Exploring Skills Gained Through a Robotics Program for Youth With Disabilities.

OTJR : occupation, participation and health
Children with disabilities often have fewer opportunities to engage in science, technology, engineering, and math programs that can enhance their educational and career opportunities. This study explored the quality, experience, and skills learned in...

A hybrid mathematical programming model for optimal project portfolio selection using fuzzy inference system and analytic hierarchy process.

Evaluation and program planning
The primary goal in project portfolio management is to select and manage the optimal set of projects that contribute the maximum in business value. However, selecting Information Technology (IT) projects is a difficult task due to the complexities an...

Artificial Intelligence in Clinical Decision Support: Challenges for Evaluating AI and Practical Implications.

Yearbook of medical informatics
OBJECTIVES: This paper draws attention to: i) key considerations for evaluating artificial intelligence (AI) enabled clinical decision support; and ii) challenges and practical implications of AI design, development, selection, use, and ongoing surve...

Using machine learning to evaluate treatment effects in multiple-group interrupted time series analysis.

Journal of evaluation in clinical practice
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...

OBJECTIVE: The World Health Organization, the United Nations Children's Fund, and the International Council for the Control of Iodine Deficiency Disorders recommend a median urinary iodine concentration (UIC) in pregnant women between 150 µg/L and 24...

Combining machine learning and matching techniques to improve causal inference in program evaluation.

Journal of evaluation in clinical practice
RATIONALE, AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: Program evaluations often utilize various matching approaches to emulate the randomization process for group assignment in experimental studies. Typically, the matching strategy is implemented, and then covariate balan...

Automatic ICD-10 classification of cancers from free-text death certificates.

International journal of medical informatics
OBJECTIVE: Death certificates provide an invaluable source for cancer mortality statistics; however, this value can only be realised if accurate, quantitative data can be extracted from certificates--an aim hampered by both the volume and variable na...
