Insulin resistance (IR) is considered cardinal to the pathophysiology of metabolic syndrome (MetS). Previously, several simple indexes IR calculated from biochemical and anthropometric variables have been proposed. However, these are population-dependent; therefore, further studies on a global scale necessary. The present study assessed diagnostic accuracy eight indicators, namely, METS-IR, TG-...

We consider the use of data reduction techniques for the problem of approximate query answering. We focus on applications for which accurate answers selective queries are required, and for which the data is very high dimensional (having hundreds or perhaps thousands of dimensions). We carefully examine the assumptions underlying many existing reduction techniques. To ensure both speed and accur...

To facilitate the analysis of real and simulated data on groups, organizations and societies tools and measures are needed that can handle relational or network data that is multi-mode, multi-link, and multi-time period, in which both nodes and edges have attributes and there are possible errors in the data. The integrated CMU dynamic network analysis toolset described in this paper enables the...
