background & aim: in many medical studies, one data set is used to construct the model, and to test its performance. this approach is prone to over optimization, and leads to statistics with low chance of external validity. data splitting can be used to create training and test sets but the cost is reduction in power. the aim of this study was to demonstrate the ability of bootstrap aggregating...

forest types mapping, is one of the most necessary elements in the forest management and silviculture treatments. traditional methods such as field surveys are almost time-consuming and cost-intensive. improvements in remote sensing data sources and classification –estimation methods are preparing new opportunities for obtaining more accurate forest biophysical attributes maps. this research co...

In certain research studies development of a reliable decision rule, which can be used to classify new observations into some predefined categories, plays an important role. The existing traditional statistical methods are inappropriate to use in certain specific situations, or of limited utility, in addressing these types of classification problems. There are a number of reasons for these diff...

Depression is a mood disorder that involves the continuing feeling of sadness and loss interest. The crucial life events for an individual, such as losing job may lead to depression. However, feelings grief are clinically diagnosed part depression only if symptoms persist at least two weeks. Eventually, can last several weeks, months, or years. Some overlap with other somatic illnesses cause di...

background : breast cancer survival has been analyzed by many standard data mining algorithms. a group of these algorithms belonged to the decision tree category. ability of the decision tree algorithms in terms of visualizing and formulating of hidden patterns among study variables were main reasons to apply an algorithm from the decision tree category in the current study that has not studied...

the effects of different climatic, soil, geometric, and management factors on soil organic carbon (soc) degradation and sequestration potential was evaluated in the semi-arid zone of mereg watershed, west of iran. two nonparametric methods, viz. classification and regression tree (cart) and feed forward back propagation artificial neural network (ann) were compared with parametric multivariate ...
