Applications of Parametric Searching in Geometric Optimization

Journal of Algorithms, 1994
Summary: We present several applications in computational geometry of Megiddo's parametric searching technique. These applications include: (1) finding the minimum Hausdorff distance in the Euclidean metric between two polygonal regions under translation; (2) computing the biggest line segment that can be placed inside a simple polygon; (3) computing ...

On Minimally-Parametric Primordial Power Spectrum Reconstruction and the Evidence for a Red Tilt [PDF]

, 2008
The latest cosmological data seem to indicate a significant deviation from scale invariance of the primordial power spectrum when parameterized either by a power law or by a spectral index with non-zero "running".

Effects of Cancer Treatment on Somatosensory and Nociceptive Processing in Children and Adolescents: A Systematic Review

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chemotherapy‐induced peripheral neuropathy remains a major complication in pediatric cancer, with disrupted somatosensory and nociceptive processing being a key aspect. This review synthesizes empirical studies on alterations in somatosensory and nociceptive processing in children and adolescents with cancer.

Random time-series model identification from binary-valued observations and quantized measurements [PDF]

Archives of Control Sciences
In the paper, two algorithms that allow identification of a parametric models of random time-series from binary-valued observations of their realizations, as well as from quantized measurements of their values, are proposed.

The comparison of three risk assessment models based on cadmium exposure level in rice

Zhongguo shipin weisheng zazhi, 2022
ObjectiveThe advantages and disadvantages of three statistical models commonly used in food contaminant exposure assessment， namely the observed individual means （OIM） model， the beta-abinomial and normal （BBN） model and the non-parametric model were ...

Minimax Parametric Optimization Problems and Multidimensional Parametric Searching

Interdisciplinary Information Sciences, 2001
Summary: The parametric minimax problem, which finds the parameter value minimizing the weight of a solution of a combinatorial maximization problem, is a fundamental problem in sensitivity analysis. Moreover, several problems in computational geometry can be formulated as parametric minimax problems.

Carcinomas and Carcinoid Tumors of the Lungs and Bronchi in Children and Adolescents: The EXPeRT Recommendations

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Primary lung carcinomas and bronchial carcinoid tumors (BC) are very rare malignancies in childhood. While typical BC and mucoepidermoid carcinomas are mostly low‐grade, localized tumors with a more favorable prognosis than in adults, necessitating avoidance of overtreatment, adenocarcinomas of the lung are often diagnosed at advanced disease ...

An automated pattern recognition system for the quantification of inflammatory cells in hepatitis-C-infected liver biopsies [PDF]

, 2006
This paper presents an automated system for the quantification of inflammatory cells in hepatitis-C-infected liver biopsies. Initially, features are extracted from colour-corrected biopsy images at positions of interest identified by adaptive ...

Implementing Health‐Related Quality of Life Assessment in Pediatric Oncology: A Feasibility Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background There is growing interest in embedding health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) assessment and patient‐reported outcome measures (PROMs) within clinical cancer care. This study evaluated the feasibility, acceptability, and usability of implementing an electronic PROM (ePROM) platform to measure HRQoL in children with cancer ...

Smooth Sigmoid Surrogate (SSS): An Alternative to Greedy Search in Decision Trees

Mathematics
Greedy search (GS) or exhaustive search plays a crucial role in decision trees and their various extensions. We introduce an alternative splitting method called smooth sigmoid surrogate (SSS) in which the indicator threshold function used in GS is ...
