    Network traffic analysis is the way toward chronicle, evaluating and examining system traffic with the end goal of execution, security as well as general system tasks and the executives. Analysis and prediction of network traffic has applications in wide far reaching set of zones and has recently pulled in noteworthy number of studies. Various types of trials are directed and condensed to distinguish different issues in existing PC arrange applications. System traffic examination and forecast is a proactive way to deal with guarantee secure, dependable and subjective system correspondence. Different systems are proposed and tested for analyzing system traffic including neural network based strategies to data mining methods. So also, different Linear and non-linear models are proposed for system traffic prediction. A few intriguing mixes of system examination and forecast strategies are actualized to achieve proficient and compelling outcomes [3]

    The Flexible Substitution Logit: Uncovering Category Expansion and Share Impacts of Marketing Instruments

    Different instruments are relevant for different marketing objectives (category demand expansion or market share stealing). To help brand managers make informed marketing mix decisions, it is essential that marketing mix models appropriately measure the different effects of marketing instruments. Discrete choice models that have been applied to this problem might not be adequate because they possess the Invariant Proportion of Substitution (IPS) property, which imposes counter-intuitive restrictions on individual choice behavior. Indeed our empirical application to prescription writing choices of physicians in the hyperlipidemia category shows this to be the case. We find that three commonly used models that all suffer from the IPS restriction - the homogeneous logit model, the nested logit model, and the random coefficient logit model - lead to counter-intuitive estimates of the sources of demand gains due to increased marketing investments in Direct-to-Consumer Advertising (DTCA), detailing, and Meetings and Events (M&E). We then propose an alternative choice model specification that relaxes the IPS property - the so-called "flexible substitution" logit (FSL) model. The (random coefficient) FSL model predicts that sales gains from DTCA and M&E come primarily from the non-drug treatment (87.4% and 70.2% respectively), whereas gains from detailing come at the expense of competing drugs (84%). By contrast, the random coefficient logit model predicts that gains from DTCA, M&E and detailing all would come largely from competing drugs.

    Issue of Anaemia in the Geriatric Patients: A Review on Haematological evaluation in Clinics

    Anemia in the elderly (defined as people aged > 65 years) is common and increasing as the population ages. In older patients, anemia of any degree contributes significantly to morbidity and mortality and has a significant effect on the quality of life. Despite its clinical importance, anemia in the elderly is under-recognized and evidence-based guidelines on its management are lacking. Nonetheless, based on the WHO definition, studies have estimated that, in people over 65 years, the prevalence of anemia is 12% in those living in the community, 40% in those admitted to the hospital, and as high as 47% in nursing home residents. Commonly identified when the elderly are scheduled for elective surgical procedures. Anemia is a common condition in surgical patients and is independently associated with increased perioperative mortality. What constitutes appropriate evaluation and management for an elderly patient with anemia, and when to initiate a referral to a hematologist, are significant issues. In the present review we have collected the perspective on the different aspects of evaluation anaemia in the elderly patients and comment on the therapeutic management
