A new CPXR Based Logistic Regression Method and Clinical Prognostic Modeling ...Vahid Taslimitehrani
Presented at 15th International Conference on BioInformatics and BioEngineering (BIBE2014)
Prognostic modeling is central to medicine, as it is often used to predict patients’ outcome and response to treatments and to identify important medical risk factors. Logistic regression is one of the most used approaches for clinical pre- diction modeling. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is an important public health issue and a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. In this study, we adapt CPXR (Contrast Pattern Aided Regression, a recently introduced regression method), to develop a new logistic regression method called CPXR(Log), for general binary outcome prediction (including prognostic modeling), and we use the method to carry out prognostic modeling for TBI using admission time data. The models produced by CPXR(Log) achieved AUC as high as 0.93 and specificity as high as 0.97, much better than those reported by previous studies. Our method produced interpretable prediction models for diverse patient groups for TBI, which show that different kinds of patients should be evaluated differently for TBI outcome prediction and the odds ratios of some predictor variables differ significantly from those given by previous studies; such results can be valuable to physicians.
Email List Verification Process ExplainedeHygienics
Email verification is all about non-return email deliverability by avoiding auto responders that can hurt your sender reputation. Valid emails without a return-path are favorable with email administrators and email service providers. The more emails you send, the more likely you will encounter bounces (hard or soft), vacation emails, challenge responses, replies from list servers or feedback reports. Here is email list verification process explained:
Creating Effective PowerPoint® Presentations
Microsoft® PowerPoint® is a tool for creating dynamic oral presentations. An effective PowerPoint® presentation has maximum impact on an audience in minimal time. If you have been assigned a PowerPoint® in addition to an essay or instead of an essay, here are the key similarities [+] and differences [x] between these two forms:
Table 1
Elements of an Essay and a PowerPoint Presentation
Elements
Essay
PowerPoint®
Design
x Text-based, regular black font, one inch margins, double spacing
+ Visual design: color, theme, and layout options; art and multimedia options
Title
+ Title page
+ Title slide
Introduction
+ Topic, issue, thesis statement
+ Slide title (topic); key points
Body
+ Paragraphs featuring one point each
+ Slides featuring one point each
Conclusion
+ Recap of main point, final thoughts
+ Slide listing recap of main points
Paragraphs
+ Unified and cohesive paragraphs with topic and concluding sentences
x Unordered (bulleted) lists or a captioned image to convey key points
Sentences
Complete sentences
x One-line fragments; unordered list (bullet points).
Lists
x Occasionally used to separate elements in a sentence.
+Lists are the building blocks of a PowerPoint®.
Visuals/art
+ Tables, charts, and graphs display data and research results and make a paper visually appealing.
+ Images, art, tables, charts, and graphs increase the impact and visual appeal of a presentation.
In-text citations
+ Quotes, paraphrases, summaries, and visuals require in-text citations.
+ Quotes, paraphrases, and summaries, and visuals require in-text citations.
Reference list
+ Last page lists full-citation references.
+ Last slide lists full-citation references
GETTING STARTED WITH SLIDES
Similar to drafting an essay, when creating a PowerPoint®, you need to define your topic and focus, determine your audience, and know your purpose--whether you are informing, educating, entertaining, or persuading.
Another essential step that takes as much time when creating a PowerPoint® as it does when writing an essay is to research your subject matter and prewrite your ideas. A next step is to make an informal outline to organize your ideas and establish a clear beginning middle and end. With the groundwork complete and content prepared, you are ready to create Slide 1.
Slide 1
1. New presentations begin with a title slide. Follow the directions given in the text placeholders beginning with “click to add title” (Figure 2).
2. Then, in the next box, add your subtitle. You may also use this area to provide your name and the university name per APA guidelines or any other information required on your title slide.
3. Since a PowerPoint® accompanies an oral presentation, you may want to add speaker notes in the notes pane to elaborate on the points on each slide.

PRESENTATION
Microsoft presentation software (PowerPoint) includes text-editing and graphics tools that can create slides for public presentations. The presentations can be printed, projected, displayed on a monitor, saved and published as Web pages.

3. Best Practices in PPT Making
There should be an Opening and Closing Slide
The next Slide should be on the Content
Whole PPT should be on uniform theme in design
An Official PPT Design should be as prescribed by the Organization
All slides should be uniform in Size, Colour, Format, Type of Boxes,
Text etc. unless something is to be highlighted otherwise
Headings, Titles, Bullets, Content may have different sizes, but uniform
Charts, Boxes, Text etc should not overlap each other
Use Grid Lines & Guides (in View Menu) for easy, uniform and correct
placement
Always re-check your slide headings and content for Sanctity
Always try and use the maximum space available in each slide
Always leave some margin at Top, Down, Left and Right of the slide
Always use light colours in Chart and Boxes, but Dark Colours in Text
MS Office does many things in Auto, but never holds the user from
customizing
Commentary / Remarks / Explanatory Notes should not simply read the
already visible Text / Charts / Content
4. Slide Layout
Slide Layout allows us to place different contents in the
slide viz. Text, Columns, Pictures, Charts, SmartArt etc.
5. Standard Designs / Templates
Follow the Organization specific Template or
Choose a Pre-Designed Template from Design Menu
Don’t Change the Standard Sizes and Fonts of of
Headings, Titles, Sub-Titles, Bullet Points etc.
6. Slide Size and Background
Choose / Customize Size and Background from “Design”
7. Slide Variants
Slides Variants allow us to creatively Re-Design the Slide
with Colour Scheme, Fonts, Effects and Background
8. Transitions
Transitions are the mode of Animation which can be
used for movement from one slide to another
It also offers different customization options of
Duration, Sound and Trigger
It can be made “Apply to All”, else on current slide
9. Animations
Animations can be added to any Text, Text Box, Charts,
Designs, Content, SmartArt etc, together or in sequence
Animations (Visual and Sound) can be chosen and
customized to suit the Content and Context of PPT
Animations become part of the Content and move with
it when copied and pasted
10. View Options
Gridlines and Guides can help in uniform Placement
Different view options may help in viewing and selecting
one / multiple slides at a time, with / without Notes
Colour / Grey Scale / Black & White Viewing Options
11. Insert
Other than General options as available in MS Word also,
there are SmartArt choices in Insert Option
Smart Art can be chosen, expanded and customized as
per the desired content
12. Importing Content
Any Content viz. Text, Text Boxes, Tables, Charts etc.
can be Imported / Pasted into a PPT
It gives options of Formats to be applied after Pasting
It is better to use “Embed” or “Keep Source Formatting
13. Slide Show
F5 can Start / Restart Presentation from Beginning
Shift + F5 or the Presentation Button at the bottom
ribbon starts it from the Current Slide
Any Slide can be hidden from Presentation, while still
keeping it there in the file
14. Best Practices in Presenting
Always try to rehearse it at the same Venue
Try and present with a Bluetooth Presenter device
Don’t jump on topics which might later appear in subsequent
slides
Allow users the required time to read the Slide Content
Don’t write everything in the slide, which makes is messy and
leaves no scope for Explanation by the Presenter
If you would be able to look at the Laptop / Computer / I-pad,
while presenting, put your notes besides the slide so that
those are visible to you in Presenter Mode
