OBJECTIVE: Support vector machines (SVM) is a newer statistical method that has been reported to be advantageous to traditional logistic regression for clinical classification. We determine if SVM can better predict the results of temporal artery bio...
Hospital readmission is one of the critical metrics used for measuring the performance of hospitals. The HITECH Act imposes penalties when patients are readmitted to hospitals if they are diagnosed with one of the six conditions mentioned in the Act....

We present a new method to identify anatomical subnetworks of the human connectome that are optimally predictive of targeted clinical variables, developmental outcomes or disease states. Given a training set of structural or functional brain networks...
PURPOSE: Spontaneous preterm birth is a leading cause of perinatal mortality in the United States, occurring disproportionately among non-Hispanic black women compared to other race-ethnicities. Clinicians lack tools to identify first-time mothers at...
OBJECTIVE: Artificial neural networks (ANNs) and classification and regression trees (CARTs) have been previously used for the prediction of cancer in several fields. In our study, we aim to investigate the diagnostic accuracy of three different meth...
Gene ontology (GO) provides a representation of terms and categories used to describe genes and their molecular functions, cellular components and biological processes. GO has been the standard for describing the functions of specific genes in differ...
