Evolving neural networks: Is it really worth the effort?
The idea of using simulated evolution to create neural networks that learn faster and generalize better is becoming increasingly widespread. However, such evolutionary processes are usually extremely computationally intensive. In this paper, I present an empirical study to investigate whether the improved performance obtained really does justify the extra effort, and whether it might be possibl...
متن کاملImaging of parathyroid lesions with radionuclides - Is it worth doing?
Parathyroid adenomas, or hyperplasia may be present in patients with hypercalcemia. Treatment Is by surgical excision, but about 10% of the lesions may be In ectopic locations. Pre-operative localization of the lesions with non-lvasive imaging, using radionuclides, ultrasound, CT, or MR], may simplify surgery, and reduce patient morbidity. However, the reports of the accuracy of the curre...
متن کاملMultivariate meta-analysis – is it worth the extra effort
Traditionally, meta-analysis models combine summary estimates of a single quantitative endpoint, taken from different studies, to produce a single pooled result to aid evidence-based clinical decision-making. Multiple pooled results are required when there are multiple endpoints of interest across studies, such as multiple outcomes (e.g. overall and disease-free survival), multiple time-points ...
متن کاملMultivariate linear mixed models for multiple outcomes.
We propose a multivariate linear mixed (MLMM) for the analysis of multiple outcomes, which generalizes the latent variable model of Sammel and Ryan. The proposed model assumes a flexible correlation structure among the multiple outcomes, and allows a global test of the impact of exposure across outcomes. In contrast to the Sammel-Ryan model, the MLMM separates the mean and correlation parameter...
متن کاملparallel import: is it worth?
one of the most important duties of government in public health sector is to provide secured sources for medicines supply. there are some regulations for domestic pharmaceutical industry. in addition, there is a discipline for importing medicine to be ensured about their claimed characteristics. in medicines registration process, moh (fdo in iran) assess ‘safety’, ‘quality’ and ‘efficacy’ of me...
