Structural equation modeling (SEM) encompasses such diverse statistical techniques as path analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, causal modeling with latent variables, and even analysis of variance ...

An international research team, including UC Davis physicists, has expanded the Fermi-Hubbard model, allowing for a more detailed exploration of materials and their properties. The researchers ...

One of the most important uses of PROC MODEL is to estimate unknown parameters in a nonlinear model. A simple nonlinear model has the form: where x is a vector of exogenous variables. To estimate ...

A new mathematical model estimates the water content in saturated natural gas, both sweet and sour, up to 10,000 psia and 460° F. For designing processing units and piping systems, one needs to ...

Partial differential equations (PDEs) lie at the heart of many different fields of Mathematics and Physics: Complex Analysis, Minimal Surfaces, Kähler and Einstein Geometry, Geometric Flows, ...

Sometimes ecological data just don’t make sense. The sockeye salmon that spawn in British Columbia’s Fraser River offer a prime example. Scientists have tracked the fishery there since 1948, through ...

For those of you who take sandcastle building very seriously, listen up: engineers now say you can trust a very simple equation to calculate the force required to push a shovel -- and any other ...
