Statistical models have been the first choice for comparative effectiveness in clinical research. Though effective, these models are limited when the data to be analyzed do not fit the assumed distributions; which is mostly the case when the study...
The number of refugees being uprooted from their homes to seek refuge and resettlement in countries like the United States continues to grow, with large numbers being children. While each refugee group has its own set of challenges when adjusting...
This study defines a new approach for building a Web Services based infrastructure for distributed data mining applications. The proposed architecture provides a roadmap for "autonomic" functionality of the infrastructure hiding the...
Background . Heart failure treatment guidelines emphasize the importance of daily weight monitoring. To support this practice, the Health Care Financing Administration Heart Failure Demonstration Project (2000) was designed to evaluate the effect...
The distance education literature is lacking studies investigating the construct of social presence, the value placed on it by online learners, and whether its existence in text-based environments is necessary for learning, satisfaction, and...
The impact of socioeconomic status on the diagnosis, treatment, survival, and overall quality of life in persons with cancer has been well documented. Yet, many studies overlook the relevance of socioeconomic factors when measuring the impact of...
