Abstract:

Abstract Objective The main purpose of the study was to compare reliability of measurements for the evaluation of hip joint laxity in 59 dogs. Materials and Methods Measurement of the distraction index (DI) of the PennHIP method and the Norberg angle (NA) of the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI) scoring scheme as well as scoring according to the FCI scheme and the Swiss scoring scheme were performed by three observers at different level of experience. For each dog, two radiographs were acquired with each method by the same operator to evaluate intraoperator-reliability. Results Intraoperator-reliability was slightly better for the NA compared with the DI with an intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) of 0.962 and 0.892 respectively. The ICC showed excellent results in intraobserver-reliability and interobserver-reliability for both the NA (ICC 0.975; 0.969) and the DI (ICC 0.986; 0.972). Thus, the NA as well as the DI can be considered as reliable measurements. The FCI scheme and the Swiss scoring scheme provide similar reliability. While the FCI scheme seems to be slightly more reliable in experienced observers (Kappa FCI 0.687; Kappa Swiss 0.681), the Swiss scoring scheme had a noticeable better reliability for the unexperienced observer (Kappa FCI 0.465; Kappa Swiss 0.514). Clinical Significance The Swiss scoring scheme provides a structured guideline for the interpretation of hip radiographs and can thus be recommended to unexperienced observers.

Abstract:

Abstract Motivation The elucidation of all inter-protein interactions would significantly enhance our knowledge of cellular processes at a molecular level. Given the enormity of the problem, the expenses and limitations of experimental methods, it is imperative that this problem is tackled computationally. In silico predictions of protein interactions entail sampling different conformations of the purported complex and then scoring these to assess for interaction viability. In this study, we have devised a new scheme for scoring protein–protein interactions. Results Our method, PIZSA (Protein Interaction Z-Score Assessment), is a binary classification scheme for identification of native protein quaternary assemblies (binders/nonbinders) based on statistical potentials. The scoring scheme incorporates residue–residue contact preference on the interface with per residue-pair atomic contributions and accounts for clashes. PIZSA can accurately discriminate between native and non-native structural conformations from protein docking experiments and outperform other contact-based potential scoring functions. The method has been extensively benchmarked and is among the top 6 methods, outperforming 31 other statistical, physics based and machine learning scoring schemes. The PIZSA potentials can also distinguish crystallization artifacts from biological interactions. Availability and implementation PIZSA is implemented as a web server at http://cospi.iiserpune.ac.in/pizsa and can be downloaded as a standalone package from http://cospi.iiserpune.ac.in/pizsa/Download/Download.html. Supplementary information Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

Abstract:

Impact scoring schemes are useful for identifying to what extent alien species cause damage. Quantifying the similarity and differences between impact scoring schemes can help determine how to optimally use these tools for policy decisions. Using feral mammals (including rats and mice) as a case study, environmental and socio-economic impacts were assessed using three schemes, namely the Generic Impact Scoring System (GISS), Environmental Impact Classification for Alien Taxa (EICAT) and Socio-Economic Impact Classification for Alien Taxa (SEICAT). The results show that socio-economic impacts scores differ between the respective schemes (GISS and SEICAT) possibly because they assess different aspects of social life and economy. This suggests that both scoring schemes should ideally be applied in concert to get a complete picture of socio-economic impacts. In contrast, environmental impact scores are correlated between GISS and EICAT assessments and this similarity is consistent over most mechanisms except for predation and ecosystems, suggesting that one scoring scheme is sufficient to capture all the environmental impacts. Furthermore, we present evidence for the island susceptibility hypothesis as impacts of feral mammals were found to be higher on islands compared to mainlands.

