Time-dependent data collected in studies of Alzheimer's disease usually has missing and irregularly sampled points. For this reason time series methods which assume regular sampling cannot be applied directly to the without a pre-processing step. In paper we use random forest learn relationship between pairs points at different separations. The input vector is summary history it includes both demographic non-time varying variables such as genetic data. To test method from TADPOLE grand...
Accurate prediction of progression in subjects at risk Alzheimer's disease is crucial for enrolling the right clinical trials. However, a prospective comparison state-of-the-art algorithms predicting onset and currently lacking. We present findings "The Disease Prediction Of Longitudinal Evolution" (TADPOLE) Challenge, which compared performance 92 from 33 international teams future trajectory 219 individuals disease. Challenge participants were required to make prediction, each month 5-year...
Bipolar disorder is characterized by recurrent episodes of mania and depression affects about 1% the adult population. The condition can have a major impact on an individual's ability to function associated with long-term risk suicide. In this paper, we report use self-rated mood data forecast next week's ratings. used in study been collected using SMS text messaging comprises one time series approximately weekly ratings for each patient. We find wide variation between series: some exhibit...
The path signature is a means of feature generation that can encode nonlinear interactions in the data as well usual linear features. It distinguish ordering time-sequenced changes: for example whether or not hippocampus shrinks fast, then slowly converse. provides interpretable features and its output fixed length vector irrespective number input points so it longitudinal varying with missing points. In this paper we demonstrate providing to set people Alzheimer's disease from matched...
The nature of mood variation in bipolar disorder has been the subject relatively little research because detailed time series data difficult to obtain until recently. However some papers have addressed and claimed presence deterministic chaos stochastic nonlinear dynamics. This study uses collected from eight outpatients using a telemonitoring system. dynamics is investigated surrogate techniques forecasting. For analysis, forecast error reversal asymmetry statistics are used. original...
Abstract Background: Nursing, like many disciplines in university settings, is experiencing increasing demand for online courses. Development and implementation of courses with the quality education nursing students experience traditional classroom essential to maintaining integrity educational process. Nursing research has been offered format RN‐BSN programme 2 years. This course an average enrolment 80 90 each semester. Purpose: article presents strategies used teaching online....
The purpose of this analysis was to provide psychometric information related the Breast Cancer Prevention Trial (BCPT) Symptom Checklist in women with breast cancer prior initiation adjuvant therapy and 6 months post-initiation therapy.This investigation a secondary baseline data from Anastrozole Use Menopausal Women (AIM) Study (R01 CA 107408). used study were obtained diagnosed Stage I, II, IIIa who received that included chemotherapy alone, anastrozole plus anastrozole. Data examined...
We analyse time series from 100 patients with bipolar disorder for correlates of depression symptoms. As the sampling interval is non-uniform, we quantify extent missing and irregular data using new measures compliance continuity. find that uniformity response negatively correlated standard deviation sleep ratings (ρ = -0.26, p 0.01). To investigate correlation structure themselves, apply Edelson-Krolik method estimation. examine between symptoms a subset self-reported appetite/weight show...
The survival of patients with Wilms tumors has improved dramatically during the last few decades. In contrast, bilateral form disease, especially when are not concurrent, is still considered by many to hold a much worse prognosis. A review 50 cases reported 20 years reveals that metachronous in parallel unilateral disease and, matched for extent tumor spread, survivals decade almost identical those synchronous and tumors.
This paper presents a predictive coding account of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). We extend the model to include concept 'formal narrative', or temporal sequence cognitive states inferred from sense data. propose that human cognition uses hierarchy narratives predict changes in natural and social environment. Each layer represents distinct view world, but it also contributes global unitary perspective. suggest perspective remains intact OCD there is dysfunction at sub-linguistic level...
In the above titled paper (ibid., vol. 59, no. 10, pp. 2801-2807, Oct. 2012), there were errors in equation (1) and some parts of text. Corrections are presented here.
This paper gives an explanatory framework for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) based on a generative model of cognition. The is constructed using the new concept 'formal narrative' which sequence cognitive states inferred from sense data. First we propose that human cognition uses hierarchy narratives to predict changes in natural and social environment. Each layer represents distinct 'view world', but it also contributes global unitary perspective. Second, models used inference can...
A new chip set, implementing the SMPTE 259M serial digital standard, features a modular architecture, making it usable in wide range of applications. The set consists single encoder, quad output DC-restoring cable driver, automatic equalizer with signal strength indicator, receiver, and decoder standards select. Four user-set data rates from 100 Mbits/sec to 400 are supported. is capable reporting correcting errors sync word. Discussions equalization technique implementation devices included...
Non-intrusive load monitoring (NILM) is the analysis of electricity loads by means a single supply wire, so avoiding separate monitors on individual appliances. Some approaches to NILM use V-I trajectory for feature generation but they apply ad-hoc rules generate vector. This paper demonstrates systematic method called path signature which has recently been applied in machine learning, often with notable success. We show how generates features from give test set accuracy 98.81% COOLL...
In 1975, 489 nurses with a dedication to oncology nursing joined the Oncology Nursing Society (ONS) as charter members. Today, ONS has more than 29 000 members dedicated care of patient cancer. May 2000, celebrated its 25th anniversary in San Antonio, Texas, 5000 and other healthcare providers attendance. Educational programmes offering every level information from very basic advanced were presented attendees could obtain many 26.4 continuing education units while learning. But Congress is...
As digital video installations become larger and more complex, there is a growing need to monitor the quality of numerous serial links making up communication infrastructure. The SMPTE has approved method meet this in recent recommended practice, RP 165. Commonly called “Error Detection Handling (EDH),” 165 describes means for ensuring integrity video, audio, ancillary data transmitted over interface (SDI). GS9001, new integrated circuit (IC) under development, implements practical,...
