Objective: To evaluate the effect o f reflexo logy on symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS) in a randomized, sham-contro lled clinical tr ial. Methods: Seventy-one MS patients were randomized to either study or contro l group, to receive an 11-week treatment. Reflexology treatment included manual pressure on specific points in the feet and massage of the calf area. The contro l group received non...

The significance of count data modeling and its applications to real-world phenomena have been highlighted in several research studies. present study focuses on a two-parameter discrete distribution that can be obtained by compounding the Poisson extended exponential distributions. It has tractable explicit forms for statistical properties. maximum likelihood estimation method is used estimate ...

Augmented reality is the art to seamlessly fuse virtual objects into real ones. In this short note, we address the opposite problem, the inverse augmented reality, that is, given a perfectly augmented reality scene where human is unable to distinguish real objects from virtual ones, how the machine could help do the job. We show by structure from motion (SFM), a simple 3D reconstruction techniq...

World Health Organization (WHO) noted Indonesia as the country with the highest dengue (DHF) cases in Southeast Asia. There are no vaccine and specific treatment for DHF. One of the efforts which can be done by both government and resident is doing a prevention action. In statistics, there are some methods to predict the number of DHF cases to be used as the reference to prevent the DHF cases. ...

In this paper we introduce a Bayesian nonparametric methodology for producing coherent predictions of count time series using the INAR(1) process. Our predictions are based on estimates of the p-step ahead predictive mass functions assuming a nonparametric prior for the distribution of the error term having large support on the space of discrete probability mass functions. An efficient Gibbs sa...