Abstract:

Background: Researchers in medicine and related fields in Nigeria have usually made recourse to the instrument developed by Olusanya et al and Oyedeji in the past three-and-a half decades for determination of socioeconomic status (SES). Beside the question of their age, however, these instruments were purposive and might no longer be suitable because of the changes in the parameters on which they were based.Objective: To develop a robust but generic scheme that takes into consideration the changes in the nation’s socioeconomic space in the succeeding three and a half decades.Methods: A detailed and comprehensive review of the extant schemes was undertaken with a view to identifying their inherent weaknesses. The latter were then factored into the design of a new scheme taking into consideration the emergent restructuring of career positions in the civil/public service as well as the place of private and informal sectors of the economy. The new scheme was validated at the University of Beninand Irrua Specialist Teaching Hospitals.Results: The new scheme had a remarkably high Inter-rater reliability (r = 0.947, p<0.001), raterre- rater reliability (r = 0.984, p <0.001) and % agreement (with modified Oyedeji’s tool as standard) of 67% (K coefficient = 0.47, r = 0.71, p<0.001)Conclusion/Recommendation: The new scheme could be a viable tool for the assessment of SES of families and individuals, which not only takes into consideration current realities of the nation’s economy, but also is readily adaptable to meet foreseeable changes.

Abstract:

This paper reviews annotation schemes used for labeling discourse coherence in well-formed and noisy (essay) data, and it describes a system that we have developed for automated holistic scoring of essay coherence. We review previous, related work on unsupervised computational approaches to evaluating discourse coherence and focus on a taxonomy of discourse coherence schemes classified by their different goals and types of data. We illustrate how a holistic approach can be successfully used to build systems for noisy essay data, across domains and populations. We discuss the model features related to human scoring guide criteria for essay scoring, and the importance of using model features relevant to these criteria for the purpose of generating meaningful scores and feedback for students and test-takers. To demonstrate the effectiveness of a holistic annotation scheme, we present results of system evaluations.

Abstract The operation and results of the United Kingdom External Quality Assessment Scheme for Lead in Blood, which currently has about 140 participants within and outside the U.K. are described. The choice of specimens, scheme design, and scoring of performance are discussed, as is the validity of the consensus values used as a basis for the scoring. There has been a continued improvement in performance as assessed by this program, some of which appears to have been stimulated by the introduction of Variance Index scoring. The relative performance of the methods for assaying lead in blood is also examined.

Abstract:

Abstract. The deformation of blades under complex loads of multiple working conditions will reduce the energy conversion efficiency. To reduce the deviation of the blade shape in practical working conditions, a combination and optimization method of blade design schemes under multiple working conditions, based on the entropy weight vague sets, is proposed. The sensitivity of each working condition index is analyzed based on the information entropy, and the satisfaction degree of the design scheme based on the design requirements and experiences is described with the vague set. The matching degree of different design schemes for multiple working conditions is quantified according to the scoring function. The combination and optimization of the design scheme are verified by numerical simulation analysis. The results show that the proposed design scheme has a smaller blade shape deviation than the traditional design scheme under multiple working conditions.

Abstract:

Abstract Background: The different scoring methods used by eight European External Quality Assessment Schemes (EQASs) for occupational and environmental laboratory medicine were compared to develop suitable quality specifications as a step toward harmonization. Methods: Real results for blood lead and serum aluminum assays, reported by participants in Italian and United Kingdom EQASs, were evaluated according to individual scheme scoring criteria. The same results were then used to produce z scores using scheme-based between-laboratory SDs as the estimate of variability to determine whether simple performance-derived quality specifications produced better agreement among schemes. Results: The schemes gave conflicting assessments of participants’ performance, and participants judged to be successful by one scheme could be defined as performing inadequately by another. An approach proposed by Kenny et al. (Scand J Clin Lab Invest 1999;59:585), which uses clinical inputs to set targets for analytical imprecision, bias, and total error allowable, was then used to elaborate quality specifications. Conclusions: We suggest that the CLIA ′88 recommendations for blood lead (± 40 μg/L or ± 10% of the target concentration, whichever is the greater) could be used as a quality specification, although a revision to ± 30 μg/L or ± 10% is recommended. For serum aluminum, a suitable quality specification of ± 5 μg/L or ± 20% of the target concentration, whichever is the greater, is suggested. These specifications may be used to compare laboratory performance across schemes.

