Is watching nature documentaries an enlightened attempt to comprehend our fellow creatures, or just another example of human beings imposing a gaze of power and knowledge on animals – classifying, controlling and ultimately skinning and stuffing them in the name of science?
The univariate group difference analysis showed that ADHD patients relative to controls had reduced activation in bilateral VLPFC, caudate and temporo-parietal regions, which mostly overlapped with the areas that were predictive of classifying controls, suggesting that these areas that classify controls are dysfunctional areas in ADHD.
Low et al. [5] combined prosodic, spectral, and the first and the second derivatives of the mel-cepstra features to classify control and clinically depressed adolescents, using a Gaussian mixture model-based classifier.
France et al. [4] later used similar biomarkers including the fundamental frequency, amplitude modulation, formant statistics, and power distribution to classify control, dysthymic, MDD, and suicidal males and females, separately.
Discriminant analysis with cross-validation was performed to classify control subjects and AD patients.
The authors assumed that the Wampold et al. (1997) criteria objectively classify control treatments into 'non-therapeutic' (non- bona fide) controls and active controls (bona fide).
Any studies which classified control tissue as tumour-adjacent tissue, which appeared macroscopically normal in OSCC cases, were excluded from our analysis.
On the other hand, after applying an integrative Bayesian strategy over the 136 candidates, we have obtained 77 genes outside HSA21 able to classify control and DS samples (Fig. 2A).
Foerster classifies controlled systems as "first-order cybernetics" and autonomous systems as second-order cybernetics (Umpleby 1990, p. 113).
In a cross-validation experiment, these markers were able to correctly classify controls from cases in up to 89% of cases (misclassification error of 0.11).
