Decision tree rule-based feature selection for imbalanced data
… on a decision tree rule and weighted Gini index. The effectiveness of the proposed methods is verified by classifying a dataset from Santander Bank and two datasets from UCI machine learning repository. The results show that our methods can achieve higher Area Under the Curve (AUC) and F-measure. …

The Effect of Increased Sleep on the Circadian Rhythm of Salivary Cortisol Concentrations
<p>Cortisol is a salivary marker for the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) component of the stress response. The activity of the HPA demonstrates a circadian rhythm. It is well known that sleep deprivation increases cortisol concentrations. In this study, we looked at the effect of an …

Lung cancer malignancy predication with recurrent neural networks
Lung cancer has the highest mortality rate among all cancer types in the United States, comprising almost 25% of all cancer deaths. Existing work in computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) has applied convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to detect and classify nodules in CT scans, with the goal of assisting …

Maximum Entropy Modeling of Indiana Bat (Myotis Sodalis) Maternity Roost Habitat
<p>Since 1967, the Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis) has been on the U.S. Endangered Species list due to disruption of hibernating bats in caves, summer habitat degradation, and more recently, the onset of White-nose Syndrome. The purpose of this study is to evaluate landscape variables associated with …

Predicting blood pressure response to fluid bolus therapy in the ICU using attention-based stacked neural networks for clinical interpretability
Fluid bolus therapy (FBT) is a treatment commonly administered to treat seriously ill hypotensive patients in intensive care units (ICUs). Unfortunately, only a fraction of hypotensive patients respond positively to FBT, and emergency room physicians are constantly challenged in determining whether …
