Singularity and Symmetry Analyses for Tuberculosis Epidemics [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2014
We analyse the model of Tuberculosis due to Blower (Nature Medecine 1(8) 815-821) from the point of view of symmetry and singularity analysis. From the study we provide a demonstration of the integrability of the model to present an explicit solution.

Machine learning augmented diagnostic testing to identify sources of variability in test performance [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Diagnostic tests which can detect pre-clinical or sub-clinical infection, are one of the most powerful tools in our armoury of weapons to control infectious diseases. Considerable effort has been therefore paid to improving diagnostic testing for human, plant and animal diseases, including strategies for targeting the use of diagnostic tests towards ...

A Data Mining Approach to the Diagnosis of Tuberculosis by Cascading Clustering and Classification [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of computing, volume 3, issue 4,April 2011, ISSN 2151-9617, 2011
In this paper, a methodology for the automated detection and classification of Tuberculosis(TB) is presented. Tuberculosis is a disease caused by mycobacterium which spreads through the air and attacks low immune bodies easily. Our methodology is based on clustering and classification that classifies TB into two categories, Pulmonary Tuberculosis(PTB ...
