![]() Unfortunately, none of these packages implement marginal effects correctly (i.e., correctly account for interrelated variables such as interaction terms (e.g., a:b) or power terms (e.g., I(a^2)) and the packages all implement quite different interfaces for different types of models. Among these are car, alr3, mfx, erer, among others. ![]() Notably, several packages provide estimates of marginal effects for different types of models. Other than this relatively new package on the scene, no packages implement appropriate marginal effect estimates. The closest approximation is modmarg, which does one-variable-at-a-time estimation of marginal effects is quite robust. ![]() While other Stata modules have provided functionality for deriving quantities of interest from regression estimates (e.g., Clarify), none has done so with the simplicity and genearlity of margins.īy comparison, R has no robust functionality in the base tools for drawing out marginal effects from model estimates (though the S3 predict() methods implement some of the functionality for computing fitted/predicted values). It also represents a significant improvement over Stata’s previous marginal effects command - mfx - which was subject to various well-known bugs. It works with nearly any kind of statistical model and estimation procedure, including OLS, generalized linear models, panel regression models, and so forth. The study showed that the validation of turbulence models and near-wall treatment methods is very important for obtaining reliable prediction results of ventilation flows.Stata’s margins command is incredibly robust. Further studies are planned to also account for radiative heat transfer in the CFD predictions to more realistically represent the heat transfer process especially in a microgravity environment. A preliminary study of a ventilation flow in an environmental test chamber with coupled heat and mass transfer and with complicated internal configuration (human simulators, computers, tables, lamps etc.) under normal-g and zero-g conditions shows that the microgravity environment has very strong influence on the air flow pattern and temperature and contaminant distributions inside the room, it demonstrates also that numerical simulation is capable of diagnosing possible environmental problems such as the occurrence of over-heating and over-pollution areas due to poor ventilation inside a spacecraft cabin and at the same time providing useful information for the optimization of the airflow design. ![]() It is found that among the turbulence models tested, the two-equation SST k-ω model yields the best overall prediction for a wide range of ventilation flows, especially for the ventilation flows with complicated flow features such as impingement, recirculation and separation and with simultaneous heat and mass transfer. The long-term objective is to evaluate the possibility of using CFD to investigate the ventilation flows and the associated heat and mass transfer processes inside a spacecraft cabin under microgravity. The focus is to validate the turbulence models and modeling methods for their capability of simulating such ventilation flows with available experimental data and to evaluate their performances for the correct prediction of the above general ventilation problems often encountered in practice, especially ventilation flow in rooms with complicated internal configuration (humans, furniture, etc.) and passive or active sources (internal heat sources, CO 2 and other contaminant sources, etc.). ![]() They have been investigated numerically by using several turbulence models. In this study, three kinds of 3D ventilation problems have been considered: (a) isothermal ventilation in simple rooms, (b) ventilation with coupled heat or mass transfer and (c) ventilation with simultaneous heat and mass transfer in an environmental test chamber with complicated internal configuration. ![]()
