Cardiovascular diseases are the leading causes on mortality in the world. Consequently, tools and methods providing useful and applicable insights into their assessment play a crucial role in the prediction and managements of specific heart conditions. In this article, we introduce a method based on multi-class Logistic Regression as a classifier to provide a powerful and accurate insight into cardiac arrhythmia, which is one of the predictors of serious vascular diseases. As suggested by our evaluation, this provides a robust, scalable, and accurate system, which can successfully tackle the challenges posed by the utilisation of big data in the medical sector.

This study was performed in order to reveal factors affecting abnormally low tenders (ALTs) and to minimize negative effects of them. A thorough literature review was carried out to observe past research about the reasons of and possible solutions to ALTs. A questionnaire was prepared and submitted to construction professionals to capture negative impacts of ALTs based on the interviews with experts and past literature. 430 companies responded to the questionnaire. The data analysis was carried out by the multinomial logistic regression statistical tool. Having quality control systems and restricted procedure with prequalification procurement systems were main significant factors to reduce ALTs. Based on all significant factors, recommendations were made to construction professionals and companies to reduce adverse effects of ALTs.
