PURPOSE This study investigated the correlation between isometric muscle strength, gross motor function, and gait parameters in patients with spastic cerebral palsy and to find which muscle groups play an important role for gait pattern in a flexed knee gait. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-four ambulatory patients (mean age, 10.0 years) with spastic cerebral palsy who were scheduled for single ...

heretofore, a vast spectrum of pattern recognition methods has been considered by researchers to design credit scoring models. but what has not been considered enough in these studies is the lack of consideration of the needs of this subject which differentiate it from a simple classification. it is necessary to observe the costs of a wrong classification, because practically the cost of improp...

credit scoring is a classification problem leading to introducing numerous techniques to deal with it such as support vector machines, neural networks and rule-based classifiers. rule bases are the top priority in credit decision making because of their ability to explicitly distinguish between good and bad applicants.in a credit- scoring context, imbalanced data sets frequently occur as the nu...

background: the present study was performed to develop a scoring system for predicting cure status in patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis (cl). materials and methods: this study included 199 patients with cl from skin diseases and leishmaniasis research center (isfahan, iran). data were collected as longitudinal in each visit of patients. we applied ordinal logistic generalized estimating equ...
