Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of premature death in the United Kingdom with one type, coronary artery disease, killing more than twice as many women as breast cancer. Conventional CVD risk factors have been shown to have less accu...

A study and development of Bayesian exemplar based models (2008)
Thesis
People think and reason about situations using past experience. Often, past
experience consists of stereotypes and exemplars that depict common situations.
In order for a computer to reason in a similar way, the identification and
representation o... Read More about A study and development of Bayesian exemplar based models.
A probabilistic examplar based model (1998)
Thesis
Rodriguez Martinez, A. A probabilistic examplar based model. (Thesis). University of SalfordA central problem in case based reasoning (CBR) is how to store and retrieve
cases. One approach to this problem is to use exemplar based models, where only
the prototypical cases are stored. However, the development of an exemplar based
model (EB... Read More about A probabilistic examplar based model.
Any time probabilistic sensor validation (1997)
Thesis
Ibarguengoytia, P. Any time probabilistic sensor validation. (Thesis). University of Salford, UKMany applications of computing, such as those in medicine and the control of manufacturing and power plants, utilize sensors to obtain information. Unfortunately, sensors are prone to failures. Even with the most sophisticated instruments and control... Read More about Any time probabilistic sensor validation.
From English to formal specifications (1994)
Thesis
Meziane, F. From English to formal specifications. (Thesis). University of SalfordSpecifications provide the foundation upon which a system can be formally developed. If a specification is wrong, then no matter what method of design is used, or what quality assurance procedures are in place, they will
not result in a system that... Read More about From English to formal specifications.
Elliptical cost-sensitive decision tree algorithm - ECSDT
Thesis
Kassim, M. (in press). Elliptical cost-sensitive decision tree algorithm - ECSDT. (Thesis). University of SalfordCost-sensitive multiclass classification problems, in which the task of assessing the impact of the costs associated with different misclassification errors, continues to be one of the major challenging areas for data mining and machine learning....

A framework for employee appraisals based on inductive logic programming and data mining methods
Thesis
Aqel, D. A framework for employee appraisals based on inductive logic programming and data mining methods. (Thesis). University of SalfordEmployee performance appraisal systems are widely regarded as fundamental for evaluating employees’ performance and enhancing organisations’ success. Yet, there is evidence that employees doubt their benefits and fairness, organisations find them dif...

Cost-sensitive decision tree learning using a multi-armed bandit framework
Thesis
Lomax, S. Cost-sensitive decision tree learning using a multi-armed bandit framework. (Thesis). University of SalfordDecision tree learning is one of the main methods of learning from data. It has been applied to a variety of different domains over the past three decades. In the real world, accuracy is not enough; there are costs involved, those of obtaining the da...
