NEW DIRECTION IN FUZZY TREE AUTOMATA
In this paper, our focus of attention is the proper propagationof fuzzy degrees in determinization of $Nondeterministic$ $Fuzzy$$Finite$ $Tree$ $Automata$ (NFFTA). Initially, two determinizationmethods are introduced which have some limitations (one inbehavior preserving and other in type of fuzzy operations). Inorder to eliminate these limitations and increasing theefficiency of FFTA, we defin...
متن کاملCompositional Mediation Analysis for Microbiome Studies
Motivated by recent advances in causal inference on mediation analysis and problems in the analysis of metagenomic data, we consider the effect of a treatment on an outcome transmitted through microbes, or compositional mediators. Compositional and high dimensional natures of such mediators make the standard mediation analysis not directly applicable. In this paper, we propose a method for esti...
متن کاملAnalysis of bronchial reactivity in epidemiological studies.
The measurement of bronchial reactivity in epidemiological studies has the advantage of quantifying an objective physiological feature of asthma. Bronchial reactivity was developed in a clinical setting and has been conventionally expressed as the dose of agonist producing a 20% fall in FEV1 (PD20). As PD20 can be estimated for less than 20% of subjects in general community surveys with the dos...
متن کاملMediation in experimental and nonexperimental studies: new procedures and recommendations.
Mediation is said to occur when a causal effect of some variable X on an outcome Y is explained by some intervening variable M. The authors recommend that with small to moderate samples, bootstrap methods (B. Efron & R. Tibshirani, 1993) be used to assess mediation. Bootstrap tests are powerful because they detect that the sampling distribution of the mediated effect is skewed away from 0. They...
متن کاملNew Insights into Handling Missing Values in Environmental Epidemiological Studies
Missing data are unavoidable in environmental epidemiologic surveys. The aim of this study was to compare methods for handling large amounts of missing values: omission of missing values, single and multiple imputations (through linear regression or partial least squares regression), and a fully Bayesian approach. These methods were applied to the PARIS birth cohort, where indoor domestic pollu...
