Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractClassification of Breast Tumor in Mammogram Images Using Unsupervised Feature LearningAidarus M. Ibrahim, Baharum Baharudin, Abas Md Said, P. N. HashimahIn this study, we propose a learning-based approach using feature learning to minimize the manual effort required to extract features. Firstly, we extracted features from equally spaced sub-patches covering the input Region of Interest (ROI). The dimensionality of the extracted features is reduced using max-pooling. Furthermore, spherical k-means clustering coupled with max pooling (k-means-max pooling) is compared with well-known feature … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 5 · 13 May 2016 · 7,503 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdaptive Superiority and Noninferiority Trial Design with Paired Binary DataMark Chang, Jing WangNon-inferiority of a diagnostic test to the standard is a common issue in medical research. For instance, we may be interested in determining if a new diagnostic test is noninferior to the standard reference test because the new test might be inexpensive to the extent that some small inferior margin in sensitivity or specificity may be acceptable. Noninferiority trials are … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 7 Sep 2015 · 8,239 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFeatures of Microelement Composition of Ordinary Chernozems of the Azov and Lower Don RegionsTatiana M. Minkina, Nikolay N. Miroshnichenko, Aleksandr I.
