چکیده
Evolving classification models for prediction of patient recruitment in multicentre clinical trials using grammatical evolution Gilyana Borlikova, Michael Phillips, Louis Smith, Michael O'Neill Successful and timely completion of prospective clinical trials depends on patient recruitment as patients are critical to delivery of the prospective trial data. There exists a pressing need to develop better tools/techniques to optimise patient recruitment in multicentre clinical trials. In this study Grammatical Evolution (GE) is used to evolve classification models to predict future patient enrolment performance of investigators/site to be selected for the conduct of the trial. Prediction accuracy of the evolved models is compared with results of a range of machine learning algorithms widely used for classification. The results suggest that GE is able to successfully induce classification models and analysis of these models can help in our understanding of the factors providing advanced indication of a trial sites' future performance.

Estimation of Discharge over the Submerged Compound Sharp-Crested Weir using Artificial Neural Networks and Genetic Programming
Truncated sharp crested weirs are used to measure flow rate and control upstream water surface in irrigation canals and laboratory flumes. The main advantages of such weirs are ease of construction and capability of measuring a wide range of flows with sufficient accuracy. Artificial neural networks (ANNs) and genetic programming (GP) have recently been used for estimation of hydraulic data. In...
متن کاملAn Efficient Genetic Algorithm for Task Scheduling on Heterogeneous Computing Systems Based on TRIZ
An efficient assignment and scheduling of tasks is one of the key elements in effective utilization of heterogeneous multiprocessor systems. The task scheduling problem has been proven to be NP-hard is the reason why we used meta-heuristic methods for finding a suboptimal schedule. In this paper we proposed a new approach using TRIZ (specially 40 inventive principles). The basic idea of thi...
متن کاملA Comparative Study of Genetic Programming and Grammatical Evolution for Evolving Data Structures
The research presented in the paper forms part of a larger initiative aimed at automatic algorithm induction using machine learning. This paper compares the performance of two machine learning techniques, namely, genetic programming and a variation of genetic programming, grammatical evolution, for automatic algorithm induction. The application domain used to evaluate both the approaches is the...
