Abstract:
The present research investigates the relationship between the central corneal thickness (CCT), Heidelberg Retina Tomograph II (HRTII) structural measurements and intraocular pressure (IOP) using an innovative non-linear multivariable regression method in order to define the risk factors in future glaucoma development and patient management. The method is implemented to data from ninety-three open angle glaucoma eyes. The results show that in established glaucoma, CCT is significantly associated with HRTII structural measurements (maximum contour depression, cup volume inferotemporally) and IOP. They are also compared to those obtained from the application of standard linear regression methods, improving the coefficient determination R(2) by 35%, exhibiting thus the performance of the proposed methodology.

Multiple Regression
Farmers can use multiple regression to determine the crop yield based on more than one factor, such as water availability, fertilizer, soil properties, etc. Here, the crop yield is the response or dependent variable as it depends on the other independent variables. The analysis requires the construction of a scatter plot...
