BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of benzalkonium (BAK)-free travoprost monotherapy administered for 3 years on intraocular pressure and visual field performance. METHODS The intraocular pressure of 76 patients with normal tension glaucoma was monitored every 1-3 months. A Humphrey visual field test was performed every 6 months after treatment and compared with ...

abstract: the global warming process during last century has not only affected on meteorological elements but also affected on onset and end of each meteorological elements. for studying probability changes in time series of onset and end date of temperature thresholds 0 and 5 centigrade in country level and deciding the kind and its direction, daily temperature data during the past 45 years (1...

The problem of variance estimation for a t ime series with linear trend is studied using model based procedures. The work done by Royall and Cumberland ((2), (3)) is refined and adapted to the special problems of the Current Employment Survey (790 Survey) at the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A variety of variance estimation techniques are examined; including a variation of jackknife estimation an...

This paper presents a novel approach to modelling time series datasets using fuzzy trend information. A time series is described using natural linguistic terms such as rising more steeply and falling less steeply. These natural shape descriptors enable us to produce a glass box model of the series. The linguistic shape descriptors are represented in our system by a new feature called the trend ...

Trend of time series characterizes the intermediate upward and downward behaviour of time series. Learning and forecasting the trend in time series data play an important role in many real applications, ranging from resource allocation in data centers, load schedule in smart grid, and so on. Inspired by the recent successes of neural networks, in this paper we propose TreNet, a novel end-toend ...

daily precipitation data from aphrodite's resources with a spatial resolution of 0.25*0.25 degree for 57 years have been used to detect the trend of precipitation in afghanistan. first of all, monthly, seasonally, and yearly maps and regional mean time series calculated. according to the annual map, mean annual precipitation of the country is about 256 mm. there are two precipitation maxim...
