Evaluation of Environmental Factors Influencing Photovoltaic System Efficiency Under Real-World Conditions by Krzysztof Pytel, Wiktor Hudy, Roman Filipek, Malgorzata Piaskowska-Silarska, Jana Depešová, Robert Sito, Ewa Janiszewska, Izabela Sieradzka, Krzysztof Sulkowski

“…Initial correlation analysis using Pearson and Spearman coefficients confirmed associations between environmental factors and power output, especially solar irradiance. In order to advance the analysis beyond conventional methods, a linear regression model was developed in which the model weights were optimized using evolutionary algorithms, allowing for a more robust assessment of the contribution of each parameter. …”

Information method for control of green glass production by R. I. Makarov, E. R. Khorosheva

“…These statistical data differ from the normal law of probability distribution, which limits the use of traditional statistical control methods. Regression models do not always give an accurate mathematical description of the process since the variance of the conditional mathematical expectation of the output variable relative to the input is not a consistent characteristic of the relationship between the input and output variables. …”
