A selection modelling approach to analysing missing data of liver Cirrhosis patients

Dilip C. Nath, Ramesh K. Vishwakarma, Atanu Bhattacharjee (2016)

Biometrical Letters

Similarity:

Methods for dealing with missing data in clinical trials have received increased attention from the regulators and practitioners in the pharmaceutical industry over the last few years. Consideration of missing data in a study is important as they can lead to substantial biases and have an impact on overall statistical power. This problem may be caused by patients dropping before completion of the study. The new guidelines of the International Conference on Harmonization place great emphasis...

Rough modeling - a bottom-up approach to model construction

Terje Loken, Jan Komorowski (2001)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

Traditional data mining methods based on rough set theory focus on extracting models which are good at classifying unseen obj-ects. If one wants to uncover new knowledge from the data, the model must have a high descriptive quality-it must describe the data set in a clear and concise manner, without sacrificing classification performance. Rough modeling, introduced by Kowalczyk (1998), is an approach which aims at providing models with good predictive emphand descriptive qualities, in...

A rainfall forecasting method using machine learning models and its application to the Fukuoka city case

S. Monira Sumi, M. Faisal Zaman, Hideo Hirose (2012)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

In the present article, an attempt is made to derive optimal data-driven machine learning methods for forecasting an average daily and monthly rainfall of the Fukuoka city in Japan. This comparative study is conducted concentrating on three aspects: modelling inputs, modelling methods and pre-processing techniques. A comparison between linear correlation analysis and average mutual information is made to find an optimal input technique. For the modelling of the rainfall, a novel hybrid...

Improving Cancer Therapy by Doxorubicin and Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor: Insights from a Computerized Model of Human Granulopoiesis

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Similarity:

Neutropenia is a significant dose-limiting toxicity of cancer chemotherapy, especially in dose-intensified regimens. It is widely treated by injections of Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor (G-CSF). However, optimal schedules of G-CSF administration are still not determined. In order to aid in identifying more efficacious and less neutropenic treatment protocols, we studied a detailed physiologically-based computer model of granulopoiesis, as affected by different treatment schedules...
