Multivariate longitudinal data clustering with a copula kernel mixture model See

Many common clustering methods cannot be used for clustering multivariate longitudinal data when the covariance of random variables is a function of the time points. For this reason, a copula kernel mixture model (CKMM) is ...

Study and Design of Globally Optimal Distributed Scalar Quantizer for Binary Linear Classification See

This thesis addresses the design of distributed scalar quantizers (DSQs) for two sensors, tailored to maximize the classification accuracy for a pre-trained binary linear classifier at the central node, diverging from traditional&...

Benefits and harms of Ketamine for management of chronic non-cancer pain See

Background: Chronic non-cancer pain (CNCP) is a prevalent condition, imposing significant burden on healthcare systems. Ketamine is suggested as a potential intervention for CNCP management. We conducted a systematic review and network m...

Understanding Muscle Before it's Gone: Multi-Parametric Characterization of Skeletal Muscle Biomarkers Derived From DXA and MRI in a Frail Population See

Approximately 23% of Canadians over the age of 65 are considered frail, with that number predicted to increase up to 40% for the population over the age of 85. Frailty is a geriatric syndrome defined by the natur...
