Feedforward neural networks (FFNN) are among the most used neural networks for modeling of various nonlinear problems in engineering. In sequential and especially real time processing all neural networks models fail when faced with outliers. Outliers...
OBJECTIVE: To develop a probabilistic model for discovering and quantifying determinants of outbreak detection and to use the model to predict detection performance for new outbreaks.
It is well-known that a spontaneous reporting system suffers from significant under-reporting of adverse drug reactions from the source population. The existing methods do not adjust for such under-reporting for the calculation of measures of associa...
During the past decade, virtual screening (VS) has evolved from traditional similarity searching, which utilizes single reference compounds, into an advanced application domain for data mining and machine-learning approaches, which require large and ...
BACKGROUND: Insect behavior is often monitored by human observers and measured in the form of binary responses. This procedure is time costly and does not allow a fine graded measurement of behavioral performance in individual animals. To overcome th...

BACKGROUND: In 2008, the United States spent $2.2 trillion for healthcare, which was 15.5% of its GDP. 31% of this expenditure is attributed to hospital care. Evidently, even modest reductions in hospital care costs matter. A 2009 study showed that n...

Deep learning methods endeavor to learn features automatically at multiple levels and allow systems to learn complex functions mapping from the input space to the output space for the given data. The ability to learn powerful features automatically i...
A commonly used method for evaluating a hospital's performance on an outcome is to compare the hospital's observed outcome rate to the hospital's expected outcome rate given its patient (case) mix and service. The process of calculating the hospital'...

This paper evaluates the classification of multisample problems, such as electromyographic (EMG) data, by making aggregate features available to a per-sample classifier. It is found that the accuracy of this approach is superior to that of traditiona...
A number of domains in biomedical research use data with a large number of predictors all representing the same type of measurement. Often, an important summary is the within-person distribution of these predictors. Here we focus on settings where th...
