Artificial neural networks to investigate the importance and the sensitivity to various parameters used for the prediction of chromosomal abnormalities
(2012)A selection of artificial neural network models were built and implemented for systematically study the contribution and the sensitivity of the main influencing parameters as important contributing factors for the non-invasive ...

Computer-aided detection of breast cancer nuclei
(1997)A computer-aided detection system for tissue cell nuclei in histological sections is introduced and validated as part of the Biopsy Analysis Support System (BASS). Cell nuclei are selectively stained with monoclonal ...

Determining model accuracy as a function of inputs and system parameters
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2004)Vital to the effectiveness of simulation-based design is having a system model of known quality. Previous research introduced an algorithm called AVASIM for assessing model validity systematically and quantitatively. AVASIM ...

Developing the evidence base for cancer chemoprevention: Use of meta-analysis
(2011)Meta-analysis is a quantitative approach for systematically combining the results of previous studies in order to arrive at conclusions about the body of research. It answers a specific research question, includes an ...

Evaluation of ACC vehicles in mixed traffic: Lane change effects and sensitivity analysis
(2005)Almost every automobile company is producing vehicles with adaptive cruise control (ACC) system onboard that enables a vehicle to do automatic vehicle following in the longitudinal direction. The ACC system is designed for ...

Frequency-domain characterization of Singular Spectrum Analysis eigenvectors
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2017)Singular Spectrum Analysis (SSA) is a nonparametric approach used to decompose a time series into meaningful components, related to trends, oscillations and noise. SSA can be seen as a spectral decomposition, where each ...

Hierarchical decentralized fusion from correlated sensor measurements
(2005)In this paper we consider hierarchical decentralized fusion of possibly correlated noisy measurements of a random variable. Our goal is to obtain initial estimates in a decentralized fashion (based on disjoint groupings ...

Inclusive search for anomalous production of high-pT like-sign lepton pairs in pp̄ collisions at √s = 1.8 TeV
(2004)A search for anomalous production of events with at least two charged, isolated, like-sign leptons was discussed. A signal region, which contains low background from standard model (SM) processes, was defined. The final ...

Inclusive search for new physics with like-sign dilepton events in pp̄ collisions at s=1.96TeV
(2007)We describe a search for anomalous production of events with two leptons (e or μ) of the same electric charge in pp̄ collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV. Many extensions to the standard model predict the ...

Maximum Likelihood parameter estimation from incomplete data via the sensitivity equations: The continuous-time case
(IEEE, 1999)The problem of estimating the parameters for continuous-time partially observed systems is discussed. New exact filters for obtaining Maximum Likelihood (ML) parameter estimates via the Expectation Maximization algorithm ...

Article
Meta-analysis of family-based and case-control genetic association studies that use the same cases
(2011)In many cases in genetic epidemiology, the investigators in an effort to control for different sources of confounding and simultaneously to increase the power perform a family-based and a population-based case-control study ...

Neural networks to estimate the influence of cervix length on the prediction of spontaneous preterm delivery before 37 weeks
(2008)Neural networks were applied in an effort to predict the risk for early spontaneous preterm delivery using various demographic, clinical, and laboratory inputs. Furthermore, attention has been focused on the influence of ...

Parametric study and cost analysis of a solar-heating-and-cooling system for detached single-family households in hot climates
(2015)A solar-heating-and-cooling (SHC) system, consisting of a flat-plate solar collector array, a hot water storage tank, and an absorption chiller unit is designed and modeled to satisfy thermal loads (space heating, domestic ...

Risk-sensitive control, differential games, and limiting problems in infinite dimensions
(IEEE, 1994)In this paper we present the solutions of the stochastic finite and infinite horizon risk-sensitive control problems in infinite dimensions, with μ, ε > 0, respectively, representing the risk-sensitivity and small noise ...

Safe adaptive control for performance improvement
(2006)In the past fifty years, adaptive control theory has reached a high level of maturity. However, applications of adaptive control in safety sensitive systems are still very limited. Conventional identifier based adaptive ...

Search for V+A current in top-quark decays in pp̄ collisions at s=1.96TeV
(2007)We report an upper limit on the fraction of V+A current, fV+A, in top-quark decays, using approximately 700pb-1 of pp̄ collisions at s=1.96TeV acquired by the upgraded Collider Detector at Fermilab. For the decay t→Wb→ νb ...

Sensitivity analysis of a neural network used for the forecasting of electric power load
(1999)A feedforward multilayer neural network has been used for the estimation of the four-hour-ahead electric load in Power Plant in the island of Crete. An attempt was made to use few variables for the input vector, while ...

Specification and sensitivity analysis of cross-country growth regressions
(2002)We compare the sensitivity analysis of cross-country growth regressions based on extreme bounds analysis to a more direct specification testing approach using non-nested hypotheses tests. The results suggest that those ...
