Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is a retina disorder, which is currently on the increase. In this paper, we investigate the use two different statistical methods for detecting AMD in Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) volumetric data where by a 3-D image is represented using a combination of two matrices: a Voxel Co-occurrence Matrix (VCM) and a Voxel Run-Length Matrix (VRLM). Statistica...

PURPOSE Although change in standardized uptake value (SUV) measures and PET-based textural features during treatment have shown promise in tumor response prediction, it is unclear which quantitative measure is the most predictive. We compared the relationship between PET-based features and pathologic response and overall survival with the SUV measures in esophageal cancer. METHODS Fifty-four ...

there are miscellaneous quality characteristics in healthcare which are interested to be monitored. however, monitoring each characteristic needs a special statistical method. there are some characteristics with very small incidence rates that it’s usually considered not to be necessary to monitoring them, since their incidence rates are so small that p and np charts are not able to monitor the...

We report some results on deterministic algorithms for efficient management of matrix groups over finite fields. Our results generalize Luks’s work on solvable matrix groups to wider classes of matrix groups. In this article, we present algorithms for membership-testing and its closely related problems. The algorithms run deterministically in time polynomial in these three parameters: the input...
