The aim of this study was to examine the influence of propensity to risk taking, impulsivity, and present versus future orientation in decisionmaking under ambiguity. One hundred and four healthy adults were administered the computer versions of the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT) and the Balloon Analogue Risk Task (BART). They then completed the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS-11) and the Considerat...

Background: Catastrophizing, when an individual overestimates the probability of a severe negative outcome, is related to various aspects mental ill-health.

We present a new package in R implementing Bayesian additive regression trees (BART). The package introduces many new features for data analysis using BART such as variable selection, interaction detection, model diagnostic plots, incorporation of missing data and the ability to save trees for future prediction. It is significantly faster than the current R implementation, parallelized, and cap...

BART, a software bus, was designed to provide flexibility in the development of software systems by promoting component independence. This framework allows components to be constructed independent of the context in which they are to be used, thereby allowing them to be reused in many different situations. Our experience using BART to prototype a system that supports group collaboration between ...
