Practice of Epidemiology Improving Mortality Prediction Using Biosocial Surveys
The authors used data from a nationally representative survey of 933 adults aged 54 years or older (mean age 1⁄4 66.2 years; standard deviation, 8.0) in Taiwan to explore whether mortality prediction at older ages is improved by the use of 3 clusters of biomarkers: 1) standard cardiovascular and metabolic risk factors; 2) markers of disease progression; and 3) nonclinical (neuroendocrine and im...
متن کاملPerinatal mortality surveys.
JOURNAL Perinatal mortality surveys "No phenomenon or stage in a sequence has only one cause; all antecedent stages are successive causes and as science has no reason to infer a first cause, the sequence of causes can be carried back to the limit of knowledge." These words from Karl Pearson's The Grammar of Science' are quoted in the report of what may well have been the first survey of individ...
متن کاملM Improving Mobility Prediction Using Data Mining
With the increase in the popularity of mobile devices, WLAN infrastructure planning has become significant for maintaining desired quality of service. Movement pattern of the user plays a key role in maintaining quality of service. Mobility prediction involves predicting the mobile device’s next access point as it moves through the wireless network. In this paper, we propose a new method for fe...
متن کاملImproving Relational Classification Using Link Prediction Techniques
In this paper, we address the problem of classifying entities belonging to networked datasets. We show that assortativity is positively correlated with classification performance and how we are able to improve classification accuracy by increasing the assortativity of the network. Our method to increase assortativity is based on modifying the weights of the edges using a scoring function. We ev...
متن کاملImproving Vertical Handoffs Using Mobility Prediction
The recent advances in wireless communications require integration of multiple network technologies in order to satisfy the increasing demand of mobile users. Mobility in such a heterogeneous environment entails that users keep moving between the coverage regions of different networks, which means that a non-trivial vertical handoff scheme is required in order to maintain a seamless transition ...
