Estimation of dynamical model parameters taking into account undetectable marker values

Estimation of dynamical model parameters taking into account undetectable marker values

BACKGROUND Mathematical models are widely used for studying the dynamic of infectious agents such as hepatitis C virus (HCV). Most often, model parameters are estimated using standard least-square procedures for each individual. Hierarchical models have been proposed in such applications. However, another issue is the left-censoring (undetectable values) of plasma viral load due to the lack of ...

Taking Handicap into Account: Systemic Features

Because of many features of handicap, such as the number of actors and interactions, the complexity of the field, handicap must be considered from a system point of view, and dealt with as any system. That makes it possible to build a comprehensive response to the question of the inclusion and full citizenship of people with disabilities, better than some fragmentary solutions often proposed. T...

Analysing forensic processes: Taking time into account

A great deal of forensic psychology concerns sequences of behaviours or events. In this paper, we review some recent efforts to examine forensic issues as sequences, discuss some of the contemporary methodologies involved, and highlight some of the lessons that emerge from this research. Specifically, we show: (i) how research on public violence has benefited from studying incidents as patterns...

Opinion Mining: Taking into account the Criteria!

Today we are more and more provided with information expressing opinions about different topics. In the same way, the number of Web sites giving a global score, usually by counting the number of stars for instance, is also growing extensively and this kind of tools can be very useful for users interested by having a general idea. Nevertheless, sometimes the expressed score (e.g. the number of s...
