Efficient Group-n Encoding and Decoding for Facial Age Estimation.

IEEE transactions on pattern analysis and machine intelligence
Different ages are closely related especially among the adjacent ages because aging is a slow and extremely non-stationary process with much randomness. To explore the relationship between the real age and its adjacent ages, an age group-n encoding (...

Classification of hospital admissions into emergency and elective care: a machine learning approach.

Health care management science
Rising admissions from emergency departments (EDs) to hospitals are a primary concern for many healthcare systems. The issue of how to differentiate urgent admissions from non-urgent or even elective admissions is crucial. We aim to develop a model f...

Predictions of ocular changes caused by diabetes in glaucoma patients.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: This paper builds different neural network models with simple topologies, having one or two hidden layers which were subsequently employed in the prediction of ocular changes progression in patients with diabetes associated ...

Network-based analysis of diagnosis progression patterns using claims data.

Scientific reports
In recent years, several network models have been introduced to elucidate the relationships between diseases. However, important risk factors that contribute to many human diseases, such as age, gender and prior diagnoses, have not been considered in...

Identifying causal mechanisms in health care interventions using classification tree analysis.

Journal of evaluation in clinical practice
RATIONALE, AIMS, AND OBJECTIVES: Mediation analysis identifies causal pathways by testing the relationships between the treatment, the outcome, and an intermediate variable that mediates the relationship between the treatment and outcome. This paper ...

Using artificial neural networks to select the parameters for the prognostic of mild cognitive impairment and dementia in elderly individuals.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: A huge number of solutions based on computational systems have been recently developed for the classification of cognitive abnormalities in older people, so that individuals at high risk of developing neurodegenerative dise...

An efficient method for kidney allocation problem: a credibility-based fuzzy common weights data envelopment analysis approach.

Health care management science
Given the perennial imbalance and chronic scarcity between the demand for and supply of available organs, organ allocation is one of the most critical decisions in the management of organ transplantation networks. Organ allocation systems undergo rap...
