STATISTICAL METHODS FOR ASSESSING AGREEMENT BETWEEN TWO METHODS OF CLINICAL MEASUREMENT
In clinical measurement comparison of a new measurement technique with an established one is often needed to see whether they agree sufficiently for the new to replace the old. ...
UCSF Chimera—A visualization system for exploratory research and analysis
Abstract The design, implementation, and capabilities of an extensible visualization system, UCSF Chimera, are discussed. Chimera is segmented into a core that provides basic se...
Particle swarm optimization
The base isolation design usually used the historical well-known earthquake records as an input ground motion. Through the adjustment on each variables of the structure system, ...
Preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses: the PRISMA Statement.
Systematic reviews and meta-analyses have become increasingly important in health care. Clinicians read them to keep up to date with their field,1,2 and they are often used as a...
The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale
ABSTRACT– A self‐assessment scale has been developed and found to be a reliable instrument for detecting states of depression and anxiety in the setting of an hospital medical o...
MEGA7: Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis Version 7.0 for Bigger Datasets
Abstract We present the latest version of the Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis (M ega ) software, which contains many sophisticated methods and tools for phylogenomics a...
Optimization by Simulated Annealing
There is a deep and useful connection between statistical mechanics (the behavior of systems with many degrees of freedom in thermal equilibrium at a finite temperature) and mul...
XGBoost
Tree boosting is a highly effective and widely used machine learning method.\nIn this paper, we describe a scalable end-to-end tree boosting system called\nXGBoost, which is use...
Three Approaches to Qualitative Content Analysis
Content analysis is a widely used qualitative research technique. Rather than being a single method, current applications of content analysis show three distinct approaches: con...
