Recently, L1-norm distance measure based Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) techniques have been shown to be robust against outliers. However, these methods have no guarantee of obtaining a satisfactory-enough performance due to the insufficient robu...
Journal of evaluation in clinical practice
Jun 11, 2018
RATIONALE, AIMS, AND OBJECTIVES: Interrupted time series analysis (ITSA) is a popular evaluation methodology in which a single treatment unit's outcome is studied over time, and the intervention is expected to "interrupt" the level and/or trend of th...
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis & frontotemporal degeneration
Jun 4, 2018
OBJECTIVE: F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) single-center studies using support vector machine (SVM) approach to differentiate amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) from controls have shown high overall accuracy on an ind...
BACKGROUND: A lack of a sufficiently large sample at single sites causes poor generalizability in automatic diagnosis classification of heterogeneous psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia based on brain imaging scans. Advanced deep learning met...
Crop cultivar identification is fundamental for agricultural research, industry and policies. This paper investigates the feasibility of using visible/near infrared hyperspectral data collected with a miniaturized NIR spectrometer to identify cultiva...

Discriminative methods commonly produce models with relatively good generalization abilities. However, this advantage is challenged in real-world applications (e.g., medical image analysis problems), in which there often exist outlier data points (sa...
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) can lead to uncontrollable cytokine production, fatal sepsis syndrome and depression/multiple organ failure, as pathophysiologic demonstration. Various toxic effects of LPS have been extensively reported, mainly on the toxici...
