Research Purpose. The study aimed to develop a discriminant model for cricketers on the basis of physiological & anthropometric variables. Material and Methods. The study included sixty female seniors BCCI board players representing five different states with mean age 23.4 ± 2.03, mean height 152.1 ± 3.44, and mean weight 52.4 ± 4.21. A multivariate technique was used to predict the cricket performance by classifying the players into batsmen and pace bowlers on the basis of selected physiological & anthropometrical variables. Results. All the assumptions were positively full-filled (Shapiro-Wilk test p > 0.05 and F = 8.121, p = 0.264 for Box’sM test) for applying discriminant analysis to develop the model. A total of eleven performance variables were initially selected for the study and after applying the stepwise statistical technique of discriminant analysis, the model selected certain variables, namely Muscle Mass (1.311), Fat (-0.182) & Shoulder Diameter (0.292) and showed its effectiveness as the Eigenvalue for the fit model was 0.848. Conclusion. A discriminant function F1 = -29.531 + (1.311 × Muscle Mass) + (-0.182 × Fat) + (0.292 × Shoulder Diameter) was developed. The percentage of total variation explained by the model was 71.9%. A total of 93.2% of the observations were correctly classified using the proposed discriminant model.

Objective: The clinical diagnostic tests are generally used to identify the presence of a disease. The cutoff value of a diagnostic test should be chosen to maximize the advantage that accrues from testing a population of human and others. When a diagnostic test is to be used in a clinical condition, there may be an opportunity to improve the test by changing the cutoff value. To enhance the accuracy of diagnosis is to develop new tests by using a proper statistical technique with optimum sensitivity and specificity. Method: Mean±2SD method, Logistic Regression Analysis, Receivers Operating Characteristics (ROC) curve analysis and Discriminant Analysis (DA) have been discussed with their respective applications. Results: The study highlighted some important methods to determine the cutoff points for a diagnostic test. The traditional method is to identify the cut-off values is Mean±2SD method. Logistic Regression Analysis, Receivers Operating Characteristics (ROC) curve analysis and Discriminant Analysis (DA) have been proved to be beneficial statistical tools for determination of cut-off points.Conclusion: There may be an opportunity to improve the test by changing the cut-off value with the help of a correctly identified statistical technique in a clinical condition when a diagnostic test is to be used. The traditional method is to identify the cut-off values is Mean ± 2SD method. It was evidenced in certain conditions that logistic regression is found to be a good predictor and the validity of the same can be confirmed by identifying the area under the ROC curve.

Bayes discriminant analysis theory (BDAT) is used to create an evaluation method to determine the condition of urban road traffic safety. The resulting Bayes discriminant model (BDM) is designed to strictly adhere to BDAT. Three indexes including death ratio per ten thousand vehicles, death ratio per hundred thousand bicycles and death ratio per hundred thousand citizens are selected as the factors in the analysis of urban road traffic safety. The grade of condition of urban road traffic safety is divided into three grades that are regarded as three normal populations in Bayes discriminant analysis. Bayes discriminant functions rigorously constructed through training a set of samples are employed to compute the Bayes function values of the evaluating samples, and the maximal function value is used to judge which population the evaluating sample belongs to. The optimality of the proposed model is verified by back-substitution method. The study shows that the prediction accuracy of the proposed model is 100% and could be used in practice.

