Sequential optimality conditions provide adequate theoretical tools to justify stopping criteria for nonlinear programming solvers. Approximate KKT and Approximate Gradient Projection conditions are analyzed in this work. These conditions are not necessarily equivalent. Implications between different conditions and counter-examples will be shown. Algorithmic consequences will be discussed.

Forward regression has been criticised heavily and one of the many reasons is regarding its speed stopping criteria. The main focus this paper on demonstrating how to make it efficient, using R. Our method worksfor continuous predictor variables only, as use partial correlation plays most important role.

The notion of partial deduction known from logic programming is deened in the framework of Structural Synthesis of Programs (SSP). Partial deduction for unconditional computability statements in SSP is deened. Completeness and correctness of partial deduction in the framework of SSP are proven. Several tactics and stopping criteria are suggested.

Background The effectiveness of conservative treatment of scoliosis is controversial. Some studies suggest that brace is effective in stopping curve progression, whilst others did not report such an effect. The purpose of the present study was to effectiveness of PASB in the correction of lumbar curves, in agreement with the SRS Committee on Bracing and Nonoperative Management Standardisation C...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the response rate to vaccination in different treatment groups (nonimmunosuppressants and immunosuppressants). DATA SOURCES We completed an online systematic search using PubMed to identify all articles published in English between January 1990 and December 2013 assessing the effect of the response rate to vaccination in different treatment groups (with and without immun...
