Until now, numerous effort estimation models for software projects have been developed, most of them producing accurate results but not providing the flexibility to decision makers during the software development process. The main objective of this study is to objectively and accurately estimate the effort when using the Scrum methodology. A dynamic effort estimation model is developed by using regression-based machine learning algorithms. Story point as a unit of measure is used for estimating the effort involved in an issue. Projects are divided into phases and the phases are respectively divided into iterations and issues. Effort estimation is performed for each issue, then the total effort is calculated with aggregate functions respectively for iteration, phase and project. This architecture of our model provides flexibility to decision makers in any case of deviation from the project plan. An empirical evaluation demonstrates that the error rate of our story point-based estimation model is better than others.

Estimating the correct respiratory rate (RR) is an essential technique for intensive care units, hospitals, geriatric hospital facilities, and home care services. Capnography is a standard methodology used to monitor carbon dioxide concentrations or partial pressures of respiratory gases to provide the most accurate RR measurements. However, it is inconvenient to use and has been primarily used while administering anesthesia and during intensive care. Many researchers now use electrocardiogram signals to estimate RR. Despite the recent developments, the current hospital environments suffer from inaccurate respiratory monitoring. While various machine learning techniques, including deep learning, have recently been applied to the medical processing sector, only a few studies have been conducted in the field of RR estimation. Therefore, using photoplethysmography, machine-learning techniques such as the ensemble gradient boosting algorithm are being employed in RR estimation. Multi-phases are used based on various feature extraction and selection methodology to improve the performance for RR estimation. In this study, the number of ensembles is increased, and the proposed ensemble methodology is effectively learned to estimate the RR. The proposed ensemble-based gradient boosting algorithm are compared with those of ensemble-based long-short memory network, and ensemble-based supported vector regression techniques, 3.30 breaths per min (bpm), 4.82 bpm and 5.83 bpm based on mean absolute errors. The proposed method shows a more accurate estimate of the respiration rate.

It is widely accepted that conventional boost algorithms are of low efficiency and accuracy in dealing with big data collected from wind turbine operations. To address this issue, this paper is devoted to the application of an adaptive LightGBM method for wind turbine fault detections. To this end, the realization of feature selection for fault detection is firstly achieved by utilizing the maximum information coefficient to analyze the correlation among features in supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) of wind turbines. After that, a performance evaluation criterion is proposed for the improved LightGBM model to support fault detections. In this scheme, by embedding the confusion matrix as a performance indicator, an improved LightGBM fault detection approach is then developed. Based on the adaptive LightGBM fault detection model, a fault detection strategy for wind turbine gearboxes is investigated. To demonstrate the applications of the proposed algorithms and methods, a case study with a three-year SCADA dataset obtained from a wind farm sited in Southern China is conducted. Results indicate that the proposed approaches established a fault detection framework of wind turbine systems with either lower false alarm rate or lower missing detection rate.

Grinding being a finishing process, the quality of the ground surface is one of the most important performance evaluation parameters. Grinding process being highly stochastic in nature, surface finish is affected by many factors and experimental evaluation of each factor is a tedious task. In this study, the in-process signals collected using various sensors attached to a cylindrical grinding machine such as Accelerometer and Power are processed, and their features are correlated with a surface finish parameter. This correlation is modelled using gradient boosting algorithm and surface finish obtained is predicted and validated on an industrial application.

BACKGROUND: Early prediction of preeclampsia is challenging because of poorly understood causes, various risk factors, and likely multiple pathogenic phenotypes of preeclampsia. Statistical learning methods are well-equipped to deal with a large number of variables, such as patients' clinical and laboratory data, and to select the most informative features automatically. OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to use statistical learning methods to analyze all available clinical and laboratory data that were obtained during routine prenatal visits in early pregnancy and to use them to develop a prediction model for preeclampsia. STUDY DESIGN: This was a retrospective cohort study that used data from 16,370 births at Lucile Packard Children Hospital at Stanford, CA, from April 2014 to January 2018. Two statistical learning algorithms were used to build a predictive model: (1) elastic net and (2) gradient boosting algorithm. Models for all preeclampsia and early-onset preeclampsia (<34 weeks gestation) were fitted with the use of patient data that were available at <16 weeks gestational age. The 67 variables that were considered in the models included maternal characteristics, medical history, routine prenatal laboratory results, and medication intake. The area under the receiver operator curve, true-positive rate, and false-positive rate were assessed via cross-validation. RESULTS: Using the elastic net algorithm, we developed a prediction model that contained a subset of the most informative features from all variables. The obtained prediction model for preeclampsia yielded an area under the curve of 0.79 (95% confidence interval, 0.75-0.83), sensitivity of 45.2%, and false-positive rate of 8.1%. The prediction model for early-onset preeclampsia achieved an area under the curve of 0.89 (95% confidence interval, 0.84-0.95), true-positive rate of 72.3%, and false-positive rate of 8.8%. CONCLUSION: Statistical learning methods in a retrospective cohort study automatically identif

Machine learning is being widely used in various medical fields. Advances in medical technologies have given access to better data for identifying symptoms of various diseases in early stages. Alzheimer's disease is chronic condition that leads to degeneration of brain cells leading at memory enervation. Patients with cognitive mental problems such as confusion and forgetfulness, also other symptoms including behavioral and psychological problems are further suggested having CT, MRI, PET, EEG, and other neuroimaging techniques. The aim of this paper is making use of machine learning algorithms to process this data obtained by neuroimaging technologies for detection of Alzheimer's in its primitive stage.

Total daily solar irradiation for the next day is forecasted through an ensemble of multiple machine learning algorithms using forecasted weather scenarios from numerical weather prediction (NWP) models. The weather scenarios were predicted at grid points whose longitudes and latitudes are integers, but the total daily solar irradiation was measured at non-integer grid points. Therefore, six interpolation functions are used to interpolate weather scenarios at non-integer grid points, and their performances are compared. Furthermore, when the total daily solar irradiation for the next day is forecasted, many data trimming techniques, such as outlier detection, input data clustering, input data pre-processing, and output data post-processing techniques, are developed and compared. Finally, various combinations of these ensemble techniques, different NWP scenarios, and machine learning algorithms are compared. The best model is to combine multiple forecasting machines through weighted averaging and to use all NWP scenarios.
