The main purpose of this article was to define a model that could defeat the online bookmakers’ odds, where the betting item considered was the first five innings of major league baseball (MLB) matches. The betting odds of online bookmakers have two purposes: first, they are used to quantify the amount of profit made by the bettors; second, they are regarded as a market equilibrium point between multiple bookmakers and bettors. If the bettors have a more accurate prediction model than the system used to produce betting odds, it will create a positive expected return for the bettors. In this article, we used the Markov process method and the runner advancement model to estimate the expected runs in an MLB match for the teams based on the batting lineup and the pitcher.

This paper proposes a new method to predict the spindle deformation based on temperature data. The method introduces ANFIS (adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system). For building the predictive model, we first extract temperature data from sensors in the spindle, and then they are used as the inputs to train ANFIS. To evaluate the performance of the prediction, an experiment is implemented. Three Pt-100 thermal resistances is used to monitor the spindle temperature, and an inductive current sensor is used to obtain the spindle deformation. The experimental results display that our prediction model can better predict the spindle deformation and improve the performance of the spindle.

Objective: To propose the prediction model for degree of differentiation for locally advanced esophageal cancer patients from the planning CT image by radiomics analysis with machine learning. Methods: Data of 104 patients with esophagus cancer, who underwent chemoradiotherapy followed by surgery at the Hiroshima University hospital from 2003 to 2016 were analyzed. The treatment outcomes of these tumors were known prior to the study. The data were split into 3 sets: 57/16 tumors for the training/validation and 31 tumors for model testing. The degree of differentiation of squamous cell carcinoma was classified into two groups. The first group (Group I) was a poorly differentiated (POR) patients. The second group (Group II) was well and moderately differentiated patients. The radiomics feature was extracted in the tumor and around the tumor regions. A total number of 3480 radiomics features per patient image were extracted from radiotherapy planning CT scan. Models were built with the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) logistic regression and applied to the set of candidate predictors. The radiomics features were used for the input data in the machine learning. To build predictive models with radiomics features, neural network classifiers was used. The precision, accuracy, sensitivity by generating confusion matrices, the area under the curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristic curve were evaluated. Results: By the LASSO analysis of the training data, we found 13 radiomics features from CT images for the classification. The accuracy of the prediction model was highest for using only CT radiomics features. The accuracy, specificity, and sensitivity of the predictive model were 85.4%, 88.6%, 80.0%, and the AUC was 0.92. Conclusion: The proposed predictive model showed high accuracy for the classification of the degree of the differentiation of esophagus cancer. Because of the good prediction ability of the method, the method may contribute to reducing the pathological examination by biopsy and predicting the local control. Advances in knowledge: For esophageal cancer, the differentiation of degree is the import indexes reflecting the aggressiveness. The current study proposed the prediction model for the differentiation of degree with radiomics analysis.

SUMMARYA quantitative description of the factors underlying seasonal changes in herbage digestibility is developed and applied to sets of data from S. 24 and S. 23 perennial ryegrass. A new variable, relative maturity, is used to describe the effect of defoliation in interrupting the process of tiller maturation which leads to the decline in digestibility. For S. 24, the model explained 95·5% of variation in digestibility decline, R.S.D. = 1·07, allowing accurate prediction of digestibility. For S. 23, 87·5% of variation was explained, R.S.D. = 1·85. The model for S. 24 also worked well on data from a different site, nitrogen level and cutting regime, and the question of the model's generality is discussed. Relative maturity appears to be a useful concept in describing the physiological maturity of swards under different harvesting regimes.

Accurate prediction models for air pollutants are crucial for forecast and health alarm to local inhabitants. In recent literature,discrete wavelet transform(DWT) was employed to decompose a series of air pollutant levels, followed by modeling usingsupport vector machine(SVM). This combination of DWT and SVM was reported to produce a more accurate prediction model for air pollutants by investigating different levels of frequency bands. However, DWT has a significant demand in model complexity, namely, the training time and the model size of the prediction model. In this paper, a new method calledvariation-oriented filtering(VF) is proposed to remove the data with low variation, which can be considered asnoiseto a prediction model. By VF, the noise and the size of the series of air pollutant levels can be reduced simultaneously and hence so are the training time and model size. The SO2(sulfur dioxide) level in Macau was selected as a test case. Experimental results show that VF can effectively and efficiently reduce the model complexity with improvement in predictive accuracy.

456 Background: The pathologic complete response (PCR) rate by neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NCRT) for resectable locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is about 40%. If we could predict a PCR from pre-treatment image data, it might be possible to select patients who can be cured by organ-preserving CRT. The purpose of this study is to construct a predictive model for PCR by NCRT in patients with locally advanced ESCC using radiomics and machine-learning. Methods: We used data of 98 ESCC patients who underwent NCRT and surgery from 2003 to 2016. Firstly, we fused the radiotherapy treatment planning CT images and PET images scanned before treatment. Then using target delineations on planning CT images, we created eight kinds of target regions on PET images. Secondly, we generated a total of 6968 features per patient using the PET image data within these target regions that were preprocessed by radiomics technique. Among them, we extracted the optimal features for machine-learning using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) logistic regression. Thirdly, artificial neural networks were used as a machine-learning method to create a predictive model. The extracted radiomics features were used as input values, and the information of ‘PCR’ or ‘not PCR’ was used as output values. We used data of randomly selected 58 patients for training and constructed a predictive model. Then we used data of 15 patients to validate the models and created the optimal model. Finally, we evaluated the predictive model using the test data of 25 patients. Results: By the LASSO analysis, 32 radiomics features were extracted for machine-learning classification. This predictive model predicted pathological findings after NCRT in 24 of 25 test data. The accuracy, specificity and sensitivity in the prediction of PCR after NCRT by this predictive model were 96.0%, 93.8%, and 100%, respectively. Conclusions: A prediction model based on PET images using radiomics and machine-learning could predict pathological findings after NCRT for resectable locally advanced ESCC.

This research builds on a widely-cited study to prove that the permissible tax loss deduction subsidizes investments in volatile securities by materially lowering the required expected return on more volatile assets. The implications of the theory are robust to the existence of transaction costs, dividends, forced liquidations, and a ceiling on capital loss deductions in some countries. It is further shown that special tax treatment at death significantly increases the value of the tax deduction option. The theoretical model is explained to be consistent with empirical findings reported in the literature and to actually help explain some asset pricing anomalies.