Abstract:

Bayesian experts who are exposed to different evidence often make contradictory probabilistic forecasts. An aggregator, ignorant of the underlying model, uses this to calculate his or her own forecast. We use the notions of scoring rules and regret to propose a natural way to evaluate an aggregation scheme. We focus on a binary state space and construct low regret aggregation schemes whenever there are only two experts that either are Blackwell-ordered or receive conditionally independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) signals. In contrast, if there are many experts with conditionally i.i.d. signals, then no scheme performs (asymptotically) better than a (0.5,0.5) forecast.

Abstract:

This paper presents a method of modifying original scores to obtain independent random variables. It includes an analysis of the consequences of using such a method. The paper also describes the mathematical background of the method in detail and discusses the possible use of the method in identifying student or participant assessments that are over- or underrated. The method distinguishes performances of students and assesses their written solutions using a scoring scheme. In this study, it is used to analyze the competence of participants in the Physics Olympiad competition. Scoring schemes that are appropriately set by an author for a physics problem present the participant scores as independent random variables. The assessment solutions are analyzed using analytical tools (such as covariant matrix) for the dependence of random variables. The evaluators of the participantsâ€™ solutions were highly qualified professionals. Nevertheless, the study found statistical evidence of minor distortion in the evaluations, though this was found to only marginally affected the ranking of participants

Abstract:

A rationale for using a projective approach, in addition to self-reports, is presented. A resilience exercise is described, consisting of 6 sentences describing adverse situations, in response to which participants write projective stories. A scoring scheme for such stories is introduced. 152 adults ( Mage = 34.28, SD = 9.15; Meduc = 14.55, SD = 2.31) working in organizations, completed the exercise and self-report scales. On the basis of initial scoring by two judges, the scoring scheme was revised to clarify some instructions. On a new sample of 20 protocols a 0.87 agreement between two judges was obtained. One judge then re-scored all protocols on the revised manual. A word count per protocol correlated 0.54 ( p < 0.000) with the total score. Scores per story and scores per scoring category, were corrected for word count, using a regression procedure. The 6 stories all loaded on a single resilience factor. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses showed a 2-factor model to fit the data best, producing factors which measured abstract and concrete aspects. The total resilience score correlated 0.26 ( p < 0.001) with Antonovsky's Sense of Coherence scale (short form) and 0.21 ( p < 0.01) with Diener's Satisfaction with Life scale.

Full text

Abstract:

Resettlement projects of the strongly threatened European bison (Bison bonasus) require a monitoring phase to assess both population status and habitat quality. Schemes of animal body condition scores (BCS) are robust tools to meet this requirement in practice. However, so far, no BCS scheme has been designed for European bison. Here, we suggest a body condition score scheme based on the extent of soft tissue around bony structures. The scoring system was developed with scores ranging from 1 (emaciated) to 5 (obese). Condition scores can be deduced after visually assessing the European bison both from the side and behind. Robustness of the scheme was evaluated: Unbiased people from different professional backgrounds were asked to assess the BCS of photographed semiwild European bison under field conditions and results were compared. Results demonstrate the suitability of the method. Nevertheless, variability of the results among assessors illustrates the necessity for training as well as for further research to validate the scheme as a true measure of physiological condition. We discuss the prospects and limits of a broad use of this scheme within the European bison community, and recommend the BCS scheme as a management tool.

Abstract:

The establishment and first 7 years' operation of an external quality assessment scheme for clinical chemistry in the Middle East region are described. The scheme utilises specimens distributed previously in the UK, and the performance of participating laboratories is assessed relative to the UK consensus values, taking account of method. Variance Index scoring has been used to quantitate performance, and there has been an improvement in average scores during the operation of the scheme. There are currently 88 participants, though some laboratories which failed to return results regularly were removed from the scheme. The consensus values from the scheme itself have now been validated, and in future the scheme should operate independently.

AbstractPartial Least Squares Discriminant Analysis (PLS-DA) is employed to obtain novel combinations of energetic terms present in classical scoring functions, which exceed and compensates the “traditional” consensus scheme. These novel scoring functions were involved to rank the database of indirubin inhibitors of glycogen synthase kinase-3β and cyclin dependent kinase-2 decoys from Directory of Useful Decoys. The ability of docking-scoring algorithm to prioritize the actives is assessed by means of several metrics. The best classification function includes donor component of Chemgauss2, steric contribution from Chemgauss3 and rotatable bond term of ScreenScore and provide significant improvement of enrichment factor at 5% of database.

