Workforce movement data such as those source data from an access control system can support this ongoing process with subsequent analysis. In this study, a solution to attaining this goal is proposed, based on the design and implementation of a data mart as part of a dimensional trajectory data warehouse (TDW) that acts as a repository for the management of movement data. A novel methodological approach is proposed for modeling multiple spatial and temporal dimensions in a logical model. The case study presented in this paper for modeling and analyzing workforce movement data is to support human resource management decision-making and the following discussion provides a representative example of the contribution of a TDW in the process of information management and decision support systems. The entire process of exporting, cleaning, consolidating, and transforming data is implemented to achieve an appropriate format for final import. Structured query language (SQL) queries demonstrate the convenience of dimensional design for data analysis, and valuable information can be extracted from the movements of employees on company premises to manage the workforce efficiently and effectively. Visual analytics through data visualization support the analysis and facilitate decision-making and business intelligence.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100353,"journal":{"name":"Data Science and Management","volume":"6 2","pages":"Pages 88-97"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49749904","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These disruptions cause massive economic losses, affect airlines’ reputations, waste passengers’ time and money, and directly impact the environment. This study adopts a network science approach for solving the delay propagation problem by modeling and analyzing the flight schedules and historical operational data of an airline. We aim to determine the most disruptive airports, flights, flight-connections, and connection types in an airline network. Disruptive elements are influential or critical entities in an airline network. They are the elements that can either cause (airline schedules) or have caused (historical data) the largest disturbances in the network. An airline can improve its operations by avoiding delays caused by the most disruptive elements. The proposed network science approach for disruptive element analysis was validated using a case study of an operating airline. The analysis indicates that potential disruptive elements in a schedule of an airline are also actual disruptive elements in the historical data and they should be considered to improve operations. The airline network exhibits small-world effects and delays can propagate to any part of the network with a minimum of four delayed flights. Finally, we observed that passenger connections between flights are the most disruptive connection type. Therefore, the proposed methodology provides a tool for airlines to build robust flight schedules that reduce delays and propagation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100353,"journal":{"name":"Data Science and Management","volume":"6 2","pages":"Pages 110-121"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49749482","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Clinical methods have been utilized to diagnose PCa; however, at the full-blown stage, clinical methods usually present high risks of complicated side effects. Therefore, we proposed the use of support vector machine for early differential diagnosis of PCa (SVM-PCa-EDD). SVM was used to classify persons with and without PCa. We used the PCa dataset from the Kaggle Healthcare repository to develop and validate SVM model for classification. The PCa dataset consisted of 250 features and one class of features. Attributes considered in this study were age, body mass index (BMI), race, family history, obesity, trouble urinating, urine stream force, blood in semen, bone pain, and erectile dysfunction. The SVM-PCa-EDD was used for preprocessing the PCa dataset, specifically dealing with class imbalance, and for dimensionality reduction. After eliminating class imbalance, the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) of the logistic regression (LR) model trained with the downsampled dataset was 58.4%, whereas that of the AUC-ROC of LR trained with the class imbalance dataset was 54.3%. The SVM-PCa-EDD achieved 90% accuracy, 80% sensitivity, and 80% specificity. The validation of SVM-PCa-EDD using random forest and LR showed that SVM-PCa-EDD performed better in early differential diagnosis of PCa. The proposed model can assist medical experts in early diagnosis of PCa, particularly in resource-constrained healthcare settings and making further recommendations for PCa testing and treatment.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100353,"journal":{"name":"Data Science and Management","volume":"6 1","pages":"Pages 1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49765234","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
