Modified Weights-of-Evidence Modeling with Example of Missing Geochemical Data by Daojun Zhang, Frits Agterberg

“…If the CI assumption is satisfied, estimated LR coefficients become approximately equal to WofE contrasts and the two methods produce similar results; additionally, bias then is avoided in that the sum of all estimated posterior probabilities becomes approximately equal to the number of observed discrete events. WofE allows construction of input layers that have missing data as a separate category in addition to known presence-absence type input, while logistic regression as such is not capable of handling missing data. …”

HISTORICAL NARRATIVE: CONSTITUENT FEATURES AND LINGUISTIC PROPERTIES by Olga A. Leontovich, Anna A. Khanova

“…Language is treated as a tool of verbalising historical narrative, structuring its chronology and logic, shaping the perception of events through a system of presuppositions, connotations, and allusions, creating historical ambiance and constructing mythologised designations. The linguistic means used in the construction of historical narrative comprise: 1) the language of the historical source; 2) the narrator’s language; 3) historical terminology; 4) historicisms and archaisms; 5) precedent names; 6) obsolete and modern toponyms. …”
