Experimental studies investigating the effects of endocrine disruptors frequently identify potential unconventional dose-response relationships called non-monotonic dose-response (NMDR) relationships. Standardized approaches for investigating NMDR relationships in a risk assessment context are missing. The aim of this work was to develop criteria for assessing the strength of NMDR relationships...

Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) is firmly rooted in an alternative concept of optimality where multiple (rather than single) criteria characterize the notion of “the best” (or optimal), as is prevalent in the areas of economics, engineering, management and business. These are often constrained problems where search for an optimal solution requires some form of evaluating criteria perfo...

Absorption of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) after s.c. injection results from the interplay among several kinetic processes. The aims of this study were to investigate the absorption mechanisms of rituximab in rats by using slow s.c. infusion and coadministration with nonspecific IgG or hyaluronidase, and to evaluate the predictive performance of the pharmacokinetic model previously developed to...

In this paper we train a logistic regression function for two forms of link prediction among a set of 244 suspected terrorists in a social network. We train and test on a dataset created at the University of Maryland and further modified at UCSD by Eric Doi and Ke Tang [2]. The supposed terrorists have several labels for the nature of their links to other supposed terrorists; terrorists are cla...
