The current standard of treatment for hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a combination of two drugs: pegylated interferon and ribavirin. The virological response rate, treatment duration, and ribavirin dose vary according to several prognostic factors: genotype, baseline HCV RNA (viral load), race, body weight, age, and liver histology. In one study, 48 weeks of pegylated interferon plus ribavirin led ...

it is shown that every  almost linear bijection $h : arightarrow b$ of a unital $c^*$-algebra $a$ onto a unital$c^*$-algebra $b$ is a $c^*$-algebra isomorphism when $h(3^n u y) = h(3^n u) h(y)$ for allunitaries  $u in a$, all $y in a$, and all $nin mathbb z$, andthat almost linear continuous bijection $h : a rightarrow b$ of aunital $c^*$-algebra $a$ of real rank zero onto a unital$c^*$-algebra...

longitudinal  study  plays  an  important  role  in  the  epidemiological,  clinical,  and  social  science studies. in these kinds of studies, every individual is observed frequently during a period of time. the statistical analysis of longitudinal presents special opportunities  and challenges. the repeated outcomes for one individual tend to be correlated among themselves also one of the pro...

The ensembles of simple Bayesian classifiers have traditionally not been a focus of research. The reason is that simple Bayes is an extremely stable learning algorithm and most ensemble techniques such as bagging is mainly variance reduction techniques, thus not being able to benefit from its integration. However, simple Bayes can be effectively used in ensemble techniques, which perform also b...

The problem of incomplete and noisy information in profile reconstruction from neutron reflectometry data is considered. In particular methods of Bayesian statistics in combination with modelling or inverse scattering techniques are considered in order to properly include the required a priori knowledge to obtain quantitatively reliable estimates of the reconstructed profiles. Applying Bayes th...

Student potential cannot only be measured based on the result of academic scores, and many things influence student determination. The purpose this research is to prove that students' influenced by things, such as character, activity, socioeconomic status, distance residence. By using naïve Bayes method testing with confusion matrix, it will give results for research. data from V-grade students...

Study of smut fungi on Liliaceae resulted to propose a new genus and three new combinations: Vankya Ershad, type V. ornithogali (Schmidt et Kunze) Ershad, based on Uredo ornithogali Schmidt et Kunze, V. heufleri (Fuckel) Ershad, based on Ustilago heufleri Fuckel, and V. vaillantii (L.-R. et C. Tulasne) Ershad, based on Ustilago vaillantii L.-R. et C. Tulasne.

Let X be a random variable taking values in a compact Riemannian manifold without boundary, and let Y be a discrete random variable valued in {0; 1} which represents a classification label. We introduce a kernel rule for classification on the manifold based on n independent copies of (X, Y ). Under mild assumptions on the bandwidth sequence, it is shown that this kernel rule is consistent in th...
