A Comparison of Gaussian Elimination and Cholesky Decomposition Methods in Solving a System of Linear Equations. by Niringiye, Richard

“…It is found out that Gaussian elimination is an algorithm in linear algebra for solving a system of linear equations and can also be used to find the rank of a matrix, to calculate the determinant of a matrix, and to calculate the inverse of an invertible square matrix Whereas Cholesky decomposition is a decomposition of a Hermitian, positive-definite matrix into the product of a lower triangular matrix and its conjugate transpose, which is useful for efficient numerical solutions.…”

Data-driven vertiport siting: A comparative analysis of clustering methods for Urban Air Mobility by Tao Guo, Hao Wu, Shahriar Iqbal Zame, Constantinos Antoniou

“…The inferiority of DBSCAN, OBUAM and MS scenarios reveals that neither concentrating vertiports excessively in urban centers nor distributing them too evenly across the region optimizes transport efficiency. All clustering-based methods offer a practical, data-driven alternative that does not rely on domain expertise or excessive computational resources, making them easily adaptable for real-world UAM planning. …”

Age- and sex-related changes in the position of the mental foramina and age estimation methods that use these changes by Masataka Kawamoto, Hiroki Kondou, Hiroaki Ichioka, Satoko Kimura, Risa Bandou, Ryota Matsunari, Ting Deng, Hiroshi Ikegaya

“…The results of the single regression analysis showed a positive correlation (r = 0.54) of the distance with age in men and a negative correlation (r=-0.54) in women. The mean coefficient of determination for single regression analysis was 0.26 for both sexes, which was low, making it unsuitable as a stand-alone age estimation index, although it can aid in age estimation.…”
