Step Ahead

Results: There was no impact of the intervention on change in BMI from baseline to 12 ( 0.272; 95% CI 0.271, 0.782) or 24 months ( 0.276; 95% CI 0.338, 0.890) in intention-to-treat analysis. When intervention exposure (scale 0 to 100) was used as the independent variable, there was a decrease of 0.012 BMI units (95% CI 0.025, 0.001) for each unit increase in intervention participation at the 24...

One step ahead forecasting using

When dealing with time series the one step ahead forecasting problem based on experimental data is the problem of estimating the autoregression function of the underlying process When minimizing the expected forecast ing error is the main goal the exible approach has to be used to be able to adjust the complexity of the model to the complexity of the data Multilay ered perceptrons are a popular...

Tissue Engineering: Step Ahead in Maxillofacial Reconstruction

Within the precedent decade, a new field of "tissue engineering" or "tissue regeneration" emerge that offers an innovative and exhilarating substitute for maxillofacial reconstruction. It offers a new option to supplement existing treatment regimens for reconstruction/regeneration of the oral and craniofacial complex, which includes the teeth, periodontium, bones, soft tissues (oral mucosa, con...

Wavelets in Multi-step-ahead Forecasting

This paper investigates the possibility of obtaining long-into-the-future reliable forecasts of observed nonlinear cyclical phenomena. Unsmoothed monthly sunspot numbers that are characteristically cyclical with nonlinear dynamics as well as their wavelet-transformed and wavelet-denoised series are forecasted through October 2008. The objective is to determine whether modelling wavelet-conversi...

A Step Ahead? Experienced Play in the P-Beauty Game

In the "p-beauty" contest, contestants choose a number between zero and 100 and the winner is the player who selects the number that is closest to some fraction p of the average chosen by the group. While the Nash equilibrium is for all players to choose 0, subjects frequently display bounded rationality by choosing numbers that are substantially higher. However, as the game is repeated, player...
