We investigated the comparative performance of Frequency Domain Regression (FDR) and Support Vector Regression (SVR) for time-series prediction of Rossman Store Sales. Due to the extent of the data variables provided, SVR clearly outperformed FDR. Within SVR, our results reviewed that a polynomial kernel with regularization is most effective.

In this Chapter, we further highlight the difficulties to combat the problems of change with conventional techniques, in view of maintenance and evolution challenges discussed in Chapter 1. We also briefly preview some of the remedies to fight these problems using unconventional approaches. With emphasis on complexity inherent in software, we focus on the following problems: Poor visibility of ...

MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a multicentre, retrospective, chart review study. In all patients, basal insulin was switched to IDeg at least 6 months before the start of data col...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to analyse the additional treatment costs of acute patients admitted to a Danish hospital who suffered an adverse event (AE) during in-hospital treatment. METHODS A matched case-control design was utilised. Using a combination of trigger words and patient record reviews 91 patients exposed to AEs were identified. Controls were identified among patients adm...

PURPOSE To evaluate preliminary data on clinical outcomes associated with timing of placement of single implant-supported provisional crowns and implants in augmented bone. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty patients underwent sinus elevation bone grafting followed by a 6-month healing period before implant placement and immediate placement of a provisional crown (group [G] 1); 20 patients received...
