Machine Learning Techniques for the Evaluation of External Skeletal Fixation Structures
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this thesis we compare several machine learning techniques for evaluating external skeletal fixation proposals. We experimented in the context of dog bone fractures but the potential applications are numerous. Decision trees tend to give both binary and multiple-class predictions quickly and accurately. The classifier system method does worse due to the small size of the data set and missing values. The use of Artificial Neural Networks is promising, although it takes considerable time in training. A Genetic Algorithm is also employed to find the best parameters of the Neural Network. Experimental results for the different methods are presented and compared. Index words: External Skeletal Fixation, Decision Tree, Classifier System, Artificial Neural Network, Genetic Algorithm.

Treatment of Open Tibial Fractures: Convert-ing or Continuing External Fixation?
Background: The treatment of open tibial fractures is still an orthopaedic challenge and full of complications. In many cases the use of external fixator that has been known as a non-union machine is obligatory with a high incidence of pin track infection and other complications. The aim of this study was to compare the use of external fixation as a definite method for treatment of open tibial ...
متن کاملApplication of ensemble learning techniques to model the atmospheric concentration of SO2
In view of pollution prediction modeling, the study adopts homogenous (random forest, bagging, and additive regression) and heterogeneous (voting) ensemble classifiers to predict the atmospheric concentration of Sulphur dioxide. For model validation, results were compared against widely known single base classifiers such as support vector machine, multilayer perceptron, linear regression and re...
