Influence networks convert weighted undirected networks into weighted bidirectional networks where pairs of nodes are connected by two links, one weighted to represent the influence a given node has on its partner and the other weighted to represent the influence the partner has on the given node.
The expected utility of a decision is the average utility of all possible outcomes consequent upon that decision, each one weighted by its probability under the decision.
The first one, weighted lookahead, is a variant of an existing approach by Shimbo and Ishida, and utilizes the weight while the algorithm performs lookahead search.
Thus, (26) in fact corresponds to the structure depicted in Fig. 2, which is composed of a set of N branches, with the output of the kth branch given by the product of the outputs of two kernels (a first-order kernel and a second-order one), weighted by the kth singular value σ k of (hat {mathbf {H}}_{3,1,2}).
In an op-ed published in the London Times last week, titled "G20 Must Look Beyond the Needs of the Top 20," Vice Premier Wang Qishan pointed out China's contributions to Africa via South-South co-operation and made a convincing case to reform the IMF quota system to one weighted to GDP per capita, not foreign exchange reserves.
This index records the presence or absence of 18 health problems, each one weighted for severity according to predefined values.
More than one answer per line gave rise to the same number of rules, each one weighted by a coefficient resulting from dividing the number of times a cell was chosen by twelve (total number of those surveyed).
The categorization of cut-off of SASDAS versus those of the ASDAS-CRP index have basically confirmed the agreement of the previous one (weighted Kappa 0.661 with standard error of 0.039) (Table 2).
Preliminary evidence however does suggests that the elderly may possess a PES diagnostic profile different from that of patients < 65, one weighted towards cognitive and/or mood disorders [ 11, 24- 28], while that of those < 65 is primarily characterized by chronic psychosis, personality and substance abuse disorders [ 10, 21- 23].
This paper recommends that health researchers interested in a multimorbidity measure using survey data, such as those available in the CCHSs or the CLSA for older populations should utilize either an additive scale or one weighted using a disability measure such as the OARS ADLs scale.
