ASMSA's selection method includes Multiple-Stakeholder Processes (MSPs) and the use of Multi-Objective Multi-Criteria (MOMC) decision-making techniques.
In this work the performance of the SLICING method (including multiple slicing schemes) is compared to a traditional two-dimensional curve fitting algorithm named MATRIXFIT through application to simulated data in a large-scale exhaustive experimental design and the results validated by application to two small real data sets.
We chose to adhere to the protocol and use the last observation carried forward method, including multiple imputation for comparison only.
Methods include Multiple Linear regression, Generalized Linear Model with Stepwise Feature Selection, Partial Least Squares regression, Lasso regression, and Support Vector Machines Recursive Feature Elimination.
The focus of future studies will test more machine learning methods including multiple runs with different combinations of training and test sets, to improve on results from this study and from [16].
Other papers used more sophisticated methods including multiple imputation (n = 5) or fully Bayesian modeling (n = 1).
Handling of missing data will be by complete case analysis, with sensitivity analyses using other methods including multiple imputation if possible.
Treatment methods include multiple irrigation and débridement with implant retention, single-stage revision, two-stage revision, and long-term antibiotic suppression therapy [ 1- 8].
TOMO is able to deliver treatment that will not be possible by conventional RT methods, including multiple mediastinal lymph nodes irradiation.
These methods included multiple linear regression [ 15], multiple sequence alignment [ 16], energy optimization [ 17], support vector regression [ 18, 19], neural network [ 20, 21], pace regression [ 22], agent-based system [ 23] and k-nearest neighbor (KNN) [ 24].
