Microsurgery not only means working with the help of a surgical microscope. One of themajor advantages lies in the possibility to perform operations through small skin incisions (“keyhole surgery”). This needs meticulous preoperative planning, exact positioning of the patient, and reliable localization of the surgical target area in projection to the entry level on the skin surface.

A Short Introduction to Boosting

Boosting is a general method for improving the accuracy of any given learning algorithm. This short overview paper introduces the boosting algorithm AdaBoost, and explains the underlying theory of boosting, including an explanation of why boosting often does not suffer from overfitting as well as boosting’s relationship to support-vector machines. Some examples of recent applications of boostin...

A Short Introduction to WinBUGS

1 Why Bayesian analysis using MCMC is good for you 1. Has a very solid decision-theoretical framework 2. It is intuitive: a. Combines the prior distribution (prior beliefs and/or experience) with the likelihood (experiment) to obtain the posterior distribution (accumulated information). b. In this context knowledge is equivalent to distribution and knowledge precision can be quantified by the p...
