Fractures of the neck of femur under the age of 14 years are so rare that few surgeons have much experience with them. Hamilton (1961) predicted that an orthopaedic surgeon would see one case in a lifetime, Quinlan et al (1980) reviewing the literature from 1885 when the first case was reported, say that it is 130 to 200 times less common than in adults. They found the largest personal series t...

The aim of this paper is to present a method for identifying the structure of a rule in a fuzzy model. For this purpose, an ATMS shall be used (Zurita 1994). An a. lgorithm obtaining the identification of the structure will be suggested (Castro 1995). The minimal structure of the rule (with re­ spect to the number of variables that must appear in the rule) will be found by this al­ gorithm. Fur...

Some of the most significant Supreme Court decisions have, in recent years, been based upon a constitutionally protected right of privacy; that is, an individual's right to be free from unwarranted intrusions into his personal affairs. This constitutionally protected right of privacy was first used to protect an individual's rights to use contraceptives, under the theory that the state enforcem...

In this paper, we address Privacy-preserving classification problem in a multi-party sense. We focus the general classification in a secured manner and introduce a Privacy-preserving decision tree classifier using C4.5 algorithm without involving third party. C4.5 algorithm is a software extension of the basic ID3 algorithm designed by Quinlan. Our protocol is considerably more efficient than a...

The Journal of Neuroscience has received a report describing an investigation by Memorial University, which found substantial data misrepresentation in the article “Bidirectional Dopaminergic Modulation of Excitatory Synaptic Transmission in Orexin Neurons” by Christian O. Alberto, Robert B. Trask, Michelle E. Quinlan, and Michiru Hirasawa, which appeared on pages 10043–10050 of the September 2...

The 1960s included the earliest discussion on an inductive approach towards the construction of a decision tree for the classification of objects that are described by attributes (Hunt, Marin, & Stone, 1966). It is not until over a decade later that the popularization of the decision tree method was materialized with the introduction of what developed into the Interactive Dichotomizer 3 (Quinla...
