Longer-term growth prediction using GAUSS

Longer-term growth prediction using GAUSS.

In several areas of biomedicine, one needs to predict future measurements for a growing individual on the basis of longitudinal data. Here we consider the problem of estimating the values of a given measurement for a particular individual at T-T* points in time, given T* observations on that individual, and all T values for a sample of N "similar" individuals. This extends our previous discussi...

Variable Prediction Steps and Longer Term Prediction

It is usual to model the dynamics of an observed time series by building a model F (x t) = x t+1 + e t of a map. Generally F is constructed so that P e 2 t is minimal (often subject to some constraint on F which will avoid over-tting). One may obtain a prediction further into the future by iterating F. In this paper we propose alternative formulations to build a function G(x t ;) = x t+ + e t;;...

Prediction of longer-term outcome of treatment-resistant depression in tertiary care.

BACKGROUND Systematic studies on the outcome of treatment-resistant depression are scarce. AIMS To describe the longer-term outcome and predictors of outcome in treatment-resistant depression. METHOD Out of 150 patients approached, 118 participants with confirmed treatment-resistant depression (unipolar, n = 77; bipolar, n = 27; secondary, n = 14) treated in a specialist in-patient centre w...

Stringy Sphalerons and Gauss–Bonnet Term

The effect of the Gauss–Bonnet term on the SU(2) non–Abelian regular stringy sphaleron solutions is studied within the non–perturbative treatment. It is found that the existence of regular solutions depends crucially on the value of the numerical factor β in front of the Gauss–Bonnet term in the four–dimensional effective action. Numerical solutions are constructed in the N = 1, 2, 3 cases for ...
