    Cloud hosted business-data driven BI platforms

    No full text
    Business Intelligence in Platform as a Service (PaaS) for information analysis is increasingly being considered for its applications in the enterprises because of its advantages. It is widely used for Data Analysis, Customer Churn Prediction, etc. However, the challenges that the traditional BI platform faces includes the tremendous volume of data, high time and space complexity of algorithms and the incompatibility in the Integration to the BI tools. Thus instead of having traditional Data Warehouses for storage which require high maintenance and storages, companies are moving towards more efficient cloud based storages

    Small sample multiple testing with application to cDNA microarray data

    Many tests have been developed for comparing means in a two-sample scenario. Microarray experiments lead to thousands of such comparisons in a single study. Several multiple testing procedures are available to control experiment-wise error or the false discovery rate. In this dissertation, individual two-sample tests are compared based on accuracy, correctness, and power. Four multiple testing procedures are compared via simulation, based on data from the lab of Dr. Rajesh Miranda. The effect of sample size on power is also carefully examined. The two sample t-test followed by the Benjamini and Hochberg (1995) false discovery rate controlling procedure result in the highest power

    Assessment and Prevention Of Falls In Elderly: Nurses’ Role

    Get PDF
    Falls in elderlies has been a major concern in geriatric care. One out of three elderlies have been falling every year and the many more elderlies are constantly at risk of falls. These falls lead to serious injuries like hip fractures and build sense of fear in elderlies, which limit their activities and degrade their quality of life. There has been seen a huge need to enhance the skill and knowledge of the present and future nurses to ensure that they are professionally and personally capable to identify the risk factors and plan prevention strategies accordingly. Literature review has been used in this thesis to find out the possible assessment methods to assess the risk factors of falls in elderly, the vulnerable groups of elderlies who have higher chances of falling. In addition, the possible falls prevention strategies have been studied and laid out in this thesis. A total of 11 relevant articles were obtained from a reliable database search. The contents of the thesis have been categorized into distinct assessment and prevention headings for ease of reading and finding required information. In the conclusion end, the author has presented his own ideas and discussed the additional need for safety of elderlies

    Tight Lower Bounds for Approximate & Exact k-Center in Rd

    In the discrete k-Center problem, we are given a metric space (P, dist) where \textbarP \textbar = n and the goal is to select a set C ? P of k centers which minimizes the maximum distance of a point in P from its nearest center. For any ? > 0, Agarwal and Procopiuc SODA'98, Algorithmica'02 designed an (1 + ?)-approximation algorithm1 for this problem in d-dimensional Euclidean space2 which runs in O(dn log k) + ( k? )O(k1-1/d) · nO(1) time. In this paper we show that their algorithm is essentially optimal: if for some d = 2 and some computable function f, there is an f(k)· ( 1? )o(k1-1/d) ·no(k1-1/d) time algorithm for (1 + ?)-approximating the discrete k-Center on n points in d-dimensional Euclidean space then the Exponential Time Hypothesis (ETH) fails. We obtain our lower bound by designing a gap reduction from a d-dimensional constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) to discrete d-dimensional k-Center. This reduction has the property that there is a fixed value ? (depending on the CSP) such that the optimal radius of k-Center instances corresponding to satisfiable and unsatisfiable instances of the CSP is \< 1 and = (1 + ?) respectively. Our claimed lower bound on the running time for approximating discrete k-Center in d-dimensions then follows from the lower bound due to Marx and Sidiropoulos SoCG'14 for checking the satisfiability of the aforementioned d-dimensional CSP. As a byproduct of our reduction, we also obtain that the exact algorithm of Agarwal and Procopiuc SODA'98, Algorithmica'02 which runs in nO(d·k1-1/d) time for discrete k-Center on n points in d-dimensional Euclidean space is asymptotically optimal. Formally, we show that if for some d = 2 and some computable function f, there is an f(k) · no(k1-1/d) time exact algorithm for the discrete k-Center problem on n points in d-dimensional Euclidean space then the Exponential Time Hypothesis (ETH) fails. Previously, such a lower bound was only known for d = 2 and was implicit in the work of Marx IWPEC'06. © Rajesh Chitnis and Nitin Saurabh; licensed under Creative Commons License CC-BY 4.
