We propose a new homotopy loss, where practitioners can tune the parameter to derive different loss functions such as l-norm loss, logarithmic loss, Geman-Reynolds loss, Geman-McClure loss and correntropy-based loss. Moreover, we illustrate that the ...
Nontyphoidal species are the leading bacterial cause of foodborne disease in the United States. Whole-genome sequences and paired antimicrobial susceptibility data are available for strains because of surveillance efforts from public health agencie...
INTRODUCTION: Hematological indices including red cell distribution width and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio are proven to be associated with outcomes of acute coronary syndrome. The usefulness of machine learning techniques in predicting mortality a...
