GPCR-MPredictor: multi-level prediction of G protein-coupled receptors using genetic ensemble

TL;DR: An evolutionary approach, GPCR-MPredictor, which combines individual classifiers for predicting GPCRs and exploits the prediction results of SVM, KNN, PNN, and J48 at each level, is proposed.

Activity recognition in smart homes with self verification of assignments

TL;DR: This work proposes a binary solution using support vector machines, which simplifies the problem to correct/incorrect assignments for multi-class activity classification, and demonstrates a better performance of the proposed approach compared to the state of the art.

An analysis of credit scoring for agricultural loans in Thailand

TL;DR: In this paper, a credit scoring model for the agricultural loans in Thailand is presented and the results of the logistic regression confirm the importance of total asset value, capital turnover ratio (efficiency) and the duration of a bank - borrower relationship as important factors in determining the creditworthiness of the borrowers.

Comparing artificial neural networks to other statistical methods for medical outcome prediction

TL;DR: Neural networks can perform as well as the best traditional prediction methods, and they can capture the power of nonmonotonic predictors and discover complex genetic interactions.

Automated pathological brain detection system: A fast discrete curvelet transform and probabilistic neural network based approach

TL;DR: The suggested pathological brain detection system (PBDS) has the ability to help radiologists to initiate the corrective measures for treating the ailing patients at an early stage and has a potential to be installed on medical robots.

Nearest neighbor pattern classification

TL;DR: The nearest neighbor decision rule assigns to an unclassified sample point the classification of the nearest of a set of previously classified points, so it may be said that half the classification information in an infinite sample set is contained in the nearest neighbor.

On Estimation of a Probability Density Function and Mode

TL;DR: In this paper, the problem of the estimation of a probability density function and of determining the mode of the probability function is discussed. Only estimates which are consistent and asymptotically normal are constructed.
