Cec Syndrome –A Rare Manifestation of Coeliac Disease

Editor, We report a case of incomplete CEC syndrome, a rare condition comprising coeliac disease and bilateral occipital calcification. There are no previous published reports of CEC syndrome in Northern Ireland. Case Report: A thirty-six year old lady presented following two episodes of facial numbness of ten minutes duration, one of which was associated with blurred vision. There was a three-...

Introduction to Cross-Entropy Clustering The R Package CEC

The R Package CEC Kamieniecki and Spurek (2014) performs clustering based on the cross–entropy clustering (CEC) method, which was recently developed with the use of information theory. The main advantage of CEC is that it combines the speed and simplicity of k-means with the ability to use various Gaussian mixture models and reduce unnecessary clusters. In this work we present a practical tutor...

Testing Gaussian Process Surrogates on CEC'2013 Multi-Modal Benchmark

This paper compares several Gaussian-processbased surrogate modeling methods applied to black-box optimization by means of the Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategy (CMA-ES), which is considered state-of-the-art in the area of continuous black-box optimization. Among the compared methods are the Modelassisted CMA-ES, the Robust Kriging Metamodel CMAES, and the Surrogate CMA-ES. In add...
