This study aimed to investigate the success factors of bone lid surgery technique in maxillofacial region. A retrospective cohort was performed on 30 patients who underwent between January 2014 and December 2019 at our hospital. The predictor variables consisted clinical that were classified as attribute (age sex), health status (smoking alcohol intake), anatomical (maxillary/mandibular site, l...

We describe the use of smoothing spline analysis of variance (SSANOVA) in the penalized log likelihood context, for learning (estimating) the probability p of a '1' outcome, given a training set with attribute vectors and outcomes. p is of the form pet) = eJ(t) /(1 + eJ(t)), where, if t is a vector of attributes, f is learned as a sum of smooth functions of one attribute plus a sum of smooth fu...

We address the problem of learning qualitative relations in categorical domains. We propose an algorithm that observes the change of probability of a target class w.r.t. the change in the values of the selected attribute for each learning example. We generalize the notion of a partial derivative by defining the probabilistic discrete qualitative partial derivative (PDQ PD). PDQ PD is a qualitat...

spectral decomposition is a powerful tool for analysis of seismic data. fourier transform determines the frequency contents of a signal. but for analysis of non-stationary signals, 1-d transform to frequency domain is not sufficient. in early years, transforming of seismic traces into time and frequency domain was done via windowed fourier transform, called a short time fourier transform (stft)...
