In this study, we propose a multistage neural network metalearning technique for financial time series predication. First of all, an interval sampling technique is used to generate different training subsets. Based on the different training subsets, the different neural network models with different training subsets are then trained to formulate different base models. Subsequently, to improve t...

This paper is concerned with pool-based active learning for deep neural networks. Motivated by coreset dataset compression ideas, we present a novel active learning algorithm that queries consecutive points from the pool using farthest-first traversals in the space of neural activation over a representation layer. We show consistent and overwhelming improvement in sample complexity over passive...

Background: The complexity of services that nurses must provide nowadays encourages to develop their moral courage. A review the literature reveals no studies have been conducted evaluate association between clinical nurse tenure and level courage.
 Objectives: this study is assess correlation Methods: analytic survey research at 5 hospitals in Makassar, including private government with a...

Obesity, especially in pregnant women, could cause many health problems regarding both the individual and baby related to tendency not exclusively breastfeed future. This study aim know association between maternal obesity exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) practice. was an observational analytic (non-experiment) with a historical cohort design, carried out November 2018-June 2019. The population al...

BACKGROUND The detrimental effects of partially hydrogenated vegetable oils (PHVOs) on apolipoproteins have been reported from several parts of the world. However, little data is available in this regard from the understudied region of the Middle East. The present study therefore tried to evaluate the association between type of vegetable oils and serum lipids and apolipoprotein levels among Ir...

Background. In addition to beneficial traditional practices, there are around 140 harmful traditional practices affecting mothers and children in almost all ethnic groups of Ethiopia. Therefore this study might give a clue about their practice and associated factors. The objective of this study was to assess magnitude of harmful traditional practices among children less than 5 years of age in A...

In this paper, we have established a new framework of multistage hypothesis tests. Within the new framework, we have developed specific multistage tests which guarantee prescribed level of power and are more efficient than previous tests in terms of average sampling number and the number of sampling operations. Without truncation, the maximum sampling numbers of our testing plans are absolutely...
