Machine learning algorithms (MLAs) are used to solve complex non-linear and high-dimensional problems. The objective of this study was to identify the MLA that generates an accurate spatial distribution model of bark beetle (Ips typographus L.) infestation spots. We first evaluated the performance of 2 linear (logistic regression, linear discriminant analysis), 4 non-linear (quadratic discriminant analysis, k-nearest neighbors classifier, Gaussian naive Bayes, support vector classification), and 4 decision trees-based MLAs (decision tree classifier, random forest classifier, extra trees classifier, gradient boosting classifier) for the study area (the Horní Planá region, Czech Republic) for the period 2003–2012. Each MLA was trained and tested on all subsets of the 8 explanatory variables (distance to forest damage spots from previous year, distance to spruce forest edge, potential global solar radiation, normalized difference vegetation index, spruce forest age, percentage of spruce, volume of spruce wood per hectare, stocking). The mean phi coefficient of the model generated by extra trees classifier (ETC) MLA with five explanatory variables for the period was significantly greater than that of most forest damage models generated by the other MLAs. The mean true positive rate of the best ETC-based model was 80.4%, and the mean true negative rate was 80.0%. The spatio-temporal simulations of bark beetle-infested forests based on MLAs and GIS tools will facilitate the development and testing of novel forest management strategies for preventing forest damage in general and bark beetle outbreaks in particular.

Analysis Of Social Networks

The analysis of social networks has attracted a lot of attention during the last two decades. These networks are dynamic: new links appear and disappear. Link prediction is the problem of inferring links that will appear in the future from the actual state of the network. We use information from nodes and edges and calculate the similarity between users. The more users are similar, the higher the probability of their connection in the future will be. The similarity metrics play an important role in the link prediction field. Due to their simplicity and flexibility, many authors have proposed several metrics such as Jaccard, AA, and Katz and evaluated them using the area under the curve (AUC). In this paper, we propose a new parameterized method to enhance the AUC value of the link prediction metrics by combining them with the mean received resources (MRRs). Experiments show that the proposed method improves the performance of the state-of-the-art metrics. Moreover, we used machine learning algorithms to classify links and confirm the efficiency of the proposed combination.

Simple Regression

Perhaps one of the most common and comprehensive statistical and machine learning algorithms are linear regression. Linear regression is used to find a linear relationship between one or more predictors. The linear regression has two types: simple regression and multiple regression (MLR). This paper discusses various works by different researchers on linear regression and polynomial regression and compares their performance using the best approach to optimize prediction and precision. Almost all of the articles analyzed in this review is focused on datasets; in order to determine a model's efficiency, it must be correlated with the actual values obtained for the explanatory variables.

Tremor is an involuntary quivering movement or shake. Characteristically occurring at rest, the classic slow, rhythmic tremor of Parkinson's disease (PD) typically starts in one hand, foot, or leg and can eventually affect both sides of the body. The resting tremor of PD can also occur in the jaw, chin, mouth, or tongue. Loss of dopamine leads to the symptoms of Parkinson's disease and may include a tremor. For some people, a tremor might be the first symptom of PD. Various studies have proposed measurable technologies and the analysis of the characteristics of Parkinsonian tremors using different techniques. Various machine-learning algorithms such as a support vector machine (SVM) with three kernels, a discriminant analysis, a random forest, and a kNN algorithm are also used to classify and identify various kinds of tremors. This chapter focuses on an in-depth review on identification and classification of various Parkinsonian tremors using machine learning algorithms.

