Smooth ROC curve estimation via Bernstein polynomials.

The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve is commonly used to evaluate the accuracy of a diagnostic test for classifying observations into two groups.We propose two novel tuning parameters for estimating the ROC curve via Bernstein polynomial smoothing of the empirical ROC curve.The new estimator is very easy to implement with the naturally

Low Complexity Bit Reliability and Predication Based Symbol Value Selection Decoding Algorithms for Non-Binary LDPC Codes

The main challenge for hardware implementation of non-binary LDPC decoding is the high computational complexity and large memory requirement.To address this challenge, five new low complexity LDPC decoding algorithms are proposed in this paper.The proposed algorithms are developed specifically towards the low complexity, yet effective, decoding of

Rescue of in vitro models of CSF1R-related adult-onset leukodystrophy by iluzanebart: mechanisms and therapeutic implications of TREM2 agonism

Abstract Microglia dysfunction is implicated in several neurodegenerative disorders, including a rare microgliopathy; CSF1R-related adult-onset leukoencephalopathy with axonal spheroids and pigmented glia (CSF1R-ALSP).CSF1R-ALSP is caused by heterozygous loss-of-function mutations in the colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R) gene, which enco

Bifurcation analysis, circuit design and sliding mode control of a new multistable chaotic population model with one prey and two predators

In this work, we report a new chaotic population biology system with one prey and two predators.Our new chaotic population model is derived by introducing two nonlinear interaction terms between the prey and predator-2 to the Samardzija-Greller population biology system (1988).We show that the new chaotic population biology system has a greater val

A taste of wilderness: supplementary feeding of red deer (Cervus elaphus) increases individual bacterial microbiota diversity but lowers abundance of important gut symbionts

Abstract The gut microbiome plays a crucial role in the health and well-being of animals.It is especially critical for ruminants that depend on this bacterial community for digesting their food.In this study, we investigated the effects of management conditions and supplemental feeding on the gut bacterial microbiota of red deer (Cervus elaphus) in
