... discriminant analysis, logistic regression, support vector machines, and random forest) in two different scenarios, urban and forest, formed by artificial and natural objects, respectively. The results ...
Background The currently known breast cancer-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are presently not used to guide clinical management. We explored whether a genetic test that incorporates ...
We present a novel method for the estimation of variance parameters in generalised linear mixed models. The method has its roots in Harville (J Am Stat Assoc 72(358):320–338, 1977)’s work, but it is able ...
Background: Post-stroke Shoulder Pain (PSSP) is a common stroke-related syndrome that prolongs hospitalization and diminishes quality of life. PSSP studies were unsuccessful in clarifying pathophysiological ...
Goodness–of–fit tests for quantile regression models, in the presence of missing observations in the response variable, are introduced and analyzed in this paper. The different proposals are based on the ...
The use of the area under the receiver-operating characteristic, ROC, curve (AUC) as an index of diagnostic accuracy is overwhelming in fields such as biomedical science and machine learning. It seems ...
In this research, an algorithm is presented for predicting the remaining useful life (RUL) of aircraft engines from a set of predictor variables measured by several sensors located in the engine. RUL prediction ...
The paper first introduces a new two-parameter continuous probability distribution
with bounded support from the extended exponential-geometric distribution. Closed-
form expressions are given for the ...
Introduction
Childhood obesity is of major public health concern with significant health, social and economic impacts, having even potential to reverse the increase in longevity that has been observed. ...
We present a novel method for the estimation of variance parameters in generalised linear mixed models. The method has its roots in Harville (J Am Stat Assoc 72(358):320–338, 1977)’s work, but it is able ...
In this paper we introduce Simplify ITS, a novel approach to an adaptive and Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) aimed to support teachers in enhancing the student know ledge and skills. Unlike other approaches, ...
BACKGROUND: Nasal prongs are frequently used to deliver noninvasive CPAP in bronchiolitis, especially in the youngest children. A helmet interface is an alternative that might be comparable to nasal prongs. ...
n this paper we investigate some structural properties of the order on the set of embedded coalitions outlined in the paper de Clippel G. and R. Serrano (2008) Marginal Contributions and Externalities ...
Background: Pathophysiology of migraine is not fully known. A link has been proposed between migraine and patent foramen ovale (PFO). However, there are conflicting data regarding the causal relationship ...
Multi-state models are often used for modeling complex event history data. In these models the estimation of the transition probabilities is of particular interest, since they allow for long-term predictions ...
Several observational studies have assessed the correlation between Merkel cell carcinoma and Merkel cell polyomavirus with variable results. The objective of this systematic review was to determine whether ...
Times between consecutive events are often of interest in medical studies. Usually the events represent different states of the disease process and are modeled using multi-state models. This paper introduces ...
The present study analyzes the weight gain patterns per unit of size and estimates the minimum suitable catch size of two clam species: the carpet shell clam Ruditapes decussatus and the Manila clam Ruditapes ...
In a proportionate flow shop problem several jobs have to be processed through a fixed sequence of machines and the processing time of each job is equal on all machines. By identifying jobs with agents ...
