Corporate Real Estate alignment by Monique Arkesteijn

“…Following Barzilai (2010), all tangible and intangible values are categorized either as physical or nonphysical properties of an object. To enable the application of mathematical operations to these non-physical properties, such as preference, Barzilai (2010) developed a theory of (preference) measurement as well as a practical evaluation methodology Preference Function Modeling for constructing proper preference scales. …”

Feature selection and aggregation for antibiotic resistance GWAS in Mycobacterium tuberculosis: a comparative study by Kirill Reshetnikov, Daria Bykova, Daria Bykova, Konstantin Kuleshov, Konstantin Kuleshov, Konstantin Chukreev, Egor Guguchkin, Alexey Neverov, Gennady Fedonin

“…However, high correlations between the phenotypic states for commonly used drugs complicate the inference of true associations of mutations with drug phenotypes by ML approaches.MethodsRecently, several new methods have been developed to select a small subset of reliable predictors of the dependent variable, which may help reduce the number of spurious associations identified. In this study, we evaluated several such methods, namely, logistic regression with different regularization penalty functions, a recently introduced algorithm for solving the best-subset selection problem (ABESS) and “Hungry, Hungry SNPos” (HHS) a heuristic algorithm specifically developed to identify resistance-associated genetic variants in the presence of resistance co-occurrence. …”
