As a preprocessing, we selected the co-expressed genes with a statistical significance level. For this purpose, we performed t-test for the Pearson’s correlation coefficients in the range from 5×10 to 10 significance probability. By the correspondence between the significance probability and the previous biological knowledge about the co-expression genes, the thresholds were estimated to be 10 ...

This paper is focused on the use of image processing techniques and pattern recognition methods to preclassify Baum test results and therefore to make large groups underage children psychological screening less time and staff consuming. The authors propose some practical solutions to preprocess images and then measure useful features for the analytic and morphological analysis of the drawings.
