To estimate impedance function‚ distance as a proxy of travel cost between pairs of origins and destinations is calculated by ARC GIS 10.2 which considers the length of the shortest available route. To calibrate the best impedance function‚ the frequency distribution of walking trips is plotted against distance. By fitting different types of functions (i.e.‚ exponential‚ multiplicative exponential‚ linear‚ logarithmic‚ polynomial‚ power) and comparing standard error of the estimates’ values‚ the

article explains how to make tests of hypothesis about experiments with more than two possible outcomes (or categories). Such experiments‚ called multinomial experiments‚ possess four characteristics. Note that a binomial experiment is a special case of a multinomial experiment. An experiment with the following characteristics is called a multinomial experiment. 1. It consists of n identical trials (repetitions). 2. Each trial results in one of k possible outcomes (or categories)‚ where k _ 2

Observing the patterns of patients‚ in order to detect the groups of patients‚ we design a generative process of the patterns incorporating diagnosis groups as latent variables. First‚ we assume the patterns in a particular diagnosis group follow a multinomial distribution‚ which is a random variable draws from a prior Dirichlet distribution. By making analogies between words in documents and patterns of patients and inspiring from bag-of-words‚ we represent the observed patterns of a patient as a bag
