Objective: To optimize the electrodiagnosis of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) subtypes at first study.
Methods: The reference electrodiagnosis was obtained in 53 demyelinating and 45 axonal GBS patients on the basis of two serial studies and results of anti-ganglioside antibodies assay. We retrospectively employed sparse linear discriminant analysis (LDA), two existing electrodiagnostic criteria sets (Hadden et al., 1998; Rajabally et al., 2015) and one we propose that additionally evaluates duration of motor responses, sural sparing pattern and defines reversible conduction failure (RCF) in motor and sensory nerves at second study.
Results: At first study the misclassification error rates, compared to reference diagnoses, were: 15.3% for sparse LDA, 30% for our criteria, 45% for Rajabally's and 48% for Hadden's. Sparse LDA identified seven most powerful electrophysiological variables differentiating demyelinating and axonal subtypes and assigned to each patient the diagnostic probability of belonging to either subtype. At second study 46.6% of axonal GBS patients showed RCF in two motor and 8.8% in two sensory nerves.
Conclusions: Based on a single study, sparse LDA showed the highest diagnostic accuracy. RCF is present in a considerable percentage of axonal patients.
Significance: Sparse LDA, a supervised statistical method of classification, should be introduced in the electrodiagnostic practice.

Article Synopsis
- Understanding how the origin of wheat affects the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in craft wheat beer can improve quality and emphasize local products.
- The study analyzed 17 different craft wheat beers made from various wheat types, revealing that wheat concentration was the most significant factor influencing VOCs, followed by species, age of the wheat, and altitude.
- Various statistical methods were used to classify beers based on their VOCs profiles, highlighting the importance of wheat source and cultivation location in authenticating craft beers, which has not been thoroughly explored before.
Multi-Task Learning and Sparse Discriminant Canonical Correlation Analysis for Identification of Diagnosis-Specific Genotype-Phenotype Association.
IEEE/ACM Trans Comput Biol Bioinform
October 2024
The primary objective of imaging genetics research is to investigate the complex genotype-phenotype association for the disease under study. For example, to understand the impact of genetic variations over the brain functions and structure, the genotypic data such as single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) is integrated with the phenotypic data such as imaging quantitative traits. The sparse models, based on canonical correlation analysis (CCA), are popular in this area to find the complex bi-multivariate genotype-phenotype association, as the number of features in genotypic and/or phenotypic data is significantly higher as compared to the number of samples.

Effective early fire detection is crucial for preventing damage to people and buildings, especially in fire-prone historic structures. However, due to the infrequent occurrence of fire events throughout a building's lifespan, real-world data for training models are often sparse. In this study, we applied feature representation transfer and instance transfer in the context of early fire detection using multi-sensor nodes.

Ordinal class labels are frequently observed in classification studies across various fields. In medical science, patients' responses to a drug can be arranged in the natural order, reflecting their recovery postdrug administration. The severity of the disease is often recorded using an ordinal scale, such as cancer grades or tumor stages.
