Our work with regards to the prediction of pathogen concentration in water has been accepted by Journal of Water and Health. In this study, the prediction accuracy is improved by sign-constrained linear regression, a new statistical approach. Sign-constrained linear regression for prediction of microbe concentration based on water quality datasets Tsuyoshi Kato, Ayano Kobayashi, Wakana Oishi, Syun-suke Kadoya, Satoshi Okabe, Naoya…
