Describing the determinants of problem gaming in South Africa : a longitudinal approach
… those associated with the Problem Gambling Severity Index (PGSI) screen, are explored. Gambling severity classification, as per the PGSI, is unstable over time. Evidence suggests that the standard PGSI cut-off score of 8 may be replaced by a score of 10 in some cases. For robustness, …

Time-frequency investigation of heart rate variability and cardiovascular system modeling of normal and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) subjects
… models of normal subjects. Finally, a method of severity classification is presented. This method combines the techniques of principal component analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis (CA) and has been shown to separate the COPD from the normal population with 100% accuracy. It can also classify the …