AbstractObjectivesTo assess 1) differences in the hemodynamic response to the active stand test in older adults with a clinical diagnosis of vasovagal syncope compared to age-matched controls 2) if the active stand test combined with machine learning approaches can be used to identify the presence of vasovagal syncope in older adults.ApproachAdults aged 50 and over (Vasovagal Syncope N=46 Age=66.9±10.3; Control N=86 Age=65.3±9.5) completed an active stand test. Multiple features were extracted to characterize the hemodynamic responses to the active stand test and were compared between groups. Classification was performed using machine learning algorithms including linear discriminant analysis, quadratic discriminant analysis, support vector machine and an ensemble majority vote classifier.Main ResultsSubjects with vasovagal syncope demonstrated a higher resting (supine) heart rate (69.8±13.1 bpm vs 63.3±12.1 bpm; P=0.007), a smaller initial systolic blood pressure drop (−20.2±20.1% vs −27.3±17.5%; P=0.005), larger drops in stroke volume (−14.7±24.0% vs −2.7±23.3%; P=0.010) and cardiac output (−6.4±18.5% vs 5.8±22.3%;P<0.001) and a larger increase in total peripheral resistance (8.1±30.4% vs −6.03±22.8%; P=0.002) compared to controls. A majority vote classifier identified the presence of vasovagal syncope with 82.6% sensitivity, 76.8% specificity, and average accuracy of 78.9%.SignificanceOlder adults with vasovagal syncope display a unique hemodynamic and autonomic response to active standing characterized by relative autonomic hypersensitivity and larger drops in cardiac output compared to age-matched controls. With suitable machine learning algorithms, the active stand test holds the potential to be used to screen older adults for reflex syncopes and hypotensive susceptibility potentially reducing test time, cost, and patient discomfort. More broadly this paper presents a machine learning framework to support use of the active stand test for classification of clinical outcomes of interest.

Bci System

A brain–computer interface (BCI) can be used for people with severe physical disabilities such as ALS or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. BCI can allow these individuals to communicate again by creating a new communication channel directly from the brain to an output device. BCI technology can allow paralyzed people to share their intent with others, and thereby demonstrate that direct communication from the brain to the external world is possible and that it might serve useful functions. BCI systems include machine learning algorithms (MLAs). Their performance depends on the feature extraction and classification techniques employed. In this paper, we propose a system to exploit the P300 signal in the brain, a positive deflection in event-related potentials. The P300 signal can be incorporated into a spelling device. There are two benefits behind this kind of research. First of all, this work presents the research status and the advantages of communication via a BCI system, especially the P300 BCI system for disordered people, and the related literature review is presented. Secondly, the paper discusses the performance of different machine learning algorithms. Two different datasets are presented: the first dataset 2004 and the second dataset 2019. A preprocessing step is introduced to the subjects in both datasets first to extract the important features before applying the proposed machine learning methods: linear discriminant analysis (LDA I and LDA II), support vector machine (SVM I, SVM II, SVM III, and SVM IV), linear regression (LREG), Bayesian linear discriminant analysis (BLDA), and twin support vector machine (TSVM). By comparing the performance of the different machine learning systems, in the first dataset it is found that BLDA and SVMIV classifiers yield the highest performance for both subjects “A” and “B”. BLDA yields 98% and 66% for 15th and 5th sequences, respectively, whereas SVMIV yields 98% and 54.4% for 15th and 5th sequences, respectively. While in the second dataset, it is obvious that BLDA classifier yields the highest performance for both subjects “1” and “2”, it achieves 90.115%. The paper summarizes the P300 BCI system for the two introduced datasets. It discusses the proposed system, compares the classification methods performances, and considers some aspects for the future work to be handled. The results show high accuracy and less computational time which makes the system more applicable for online applications.

Fine Spatial Resolution

The variation of soil moisture (SM) is a complex and synthetic process, which is impacted by numerous factors. The effects of these factors on soil moisture are dynamic. As a result, the relationship between soil moisture and explanatory variables varies with time and season. This kind of change should be considered in obtaining fine spatial resolution soil moisture products. We chose a study area with four distinct seasons in the temperate monsoon region. In this research, we established seasonal downscaling models to avoid the influence of seasonal differences. Precipitation, land surface temperature, evapotranspiration, vegetation index, land cover, elevation, slope, aspect and soil texture were taken as explanatory variables to produce fine spatial resolution SM. SM products derived from Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer–Earth Observing System (AMSR-E) and Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 (AMSR2) were downscaled with the help of machine learning algorithms. We compared three machine learning algorithms of random forest (RF), support vector machine (SVM), and K-nearest neighbors (KNN) to determine the most suitable algorithm for this study. The results show that season-based downscaling is even better than continuous time series. In the analysis of seasonal differences, precipitation plays a dominant role, but its contribution rate is different in each season. Moreover, the influence of vegetation is more prominent in winter, while the influence of terrain is more important in the other three seasons. It could be noted that the accuracy of the RF model is the best among three machine learning algorithms, and the RF-downscaled products have superior matching performance to both AMSR (AMSR-E and AMSR2) SM products and in-situ measurements. The analysis indicates considering seasonal difference and the application of machine learning has high potential for spatial downscaling in remote sensing applications.
