These mathematical techniques are used to determine linear equations between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables in cases where standard techniques such as linear regression are not suitable. In this book, we examine cases where the number of data points is small (effects of nuclear warfare), where the experiment is not repeatable (the breakup of the former Soviet Union), and where the data is derived from expert opinion (how conservative is a political party). In all these cases the data  is difficult to measure and an assumption of randomness and/or statistical validity is questionable.  We apply our methods to real world issues in international relations such as  nuclear deterrence, smart power, and cooperative threat reduction. We next apply our methods to issues in comparative politics such as successful democratization, quality of life, economic freedom, political stability, and failed states. Finally, issues involving deaf and hard of hearing children are explored.  . 410 0$aStudies in Computational Intelligence,$x1860-949X 606 $aComputational intelligence 606 $aComputational Intelligence$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T11014 615 0$aComputational intelligence. 615 14$aComputational Intelligence. 676 $a511.3/223 700 $aJones$b Carol$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0911261 702 $aWierman$b Mark J$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aClark$b Terry D$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aPham$b Alex$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aRedmond$b Michael A$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910437888503321 996 $aLinear Models in the Mathematics of Uncertainty$92541913 997 $aUNINA
