It had done damages in the retina that detect light on behind the eye as a result of changes in the arteries that is one of the reasons that makes blindness (loss of vision) in people. In this study, horizontal and vertical Video-Oculography (VOG) signals captured by using internal tracking camera in Metrovision MonPackOne Electrooculography device. In order to filter the noise from the signals, the wavelet transform method was used. Obtained signals have shown that the signals of diabetic retinopathy patients have higher amplitude and irregular characteristic than the signals obtained from healthy groups. In both groups, significant Daubechies-6 wavelet coefficients (A6-D6) gave better results than Daubechies-4 wavelet coefficients (A4-D4). Obtained data as a result of using wavelet transform sheds light on feature extraction and classification in proposed future works.","PeriodicalId":431660,"journal":{"name":"2016 Medical Technologies National Congress (TIPTEKNO)","volume":"s3-26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130110544","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}

This paper focuses on a comparison of most reliable and up to date estimation methods to control and correct the missing values. Imputation of MVs has a very high priority because of its impact on next pre-processing and post-processing stages of microarray data analysis namely, quality control, normalization, differential gene expression, classification, clustering, and pathway analysis, etc. Normalized root mean square error (NRMSE) value is used to evaluate the performances of most popular five methods (k-nearest neighbors, Bayesian principal component analysis, local least squares, mean and median). When NRMSE values of methods were compared, it has observed that local least squares (LLS) and Bayesian principal component analysis (BPCA) methods outperformed all other methods in all percentages of MVs (1%, 5%, 10%, and 20%). BPCA method has given the best results in all percentages of MVs over the number of probes or genes, whereas LLS method has given the best results in all percentages of MVs over the number of samples. The advantage of these two methods over others is that they are least affected by the complexity of the data set.","PeriodicalId":431660,"journal":{"name":"2016 Medical Technologies National Congress (TIPTEKNO)","volume":"6 12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126206454","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}

The passive usage problem is generalized on different domains for the first time with this study. The results of the study expected to gather up the similar passive usage problems experienced in different domains.

Models developed considering the nonlinear and distributed working principles of neural structures help to reconstruct the processes but are far away from giving an explicit understanding of the phenomena due to their complexity. However, it is not possible to understand these processes thoroughly with very simple models. To build a relation between these different levels of models and to build a mechanism for understanding these processes, in this work linear model approach is considered. Basal ganglia circuits which are effective in motor action initiation, decision making and action selection is considered and in order to guide through more complex computational models and to understand the working principle, a linear system approach is considered. Though the model proposed is very simple, it gives enough insight to understand the role of basal ganglia circuits and the model is able to show the role of dopamine on modulating the inputs from cortex.","PeriodicalId":431660,"journal":{"name":"2016 Medical Technologies National Congress (TIPTEKNO)","volume":"124 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133328098","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}
