Exchange rate data possesses time-series features such as a trend. Based on convolutional neural network (CNN) deep learning algorithm, which has the advantages of detecting patterns, extracting effective features, finding interdependence time series data, and its computational efficiency, this paper proposes with dropout model-based approach to model forecast exchange rates. In meantime, uses ...

Despite requirements of and support for universal education up to grade 9, there are concerning reports that poor rural areas in China suffer from high andmaybe even rising dropout rates. Although aggregated statistics from the Ministry of Education show almost universal compliance with the 9-year compulsory education law, there have been few independent, survey-based studies regarding dropout ...

INTRODUCTION Studies examining mental health treatment dropout have primarily focused on Western populations and less so on Asian samples. The current study explored the prevalence and correlates of mental health treatment dropout across the various healthcare sectors in Singapore. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data was utilised from the Singapore Mental Health Study (SMHS), a cross-sectional epidemi...

BACKGROUND Retention in treatment is often highlighted as one of the key indicators of success in opioid maintenance treatment (OMT). AIMS To identify factors associated with long-term retention in opioid maintenance treatment and to analyse predictors of subsequent treatment episodes. METHODS Treatment retention and re-entry were examined for a national cohort of patients admitted to OMT i...

1 2 BACKGROUND In the context of changing admissions criteria and an expanding medical school intake in the UK, we analyse the determinants of the medical school dropout probability. AIMS To analyse the determinants of the probability that a student will drop out of medical school during their first year. To compare the results of this analysis over time. there was a substantial increase both i...

PURPOSE To describe dropout rates for the intent-to-treat and per protocol analyses from prospective clinical trials. METHODS Review of prospective multi-center parallel studies of 100 patients or more from 1996 onwards. RESULTS We identified 33 articles (70 treatment arms) that fit the criteria for this study. No statistical differences in dropout rates were observed among drug classes for...

BACKGROUND Immunization against childhood diseases is one of the most important ways of preventing childhood morbidity and mortality. AIMS The objective of this study is to review the dropout rates of immunization of children in a health center using a single dose of diphtheria-pertussis-tetanus (DPT1) and three doses of diphtheria-pertussis-tetanus (DPT3) vaccine. SUBJECTS AND METHODS This...

A growing number of population genetic studies utilize nuclear DNA microsatellite data from museum specimens and noninvasive sources. Genotyping errors are elevated in these low quantity DNA sources, potentially compromising the power and accuracy of the data. The most conservative method for addressing this problem is effective, but requires extensive replication of individual genotypes. In se...

OBJECTIVES Intravenous drug use accounts for most of the new hepatitis C infections worldwide. Although there is an urgent need for antiviral treatment of infected intravenous drug users (IDUs), several factors compromise their treatment including lack of treatment adherence and high dropout rate. The aim of this study was to compare antiviral treatment-related problems among former IDUs to HCV...
