Cost-Sensitive Variable Selection for Multi-Class Imbalanced Datasets Using Bayesian Networks
Multi-class classification in imbalanced datasets is a challenging problem. In these cases, common validation metrics (such as accuracy or recall) are often not suitable.

The time squares sequences: a new task for assessing visuospatial working memory
IntroductionSeveral studies have shown that the working memory is sensitive to temporal variations. We used a new visuospatial working memory task, the “Time Squares Sequences,” to investigate whether implicit variations in stimuli presentation time ...

An EPLS model for a variable production rate with stock-price sensitive demand and deterioration [PDF]
It is observed that large piles of consumer goods displayed in supermarkets lead consumers to buy more, which generates more profit to sellers. But a large number of on-hand display of stock leaves a negative impression on the buyer.

Are pigs sensitive to variability in food rewards? [PDF]
Pigs are non-specialist feeders with high capacities to adapt their diets within wide limits to prevailing and unpredictable conditions. Under husbandry conditions however, pigs are usually fed under extremely predictable conditions, i.e. with highly uniform and standardized diets, ad libitum or at standardized times. Although pigs, in this way, obtain

Modeling the sensitivity to variability relationship in perimetry
Studies in glaucoma patients show that standard automated perimetry results increase in variability as sensitivity decreases. However, the reasons for this change are unclear. This study presents the principle of Divergent Dysfunction as a possible explanation for this change in variability, and incorporates it into a model that can be used to simulate

A Survey Design for a Sensitive Binary Variable Correlated with Another Nonsensitive Binary Variable
Tian et al. (2007) introduced a so-called hidden sensitivity model for evaluating the association of two sensitive questions with binary outcomes. However, in practice, we sometimes need to assess the association between one sensitive binary variable (e ...
