Few studies have investigated the usefulness of pattern classification methods based on structural MRI in mood disorders, with inconsistent results.
This study will make it possible to investigate the usefulness of the classification system for patients with more chronic LBP symptoms.
The lack of correlation with intraoperative findings (Gozzard et al. 2003) limits the usefulness of such classification in a study of this nature.
Up until now, a limited number of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies have investigated the usefulness of pattern classification methods in the evaluation of affective disorders, producing variable results.
We describe these in detail, and illustrate the usefulness of our classification scheme by providing a number of examples that demonstrate how it can be employed to gain specific mechanistic insights into the dynamics of gene regulation.
Although not a planned objective, this study allowed assessment of the usefulness of an adult classification system for EE in the pediatric population, the Los Angeles (LA) Classification System.
To evaluate the usefulness of a risk classification based on context framing, i.e. whether the risk is discussed for one or several alternative treatments, and/or in the same context as possible benefits.
Clinical validation is needed to further define and confirm the usefulness of the new classification.
These studies emphasised the usefulness of texture-based classification techniques in identifying tumour subtypes.
Thus, for practical applications, having prediction confidence together with the actual predictions greatly extends the usefulness of QSAR and classification models.