Abstract:

AbstractEstimates suggest that about 16% of bird species hybridize in the wild. This number is based on two main sources: the Handbook of Avian Hybrids of the World by Eugene McCarthy and the online Serge Dumont Bird Hybrids Database. Although both sources provide supporting references for the documented hybrids, the reliability of these references has not been systematically assessed. In this paper, I introduce a scoring scheme based on three criteria that are weighted based on their reliability, namely field observations or photographs (1 point), morphological analyses (2 points), and genetic analyses (3 points). The final tally of these three criteria (ranging from 0 to 6 points) will indicate the level of confidence for a particular hybrid. I test this scoring scheme on the Neotropical bird family Tinamidae (tinamous), in which several putative hybrids have been reported. My analysis revealed one well-documented case (Crypturellus boucardi × C. cinnamomeus) and three doubtful records that require further investigation. These findings highlight the need for thoroughly scrutinizing the sources supporting avian hybrids. The scoring system clearly illustrates its usefulness and can be easily applied to other taxonomic groups to increase the reliability of documenting interspecific hybrids.

Abstract:

A death rate of approximately 32.7 in 100,000 traffic injury victims was reported in Thailand. The prediction of early death would identify and enable prioritization of the most severe patients for resuscitation and consequently reduce the number of deaths. This study aimed to develop a clinical prediction scoring system for 24 h mortality in adult major trauma patients. Retrospective-prognostic clinical prediction was applied in the case of 3173 adult trauma patients who were classified into three groups: death within 8 h, death between 8 and 24 h, and alive at 24 h. The predictors were obtained by univariable and multivariable logistic regression, and the coefficient of parameters was converted to predict early death. The numbers of patients who died within 8 h and between 8 and 24 h were 46 (1.5%) and 123 (3.8%), respectively. The predictors included systolic blood pressure <90 mmHg, heart rate ≥120 bpm, Glasgow coma scale ≤8, traffic injury, and assault injury. The scores of 4 indicated a mortality rate of 12% with a high specificity of 0.89. The suggested TERMINAL-24 scoring system can be used for the prediction of early death in the Emergency Department. However, its discrimination ability and precision should be validated before practical use.

Abstract:

Boosting, one of the best off-the-shelf classification methods, has evoked widespread interest in machine learning and statistics. However, the original algorithm was developed for binary classification problems. In this paper, we study multi-class boosting algorithms under the [Formula: see text]-loss framework, and devise two multi-class [Formula: see text]-Boost algorithms. These are based on coordinate descent and gradient descent to minimize the multi-class [Formula: see text]-loss function. We derive a scoring coding scheme using optimal scoring constraints to encode class labels and a simple decoder to recover the true class labels. Our boosting algorithms are easily implemented and their results converge to the global optimum. Experiments with synthetic and real-world datasets show that, compared with several state-of-art methods, our algorithms provide more accurate results.

Abstract:

Definable, reproducible, and meaningful are elemental features of grading/scoring systems, while thoroughness, accuracy, and consistency are quality indicators of pathology reports. The expertise of pathologists is significantly underutilized when it is limited to rendering diagnoses. The opportunity to provide guidance on animal model development, experimental design, optimal sample collection, and data interpretation not only contributes to job satisfaction but also, more importantly, promotes validation of the pathology data. Keys to validation include standard operating procedures, experimental controls, and standardized nomenclature applied throughout the experimental design and execution, tissue sampling, and slide preparation, as well as the creation or adaptation and application of semiquantitative grading/scoring systems. Diagnostic drift, thresholds, mental noise, and various diurnal fluctuations strongly influence the repeatability of grading/scoring systems used by the same or different pathologists. Quantitative image analyses are not plagued by the visual and cognitive traps that affect manual semiquantitative grading schemes but may still be affected by technical variables associated with necropsy, tissue sampling, and slide preparation. The validity of a grading scheme is ultimately assessed by its repeatability and biologic relevance, so it is important to correlate scores with comprehensive pathobiology data such as results of antemortem imaging, clinical pathology data, body and organ weights, and histopathologic evaluation of full tissue sets.

