A generalization of artificial neuron by substitution of neural convolution to arbitrary multi-parametric function. Weights of synapses have been changed to the set of parameters and a learning algorithm has been modified as well. Even one single “smart neuron” is sufficient for finding...

Linear Data Filtering is noted as very common for use in practical applications. However, this important algorithm distorts the result, making a signal smoother than actually needed. Few steps of the described procedure, allow for the correction of the distortion. For proof of effectiveness,...

Social capital has been shown to be associated with reduced mortality due to cardiovascular disease. Our aim was to determine the association of time-varying community-level social capital (CSC) with recurrence of acute coronary syndrome using a retrospective cohort study design. A total of...