Clean water is one point of sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), so to keep indicator water quality must be determine every period. The Discriminant analysis is an analysis of dependence that is used to classify objects into several categories. The purpose of this study were to determine the discriminant model that consist of dominant factors of water pollution. Samples were taken from 42 locations in the surrounding area of Pontianak City. The sample were analyzed in the laboratory for the contents of ferrum (Fe), dissolved oxygen (DO), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD). Width of the river were also considered is an independent variable. The methodology includes determining the pollution index that will be used as dependent variable, testing the assumption of multivariate normality and similarity of the covariance variance, conducting the discriminant analysis classification process using the Apparent Error Rate method. The pollution level of each location was visualized in a map. The resulting discriminant model has an accuracy rate of 69%.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of using the Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast cell wall (YCW) as an aflatoxin B<sub>1 </sub>(AFB<sub>1</sub>) adsorbent in broiler chicken feed on performance and carcass characteristics. The present study used a randomized complete block with four treatments in a 2 (with or without AFB<sub>1</sub>) × 2 (with or without YCW) factorial design. No interaction effect (P &gt; 0.05) between AFB<sub>1</sub> and YCW was found on the studied performance variables. The addition of YCW to the diets stimulated the feed intake of chickens during 1–21 days of age. However, YCW did not significantly increase (P &gt; 0.05) weight gain nor did it change feed conversion. The presence of AFB<sub>1</sub> in the diet did not affect (P &gt; 0.05) performance parameters. The addition of YCW to the feed containing AFB<sub>1</sub> significantly increased (P &lt; 0.05) the post-fasting live weight (781.12 g), chilled carcass weight (554.41 g), and leg weight (163.34 g) compared to feed without AFB<sub>1</sub> and YCW (764.84 g; 533.41 g; 161.88 g), feed with only YCW (764.22 g; 546.87 g; 159.34 g), and feed with only AFB<sub>1</sub> (735.41 g; 510.56 g; 152.75 g). In conclusion, YCW effectively reduced some of the deleterious effects of AFB<sub>1</sub> in broilers.

Classification is a technique to form a model of data that is already known to its classification group. The model was formed will be used to classify new objects. Fisher discriminant analysis is multivariate technique to separate objects in different groups. Naive Bayes is a classification technique based on probability and Bayes theorem with assumption of independence. This research has a goal to compare the level of classification accuracy between Fisher's discriminant analysis and Naive Bayes method on the insurance premium payment status customer. The data used four independent variables that is income, age, premium payment period and premium payment amount. The results of misclassification using the APER (Apparent Rate Error) indicate that the naive Bayes method has a higher level of accuracy is 15,38% than Fisher’s discriminant analysis is 46,15% on the insurance premium payment status customer.

<p>The auditing profession is at a crossroad worldwide. It currently faces many challenges especially in Greece where auditor rotation has been instituted as mandatory by EU regulation and the auditing profession is going to be fully liberalized (no limits on audit fees) . Given the Greek environment, it is important to investigate how client companies select auditors. In this study we address three questions. First, can selection of auditors be forecasted? Second, which statistical technique better fits the data set? Third, are there differences in firms’ financial ratios as well as institutional factors that affect auditor choice? Clients’ selection of auditors is considered in a research context using discriminant analysis and logistic regression. The discriminating factors between the two groups of companies include some firm financial ratios and institutional factors: QATA(Quick Assets/Total Assets) when using one year data, and QATA(Quick Assets/Total Assets) and SHAREHOLD (level of shareholdings) when using two year data. Prediction accuracy is close to 60.0 percent using discriminant analysis and around 80.0 percent using logistic regression. The contribution of this study is that it discriminates between the two groups of companies (Big Four versus second-tier or local auditing firms) in an IFRS environment.</p>

Purpose:The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of resisted sprint swim training with that of nonresisted sprint swim training on 50-m freestyle competition time (Vmax50) in age-group swimmers.Methods:Twenty-four age-group swimmers (age 10.6–14.9 y) were divided into resisted or nonresisted sprint swim training groups and completed a sprint swim training intervention 2 times per week for 10 weeks. Repeated 10-m sprints with progressively increasing resistance were used to determine measures of swim power. Skeletal muscle mass was estimated using B-mode ultrasound. Maturity status was estimated using predicted adult height (%Htadult) and maturity offset.Results:A 2-way repeated-measures analysis of variance revealed no group × time interaction for measured variables. Vmax50 was correlated with skeletal muscle mass and swim power variables, but no significant relationship was found between relative changes in these variables. Estimated maturity status (%Htadult) appeared to be associated with initial measures of swim power and performance variables.Conclusions:Ten weeks of resisted sprint swim training was not any more effective than nonresisted sprint swim training at improving sprint swim performance in age-group swimmers.
