Interpreting Health Events In Big Data Using Qualitative Traditions, Roschelle L. Fritz, Gordana Dermody Jan 2020

Interpreting Health Events In Big Data Using Qualitative Traditions, Roschelle L. Fritz, Gordana Dermody

Research outputs 2014 to 2021

© The Author(s) 2020. The training of artificial intelligence requires integrating real-world context and mathematical computations. To achieve efficacious smart health artificial intelligence, contextual clinical knowledge serving as ground truth is required. Qualitative methods are well-suited to lend consistent and valid ground truth. In this methods article, we illustrate the use of qualitative descriptive methods for providing ground truth when training an intelligent agent to detect Restless Leg Syndrome. We show how one interdisciplinary, inter-methodological research team used both sensor-based data and the participant’s description of their experience with an episode of Restless Leg Syndrome for training the intelligent agent. …


Cooperative Co-Evolution For Feature Selection In Big Data With Random Feature Grouping, A.N.M. Bazlur Rashid, Mohiuddin Ahmed, Leslie F. Sikos, Paul Haskell-Dowland Jan 2020

Cooperative Co-Evolution For Feature Selection In Big Data With Random Feature Grouping, A.N.M. Bazlur Rashid, Mohiuddin Ahmed, Leslie F. Sikos, Paul Haskell-Dowland

Research outputs 2014 to 2021

© 2020, The Author(s). A massive amount of data is generated with the evolution of modern technologies. This high-throughput data generation results in Big Data, which consist of many features (attributes). However, irrelevant features may degrade the classification performance of machine learning (ML) algorithms. Feature selection (FS) is a technique used to select a subset of relevant features that represent the dataset. Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) are widely used search strategies in this domain. A variant of EAs, called cooperative co-evolution (CC), which uses a divide-and-conquer approach, is a good choice for optimization problems. The existing solutions have poor performance because …

© 2020, The Author(s). Following publication of the original article [1], the author reported that the 2nd author affiliation was incorrect. It should only be “School of Science, Edith Cowan University, Joondalup, WA, Australia”. The affiliation is presented correctly in this correction article. The original article [1] has been corrected.


Imputation Of Missing Data From Time-Lapse Cameras Used In Recreational Fishing Surveys, Ebenezer Afrifa-Yamoah, Stephen M. Taylor, Aiden Fisher, Ute Mueller Jan 2020

Imputation Of Missing Data From Time-Lapse Cameras Used In Recreational Fishing Surveys, Ebenezer Afrifa-Yamoah, Stephen M. Taylor, Aiden Fisher, Ute Mueller

Research outputs 2014 to 2021

While remote camera surveys have the potential to improve the accuracy of recreational fishing estimates, missing data are common and require robust analytical techniques to impute. Time-lapse cameras are being used in Western Australia to monitor recreational boating activities, but outages have occurred. Generalized linear mixed effect models formulated in a fully conditional specification multiple imputation framework were used to reconstruct missing data, with climatic and some temporal classifications as covariates. Using a complete 12-month camera record of hourly counts of recreational powerboat retrievals, data were simulated based on ten observed camera outage patterns, with a missing proportion of between …
