A b s t r a c t . The class Ii0 , ~ C (0, c~], of f-divergences investigated in this paper is defined in terms of a class of entropies introduced by Arimoto (1971, Information and Control, 19, 181-194). It contains the squared Hellinger distance (for/~ = 1/2), the sum I(Q1 II (Q1 +Q2)/2) +I(Q~ II (Q1 +Q2)/2) of Kullback-Leibler divergences (for ~ = 1) and half of the variation distance (for/3 =...

Business and government organizations are increasingly pressed to deal effectively and efficiently with multiple criteria evaluation in a variety of contexts, among which are education and training. This paper demonstrates that a “fuzzy set” assessment approach implemented with a Group Support System can be successfully applied in university classroom contexts. Student learning was significantl...

Covalent binding of xenobiotic electrophiles to nucleophilic endogenous biomolecules, e.g. peptides or DNA, is a common molecular initiating event, leading to potentially irreversible toxic effects such as enhanced acute toxicity, skin sensitisation, or mutagenicity. This knowledge provides the basis for the in silico prediction of these toxicities. The potential for a chemical to be reactive c...

Objective: Evidence base for rapid tranquillisation is an under researched area. Guidelines on rapid tranquilisation from English speaking countries were appraised using AGREE (Appraisal of Guidelines Research and Evaluation) and differences in their recommendations were analysed. Methods: Four independent psychiatrists appraised the guidelines using the AGREE tool. AGREE is a validated instrum...

QSARs establish a quantitative relationship between chemical structures and their properties [1]. In theory, QSAR models can be used to predict the properties of chemical structures, provided their structural information is available. In the recent years, there had been a growing awareness about QSARs and their applications. This is quite evident from their use for regulatory purposes. A new Eu...

When making a prediction with a statistical model, it is not sufficient to know that the model is “good”, in the sense that it is able to make accurate predictions on test data. Another relevant question is: How good is the model for a specific sample whose properties we wish to predict? Stated another way: Is the sample within or outside the model’s domain of applicability or what is the degre...
