False Alarm Constrained Classification

In classification problems, the goal is often to maximize the probability of a true positive while satisfying a system design constraint on the number of false alarms. Current classifiers, which are based on minimizing classification error, achieve this goal indirectly by either shifting the bias of the resulting solution or via tuning of an asymmetry parameter. While these approaches may be us...

atualização Primary Aldosteronism – Actual Epidemics or False Alarm ?

The prevalence of ”primary aldosteronism” (PAL) cannot be precisely determined at this time, given 1) lack of a universally accepted definition, and 2) normotensive as well as normokalemic phases in the evolutionary development of a disease eventually characterized by hypertension and hypokalemia. The exception is fully genetically characterised forms such as glucocorticoid-suppressible hyperal...

False Alarm Reduction of Ground Penetrating Radar

In this work, we present a methodology for fusing high frequency and low frequency radar images. The goal of this system is to nd the strong surface clutter which is common to high and low frequency radar images and to subtract (defuse) this common component from the low frequency image to extract sub-surface information.