Abstract:

Background The medication appropriateness index (MAI) has demonstrated reliability in selected outpatient clinics where medical data were easily accessible from medical charts. However, its use in the community setting where patient data may be limited has not been examined. Objective To evaluate the usefulness of a modified MAI for use in the community pharmacy setting by testing interrater reliability using 3 different rating schemes. Methods Two raters evaluated 160 medications for 32 elderly ambulatory patients. Patient information was acquired using community pharmacist-collected medication histories. A summated MAI score, percent agreement, κ, positive agreement, negative agreement, and intraclass correlation coefficient were calculated for each criterion using 3 scoring schemes. A paired samples t-test (95% CI) was used to test interrater reliability. Results The κ statistics were >0.75 for indication and effectiveness, but good (0.41–0.66) for the remaining criteria using the Hanlon scoring scheme. The intraclass coefficients (0.82, 0.86, 0.87) and overall κ (0.65, 0.66, 0.61) were similar for the 3 schemes. Conclusions This study suggests that the modified MAI has the potential to detect medication appropriateness and inappropriateness in the community pharmacy setting; however, it is not without limitations. Because the MAI has the most clinimetric and psychometric data available, the instrument should be studied further to increase its reliability and generalizability.

Full text

Abstract:

A smart grid is a large, consolidated electrical grid system that includes heterogeneous networks and systems. Based on the data, a smart grid system has a potential security threat in its network connectivity. To solve this problem, we develop and apply a novel scheme to measure the vulnerability in a smart grid domain. Vulnerability quantification can be the first step in security analysis because it can help prioritize the security problems. However, existing vulnerability quantification schemes are not suitable for smart grid because they do not consider network vulnerabilities. We propose a novel attack route-based vulnerability quantification scheme using a network vulnerability score and an end-to-end security score, depending on the specific smart grid network environment to calculate the vulnerability score for a particular attack route. To evaluate the proposed approach, we derive several attack scenarios from the advanced metering infrastructure domain. The experimental results of the proposed approach and the existing common vulnerability scoring system clearly show that we need to consider network connectivity for more optimized vulnerability quantification.

Abstract:

Although linear classifiers are one of the oldest methods in machine learning, they are still very popular in the machine learning community. This is due to their low computational complexity and robustness to overfitting. Consequently, linear classifiers are often used as base classifiers of multiple ensemble classification systems. This research is aimed at building a new fusion method dedicated to the ensemble of linear classifiers. The fusion scheme uses both measurement space and geometrical space. Namely, we proposed a probability-driven scoring function which shape depends on the orientation of the decision hyperplanes generated by the base classifiers. The proposed fusion method is compared with the reference method using multiple benchmark datasets taken from the KEEL repository. The comparison is done using multiple quality criteria. The statistical analysis of the obtained results is also performed. The experimental study shows that, under certain conditions, some improvement may be obtained.

Abstract:

Abstract With the growing popularity of online social networks, a large amount of private or sensitive information has been posted online. In particular, studies show that users sometimes reveal too much information or unintentionally release regretful messages, especially when they are careless, emotional, or unaware of privacy risks. As such, there exist great needs to be able to identify potentially-sensitive online contents, so that users could be alerted with such findings. In this paper, we propose a context-aware, text-based quantitative model for private information assessment, namely PrivScore, which is expected to serve as the foundation of a privacy leakage alerting mechanism. We first solicit diverse opinions on the sensitiveness of private information from crowdsourcing workers, and examine the responses to discover a perceptual model behind the consensuses and disagreements. We then develop a computational scheme using deep neural networks to compute a context-free PrivScore (i.e., the “consensus” privacy score among average users). Finally, we integrate tweet histories, topic preferences and social contexts to generate a personalized context-aware PrivScore. This privacy scoring mechanism could be employed to identify potentially-private messages and alert users to think again before posting them to OSNs.
