(author)We present a computer-aided detection (CAD) system for computed tomography colonography that orders the polyps according to clinical relevance. TheCADsystem consists of two steps: candidate detection and supervised classification. The characteristics of the detection step lead to specific choices for the classification system. The candidates are...journal article 2010

Van Erp, H.R.N. (author), Van Gelder, P.H.A.J.M. (author)In this paper we present a Bayesian logistic regression analysis. It is found that if one wishes to derive the posterior distribution of the probability of some event, then, together with the traditional Bayes Theorem and the integrating out of nuissance parameters, the Jacobian transformation is an essential added ingredient. The application of...conference paper 2012

Tesfaye, A. (author), Negatu, W. (author), Brouwer, R. (author), Van der Zaag, P. (author)The aim of this study was to investigate the main factors that influence smallholders' adoption decision of soil conservation measures in the Gedeb watershed. Data from 498 household heads who live in the three districts of the watershed were analysed using the binary logistic regression model. We find that farmers need adequate cash to invest...journal article 2013

Van Goeverden, C.D. (author), Van Arem, B. (author), Godefrooij, T. (author)In the Netherlands, the share of the bicycle as the main mode in all person trips has been highly constant in the past three decades (about 27%). A constant share is remarkable because a number of developments in this period were unfavourable for bicycle use, like ageing of the population, growing number of immigrants, increasing car ownership,...conference paper 2013

Van den Bos, G. (author)Continuous Risk Management (CRM) is a practice in which there is a continuous assessment of the risks that exist or could arise. In addition, in CRM it is determined which risks have priority to be dealt with and strategies are considered that could be implemented to deal with the risks. This thesis demonstrates how CRM of (mortgage) customers...master thesis 2014

Bouwmeester, A. (author)Banks and service companies in general are facing problems with multi-channel management, especially in the context of outbound communication. Problems are the high costs of the multi-channel systems, unsatisfied cus-tomers, and few customers who interact with companies. Personalization of the selection of communication channel to reach a...master thesis 2016

Van Oosterhout, D. (author)In the last decades, measurement while drilling, or MWD, technology has set foot in the drill and blast tunnelling industry. Penetration rate, thrust, torque pressure, percussive pressure, rotation speed, water flow and water pressure are registered on a centimetre scale and processed to parameters more dependent on geology. These parameters...master thesis 2016

Khakzad, N. (author), van Gelder, P.H.A.J.M. (author)In the context of natural-technological (natech) accidents, flood-induced damage of chemical facilities have received relatively less attention mainly due to the scarcity of experimental or high resolution field observations. In the present study, we have introduced a methodology based on load-resistance relationships to assess the vulnerability...journal article 2017

Jansen, S.J.T. (author), Hoekstra, J.S.C.M. (author), Boumeester, H.J.F.M. (author)The extraction of natural gas in the north of The Netherlands has led to soil subsidence and the occurrence of earthquakes. Residents worry about the safety of their families and the saleability of their dwelling and might want to move. The goal is to examine whether the earthquakes are related to the intention to move. A survey among...journal article 2017

(author), Fearnhead, Paul (author), Lienart, Thibaut (author), Roberts, Gareth (author), Vollmer, Sebastian J. (author)Piecewise Deterministic Monte Carlo algorithms enable simulation from a posterior distribution, whilst only needing to access a sub-sample of data at each iteration. We show how they can be implemented in settings where the parameters live on a restricted domain.journal article 2018

Yang, Y. (author), Loog, M. (author)Logistic regression is by far the most widely used classifier in real-world applications. In this paper, we benchmark the state-of-the-art active learning methods for logistic regression and discuss and illustrate their underlying characteristics. Experiments are carried out on three synthetic datasets and 44 real-world datasets, providing...journal article 2018

Witteveen, Annemieke (author), Nane, G.F. (author), Vliegen, Ingrid M.H. (author), Siesling, Sabine (author), IJzerman, Maarten J. (author)Purpose. For individualized follow-up, accurate prediction of locoregional recurrence (LRR) and second primary (SP) breast cancer risk is required. Current prediction models employ regression, but with large data sets, machine-learning techniques such as Bayesian Networks (BNs) may be better alternatives. In this study, logistic regression...journal article 2018

Wijs, Ronald (author)Cables and pipes are critical infrastructure systems (CISs) which are mostly located in the very crowded subsurface. Especially in urban areas, a typical road includes five to ten infrastructure systems which are all owned and managed by different entities. The CISs are spatially interdependent as these are highly interconnected due to the close...master thesis 2018
