OBJECTIVE: Support Vector Regression (SVR) has become increasingly popular in cheminformatics modeling. As a result, SVR-based machine learning algorithms, including Fuzzy-SVR and Least Square-SVR (LS-SVR) have been developed and applied in various r...
Longitudinal neuroimaging analysis of the dynamic brain development in infants has received increasing attention recently. Many studies expect a complete longitudinal dataset in order to accurately chart the brain developmental trajectories. However,...
IMPORTANCE: Suicide represents the 10th leading cause of death across age groups in the United States (12.6 cases per 100 000) and remains challenging to predict. While many individuals who die by suicide are seen by physicians before their attempt, ...

We set out to use machine learning techniques to analyse ECG data to improve risk evaluation of cardiovascular disease in a very large cohort study of the Chinese population. We performed this investigation by (i) detecting "abnormality" using 3 one-...
PURPOSE: It is common practice to perform patient-specific pretreatment verifications to the clinical delivery of IMRT. This process can be time-consuming and not altogether instructive due to the myriad sources that may produce a failing result. The...
