“…In (Kotb, 2009), linear regression models were used to predict the fabric tearing force based on 9 identified input features, concluding that tearing force is largely affected by the type and number of weft yarns, weft density, ground structure, and ground yarns, while the shape of the pile and the change in pile designation have minor effects. In another study, the linear regression was also used to predict the fabric tear strength in warp and weft direction for woven wool fabrics, obtaining a Pearson correlation between the actual and the predicted strength for warp and weft of 0.976 and 0.975, respectively (Malik et al, 2011). The same linear regression model was used in (Eltayib et al, 2016) to predict the relationship between fabric tear strength and other independent variables, such as yarn tensile strength, yarn count and fabric linear density.…”
