Gross Tonnage-Based Statistical Modeling and Calculation of Shipping Emissions for the Bosphorus Strait by Kaan Ünlügençoğlu

“…These EPA-estimated values served as dependent variables in the modeling process. The modeling framework followed a three-step strategy: (1) outlier detection using Rosner’s test to reduce the influence of outliers on model accuracy, (2) curve fitting with 12 regression models representing four curve types—polynomial (e.g., linear, quadratic), concave/convex (e.g., exponential, logarithmic), sigmoidal (e.g., logistic, Gompertz, Weibull), and spline-based (e.g., cubic spline, natural spline)—to capture diverse functional relationships between GT and emissions, and (3) model comparison using difference performance metrics to ensure a comprehensive assessment of predictive accuracy, consistency, and bias. …”
