We present a Bayesian approach to predict the clustering of opinions for system interacting agents from partial observations. The formulation overcomes unobservability and quantifies uncertainty in prediction. characterize by posterior clusters’ sizes centers, we represent samples. To overcome challenge sampling high-dimensional posterior, introduce an auxiliary implicit (AIS) algorithm using t...

BACKGROUND Different kinds of physical activity (PA) self-monitoring technologies are used today to monitor and motivate PA behavior change. The user focus is essential in the development process of this technology, including potential future users such as representatives from the group of non-users. There is also a need to study whether there are differences between the groups of users and non...

Uncertain partial differential equation is a type of partial differential equation driven by Liu processes. This paper first provides two methods for solving the first order linear uncertain partial differential equation and the inverse uncertainty distribution of solution is discussed. Moreover, on the basis of the study of uncertainty theory and the propagation process of internet public opin...

Over the past 5 years, a small group of cancer patients who stated their physicians had determined there were no additional available antineoplastic therapeutic options (including potential investigational strategies) were seen for a 'second opinion' in a cancer hospital-based oncology program and subsequently experienced what can reasonably be characterized as having achieved meaningful 'clini...
