This paper presents a preprocessing methodology that automatically analyzes and classifies each record into known categories, focusing the engineer's attention to the most relevant occurrences.
We used the most relevant grey-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) textural attributes for remote sensing applications as described in the literature (Baraldi and Parmiggiani 1995; Solberg 1999; Lu 2005; Tuominen and Pekkarinen 2005; Kayitakire et al. 2006).
Identification of the most relevant factors for explaining road accident occurrence is an important issue in road safety research, particularly for future decision-making processes in transport policy.
Logistic regression analyses were added to obtain odds ratios (ORs) for covariables and also to define most relevant factors for the dependent variable (occurrence of acute renal injury) using backward selection regression model.
The proportion of cattle farms becoming bTB positive in 2006, the mean number of hunting seasons in which the hunting estates of the municipality have been inspected and the apparent prevalence of TB in wild boar in 2006 were identified as the most relevant factors related to the TB occurrence in 2007 in Ciudad Real.
Several studies have already investigated the prognosis of breast cancer patients after developing distant metastasis, showing that age at initial diagnosis, hormonal receptor status and site of metastasis are the most relevant factors for predicting survival from occurrence of metastasis (Largillier et al, 2008; Foukakis et al, 2011; Schneider et al, 2011).
However, the purpose of this step was to eventually have only one, the most relevant, data point per premises - representing the first occurrence of a disease at that site.
The knowledge on the occurrence of the mycotoxin zearalenone (ZEN), one of the most relevant Fusarium toxins, in animal feed including fish feeds is increasing [ 1, 2], and the evidence on the toxicological effects of ZEN is accumulating.
The most relevant finding of this investigation is that migration background is a main risk factor for the occurrence of caries in Viennese school children, even if their parents have received at least a basic scholarly education.
Recommendations have been developed identifying the most relevant domains for measuring and monitoring the various muscu-loskeletal conditions by review of epidemiological data on occurrence, determinants and outcomes, and by expert opinion.
