Large-scale Protein-Protein interaction data sets exist in Saccharomyces cerevisiae due to many interaction detection methods such as yeast two-hybrid assay, mass spectrometry of purified complexes, correlated mRNA expression profile and so on. How to make use of these data sets to understand the protein function is very important. We use the algorithm [17] developed by Stijn van Dongen to desc...

An important problem in discrete-event stochastic simulation is the selection of the best system from a finite set of alternatives. There are many techniques for ranking and selection and multiple comparisons discussed in the literature. Most procedures employ classical frequentist approaches, although there has been recent attention to Bayesian methods. In this paper, we compare Bayesian and f...

Cardiovascular complications are the main cause of death in people with diabetes, which if identified can lead to improved health. A non-invasive, clinical system for low-cost screening of diabetes mellitus (DM) is introduced and tested on patients with some known conditions. Data recorded on 20 Normal Control (NC) and 20 Diabetic mellitus. Lead II electrocardiogram (ECG) was recorded in three ...

Background: Jaundice is affecting over 60-80 percent of neonates in the first week of life. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, which is an important cause of pathologic hyperbilirubinemia, can lead to hemolytic anemia, jaundice and kernicterus. The present study was performed to determine the prevalence of G6PD deficiency among icteric neonates in Shirvan, Iran. Methods: This ...

The analysis of fuzzy(overlapping) community structure in complex networks is an important problem in data mining of network data sets. However, due to the exist of random factors and error edges in real networks, how to measure the significance of community structure efficiently is a crucial question. In this paper, we present a novel statistical framework comparing the significance of fuzzy c...

Background: Opioids have been used in the intraoperative and postoperative management in bariatric surgery patients. However, with the increasing use of Dexmedetomidine alpha2 stimulant, we designed this study to compare the intraoperative and early postoperative effects of both methods, regarding hemodynamic, respiratory, sedative effects and rate of morbidity. Methods: Eighty bariatric patien...

The Internet has provided IS researchers with the opportunity to conduct studies with extremely large samples, frequently well over 10,000 observations. There are many advantages to large samples, but researchers using statistical inference must be aware of the p-value problem associated with them. In very large samples, p-values go quickly to zero, and solely relying on pvalues can lead the re...

Several previous studies have investigated the gender difference of the fingerprint features. However, regarding to the statistical significance of such differences, inconsistent results have been obtained. To resolve this problem and to develop a method for gender determination, this work proposes and tests three fingertip features for gender determination. Fingerprints were obtained from 115 ...
