A game-theoretic model for the classification of selected oil companies' price changes.

One of the essential properties of a machine learning model is to be able to capture nuanced connections within data. This ability can be enhanced by considering alternative solution concepts, such as those offered by game theory. In this article, the Nash equilibrium is used as a solution concept to estimate probit parameters for the binary classification problem.

Dandy-Walker malformation and Wisconsin syndrome: novel cases add further insight into the genotype-phenotype correlations of 3q23q25 deletions.

Background: The Dandy-Walker malformation (DWM) is one of the commonest congenital cerebellar defects, and can be associated with multiple congenital anomalies and chromosomal syndromes. The occurrence of overlapping 3q deletions including the ZIC1 and ZIC4 genes in few patients, along with data from mouse models, have implicated both genes in the pathogenesis of DWM.

Methods And Results: Using a SNP-array approach, we recently identified three novel patients carrying heterozygous 3q deletions encompassing ZIC1 and ZIC4.

Febrile seizures: is the EEG a useful predictor of recurrences?

We examined the predictive value of a paroxysmal EEG in children with febrile seizures seen at the University Pediatric Clinic, Skopje, Macedonia, between 1982 and 1984. This was the only facility providing EEG or neurologic consultation for children in Macedonia, and almost all children in the area who experienced a febrile seizure were referred to this facility. EEGs were classified as epileptiform if they contained spikes and sharp waves or spike wave complexes, which were either focal or generalized, and were considered abnormal for age and state.

Febrile seizures: clinical characteristics and initial EEG.

We examined the relationship between clinical characteristics and EEG classification in all children with febrile seizures examined at the University Pediatric Clinic, Skopje, Yugoslavia between 1982 and 1984. This is the only facility in Macedonia providing EEG or neurologic consultation for children. EEGs were classified as paroxysmally abnormal if they contained spikes, sharp waves, or spike-wave complexes considered abnormal for age.
