Abstract Establishing an effective forest fire forecasting mechanism is the premise of scientific planning and management of forest fires and forest fire prevention. In recent years, the forest fire prediction mechanism has been one of the key areas of concern for the government forestry management departments and forestry researchers. One of them, is logistic regression ( LR ). It is a relatively frequent prediction probability model used in forest fire prediction and prediction in China and abroad for the past few years. However, with the gradual deepening of research, it is found that the logistic regression model fails to fully consider the spatial non-stationary relationship between forest fires and driving factors, which leads to poor fitting effect and low prediction accuracy of the model. But its extended counterpart, the Geographically weighted logistic regression ( GWLR ) model, takes into account the spatial correlation between model variables, and effectively improves the fitting ability and prediction accuracy of the model. Therefore, this paper compares the ability of the logistic regression model and the geographically weighted logistic regression model in terms of fitting ability and prediction accuracy in order to obtain the ability of the two models to predict forest fires in Yunnan Province. In this paper, the samples were divided into 60% training samples and 40% test samples, and repeated sampling was carried out 5 times for training. Variables that appeared in the training model for 3 or more times were used to construct the final LR and GWLR models. Finally, the models with better fitting ability and higher prediction accuracy were used to classify the fire risks in Yunnan Province. The results show that the geographically weighted logistic regression model is superior to the logistic regression model in terms of fitting effect and accuracy. The geographically weighted logistic regression model is more suitable for the data structure of forest fires in Yunnan Province and has better prediction ability. The AUC value of the geographically weighted logistic regression model is 0.902, and the prediction accuracy is 82.7 %; The AUC value of logistic regression model was 0.891, and the prediction accuracy was 80.1%; Fully considering the spatial heterogeneity among model variables can, to some extent, predict forest fires more accurately. The fitting of the two models shows that the relative humidity, temperature, air pressure, sunshine hours, daily precipitation, wind speed, and other meteorological factors; Vegetation type; terrain factor; Population density, road network and other human activity factors become the cause of forest fires in Yunnan Province.

This study is intended to investigate the influencing factors of injury severity by considering the heterogeneity issue of unobserved factors at different arterials and the spatial attributes in geographically weighted regression models. To achieve the objectives, geographically weighted panel logistic regression model was developed, in which the geographically weighted logistic regression model addressed the injury severity from the spatial perspective, while the panel data model accommodated the heterogeneity attributed to unobserved factors from the temporal perspective. The geo-crash data of Las Vegas metropolitan area from 2014 to 2016 was collected, involving 27 arterials with 25,029 injury samples. By comparing the conventional logistic regression model and geographically weighted logistic regression models, the geographically weighted panel logistic regression model showed preference to the other models. Results revealed that four main factors, human-beings (drivers/pedestrians/cyclists), vehicles, roadway, and environment, were potentially significant factors of increasing the injury severity. The findings provide useful insights for practitioners and policy makers to improve safety along arterials.

This research is aim to determine the comparison of logistic regression models and models Geographically Weighted Logistic Regression and the factors that significantly affect the risk of pneumonia in toddlers in East Java Province. Logistic regression is a statistical analysis that is used to describe the response variable is categorical with the independent variables are categorical or continuous. The main problem of this method if  it’s applied in data that is affected of geographic location or spatial data. One of many method to solve the spatial data is Geographically Weighted Logistic Regression (GWLR). GWLR is a statistical method for analyze the data to account for spatial factor. The results showed that there are no significant differences between the logistic regression model with GWLR model. Factors that significantly affect the risk of pneumonia in toddlers in East Java Province is the percentage of low birth weight, the percentage of  toddlers who get measles immunization, the percentage of toddlers who get vitamin A, and the percentage of toddlers who get DPT+HB immunization.

AbstractThis article introduces how to implement the logistic regression model (LRM) with phenotypic variables for classifying Asian rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars into two pivotal subpopulations, indica and japonica. This study took advantage of publicly available data attached to a previous paper. The classification accuracy was assessed using an area under curve (AUC) of a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Given 24 phenotypic variables for 280 indica/japonica accessions, the LRMs were fitted with up to six phenotypic variables of all possible combinations; the highest AUC accounts for 0.9977, obtained with six variables including panicle number per plant, seed number per panicle, florets per panicle, panicle fertility, straighthead susceptibility and blast resistance. Overall, the more variables there are, the higher the resulting AUCs are. The ultimate purpose of this study is to demonstrate the indica/japonica prediction ability of the LRM when applied to unclassified Asian rice cultivars. To estimate the indica/japonica prediction accuracy, ten-fold cross-validations were conducted 100 times with the 280 indica/japonica accessions using the LRM with parameters that yielded the highest AUC. The resulting prediction accuracy accounted for 0.9779. This suggests that the LRM promises to be a highly effective indica/japonica prediction tool using phenotypic variables in Asian cultivated rice.

Purpose – the main purpose of the study is to investigate an accurate prediction method for banking distress applied on a set of Egyptian banks.Methodology - the researchers have compared the prediction accuracy of the discriminant analysis and logistic regression model, to choose the most appropriate one. The data has been collected from the “Bank scope” data base and for the period of 2002–2016.Findings – the results of the study revealed that the predictive accuracy of discriminant analysis outperformed that of the logistic regression model.Originality - The study adds value to the literature as it is one of the few studies that is concerned with predicating the banking financial distress especially in Egypt.
