The problem of link prediction and its variants have driven significant research efforts over the past decade. Real world applications, ranging from social networks (Facebook friend recommendation) to national security (detecting links in terrorist networks), have motivated interest in this problem. Link prediction can be reframed into other varieties, such as missing link prediction or link re...

BACKGROUND The prevalence of heart failure is expected to significantly rise unless high-risk patients are effectively screened and appropriate, cost-effective prevention interventions are implemented. METHODS AND RESULTS We performed a systematic review to evaluate the prediction characteristics of the published heart failure risk prediction models as of August 2014 using MEDLINE and EMBASE ...

An urban regeneration health impact assessment (HIA) was conducted collaboratively with three major government agencies and the local community in 2005 and 2006 to identify health impacts of a major land use strategy outlined in the consultant's report for the Greater Granville Regeneration Plan - Stage 1 (Sydney: Hassall Pty Limited, 2005). Health impacts were identified and agreed recommendat...

BACKGROUND The adverse health and equity impacts of transnational corporations' (TNCs) practices have become central public health concerns as TNCs increasingly dominate global trade and investment and shape national economies. Despite this, methodologies have been lacking with which to study the health equity impacts of individual corporations and thus to inform actions to mitigate or reverse ...

Corporate directors are influenced by overconfidence, which is one of the personality traits of individuals; it may take irrational decisions that will have a significant impact on the company's performance in the long run. The purpose of this paper is to validate and compare the Naive Bayesian Classification algorithm and probit regression in the prediction of Management's overconfident at pre...

Energy efficiency has become one of the most important challenges in designing future computing systems. Workload reshaping and prediction have a significant impact on the energy conservation of computer components. In this paper, by using three HTTP traffic traces, we perform various evaluations to explore the possible reasons and indications which impact the workload reshaping. The experiment...

We investigate search based fault prediction over time based on 8 consecutive Hadoop versions, aiming to analyse the impact of chronology on fault prediction performance. Our results confound the assumption, implicit in previous work, that additional information from historical versions improves prediction; though G-mean tends to improve, Recall can be reduced.

IF MEASURED BY the number of published papers, defect prediction has become an important research eld over the past decade, with many researchers continuously proposing novel approaches to predict defects in software systems. However, most of these approaches have had a noticeable lack of impact on industrial practice. We believe that the impact isn’t there because something is intrinsically wr...
