The McDonald Criteria for Multiple Sclerosis: time for clarification
The McDonald Criteria for Multiple Sclerosis in general have replaced the Poser criteria. Despite this, many consider that there are still areas of ambiguity. In this study, neu...

Models with latent variables: LISREL versus PLS
Summary: LISREL and PLS are two different ways of modelling latent variables and their relations to each other within a set of manifest variables. These two models are contraste...
Random Allocation in Observational Data
Conventional observational epidemiology has an unenviable reputation for generating false-positive findings,1,2 or "scares," as others call them.3 In 1993, for example, the New ...
Relation of Workers Expectation to Satisfaction with Supervisor<sup>1</sup>
Summary A number of investigations, carried out at the Survey Research Center of the University of Michigan, have shown a consistent relationship between certain patterns of sup...
An evaluation of polygraphers' judgments: A review from a decision theoretic perspective.
Hebrew University, Jerusalem, IsraelA critical discussion of the theory, practice, and evaluation process of the ControlQuestions Technique (CQT) is undertaken. Sources of possi...
Dropout Training of Matrix Factorization and Autoencoder for Link Prediction in Sparse Graphs
Matrix factorization (MF) and Autoencoder (AE) are among the most successful approaches of unsupervised learning. While MF based models have been extensively exploited in the gr...
Outlier Detection and False Discovery Rates for Whole-Genome DNA Matching
We define a statistic, called the <em>matching statistic</em>, for locating regions of the genome that exhibit excess similarity among cases when compared to controls. Such regi...
Longitudinal Design and Longitudinal Analysis
The desirability of longitudinal data is generally accepted among researchers in aging and gerontology. In recent years, a great deal of such data have been collected either in ...
Towards phase transferable potential functions: Methodology and application to nitrogen
We describe a generalizable approach to the development of phase transferable effective intermolecular potentials and apply the method to the study of N2. The method is based on...
Testing Substitution Models Within a Phylogenetic Tree
Phylogenetic tree reconstruction frequently assumes the homogeneity of the substitution process over the whole tree. To test this assumption statistically, we propose a test bas...
The Generalized A* Architecture
We consider the problem of computing a lightest derivation of a global structure using a set of weighted rules. A large variety of inference problems in AI can be formulated in ...
