BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Accurately predicting the survival of patients with spinal metastases is important for guiding surgical intervention. The SORG machine-learning (ML) algorithm for the 90-day and one-year mortality of patients with metastatic cance...
Marginal maximum likelihood (MML) estimation is the preferred approach to fitting item response theory models in psychometrics due to the MML estimator's consistency, normality, and efficiency as the sample size tends to infinity. However, state-of-t...
PURPOSE: Depth of interaction (DOI) readout in PET imaging has been researched in efforts to mitigate parallax error, which would enable the development of small diameter, high-resolution PET scanners. However, DOI PET has not yet been commercialized...
Emotion recognition is of great importance for artificial intelligence, robots, and medicine etc. Although many techniques have been developed for emotion recognition, with certain successes, they rely heavily on complicated and expensive equipment. ...
