This paper is a continuation of our previous work on Pearson’s coefficient r and we discuss here the concept of the Spearman correlation coefficient and the Kendall correlation coefficient between Atanassov’s intuitionistic fuzzy sets (A-IFSs, for short) to measure the degree of association between the A-IFSs when the assumption that the data distributions are normal is not valid or when data a...

Gene function annotations are paramount in bioinformatics, and computational methods able to predict them provide a fundamental contribution. Several machine learning algorithms for this purpose are available today, although their relevant parameters might strongly influence the output list of predicted annotations. Here, we propose a method to evaluate this issue by introducing two list correl...

patients and methods this cross-sectional study included a total of 120 adult predialysis ckd patients. forty patients were allocated in each predialysis ckd group of stages 3, 4, and 5. serum ctnt and hs-crp, plasma nt-probnp, and single spot urine albumin creatinine ratio (acr) were measured. ultrasonographic examination of carotid artery was done with 7.5 mhz linear probe in b mode ultrasono...

BACKGROUND Efforts to improve the diagnosis, prognosis and surveillance of prostate cancer (PCa) are relevant. Gleason score (GSc) overestimation may subject individuals to unnecessary aggressive treatment. We aimed to use stereology in PCa evaluations and investigate whether mean nuclear volume (MNV) correlates with the Gleason primary pattern (Gpp) and to improve the subjective GSc to obtain ...

This paper briefly reviews the most frequently used and misused intraclass correlation analysis of variance (ANOVA) reliability measures. Recommendations are made for the one-way ANOVA intraclass correlation and against the use of several coefficients: Winer's so-called "anchor point method," KuderRichardson Formula Number 20, and the Spearman-Brown prediction formula. The computation of the in...

A sample of sixty-seven pyrimidine derivatives with inhibitory activity on E. coli dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) was studied by the use of molecular descriptors family on structure-activity relationships. Starting from the results obtained by applying of MDF-SAR methodology on pyrimidine derivatives and from the assumption that the measured activity (compounds’ inhibitory activity) of a biolog...

E-mail is the most prevalent methods for correspondence because of its availability, quick message exchange and low sending cost. Spam mail appears as a serious issue influencing this application today's internet. Spam may contain suspicious URL’s, or may ask for financial information as money exchange information or credit card details. Here comes the scope of filtering spam from legitimate em...
