationship between solar radiation and surface temperature in Perlis, Northern Malaysia for the year of 2006. To achieve this, the data are presented in daily averaged maximum and minimum surface temperature, and daily averaged solar radiation. Since the scatter plots represent the straight line, the linear regression model was selected to estimate the solar radiation. It was found that the linear correlation coefficient value is 0.7473 shows that a strong linear relationship between solar radiation and surface temperature. The analysis of variance R-2 is 0.5585 that is;about 56 percent of the variability in temperature is accounted for by the straight-line fit to solar radiation. Based on the results, the fitted model is adequate to represent the estimation of solar radiation.

In practice, when applying a statistical method it often occurs that some observations deviate from the usual model assumptions. Least-squares (LS) estimators are very sensitive to outliers. Even one single atypical value may have a large effect on the regression parameter estimates. The goal of robust regression is to develop methods that are resistant to the possibility that one or several unknown outliers may occur anywhere in the data. In this paper, we review various robust regression methods including: M-estimate, LMS estimate, LTS estimate, S-estimate, [tau]-estimate, MM-estimate, GM-estimate, and REWLS estimate. Finally, we compare these robust estimates based on their robustness and efficiency through a simulation study. A real data set application is also provided to compare the robust estimates with traditional least squares estimator
