In this article we introduce Random Survival Forests, an ensemble tree method for the analysis of right censored survival data. As is well known, constructing ensembles from base learners, such as trees, can significantly improve learning performance. Recently, Breiman showed that ensemble learning can be further improved by injecting randomization into the base learning process, a method calle...

This paper describes a system for detecting and estimating the properties of multiple travel lanes in an urban road network from calibrated video imagery and laser range data acquired by a moving vehicle. The system operates in real-time in several stages on multiple processors, fusing detected road markings, obstacles, and curbs into a stable non-parametric estimate of nearby travel lanes. The...

Very few lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) have been caught in the act of transferring lipids in vivo from a donor membrane to an acceptor membrane. Now, two studies (Halter, D., S. Neumann, S.M. van Dijk, J. Wolthoorn, A.M. de Maziere, O.V. Vieira, P. Mattjus, J. Klumperman, G. van Meer, and H. Sprong. 2007. J. Cell Biol. 179:101-115; D'Angelo, G., E. Polishchuk, G.D.
