Machine Learning and Statistical Analyses of Sensor Data Reveal Variability Between Repeated Trials in Parkinson’s Disease Mobility Assessments by Rana M. Khalil, Lisa M. Shulman, Ann L. Gruber-Baldini, Sunita Shakya, Jeffrey M. Hausdorff, Rainer von Coelln, Michael P. Cummings

“…Although the total duration remains relatively consistent between trials (intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) = 0.62 to 0.95), greater variability is seen in subtask duration and sensor-derived measures, reflected in machine learning performance and statistical differences. …”

An Analysis of Cotton Production Technology on the Harran Plain by Abdulbaki Bılgıc, Seyda Ipekcıoglu, Tamer Isgın

“…In this research, it was aimed to determine effects of three production factors; labor, capital, and land, on the current level of cotton output produced by a sample of local cotton farmers operating on the Harran Plain in Turkey and whether this relation may be used to assess the returns-to-scale parameter, also known as the function coefficient in the production economics literature. …”

Five functional domains associated with gait performance in Parkinson’s disease and lateral trunk flexion by Keisuke Ota, Hiroki Mani, Keita Nochimura, Yuichi Nakashiro, Shinsuke Hamada, Fumio Moriwaka

“…The participants walked with a motion sensor on a straight 20 m path at a comfortable speed. Fifteen gait variables (10 gait cycles) were evaluated and categorized into pace, rhythm, asymmetry, variability, and postural control functional domains and were compared between groups.ResultsThe LTF angle, SVV angle; MDS-UPDRS-Part III total, rigidity, and axial scores; and the coefficients of variance for step length, step time, and stance time were significantly higher in the LTF group than in the No LTF group. …”
