ABSTRACT
Support vector machine (SVM) with good leaning ability and generalization is widely used in the star spectra data classification. But when the scale of data becomes larger, the shortages of SVM appear: the calculation amount is quite large and the classification speed is too slow. In order to solve the above problems, twin support vector machine (TWSVM) was proposed by Jayadeva. The advantage of TSVM is that the time cost is reduced to 1/4 of that of SVM. While all the methods mentioned above only focus on the global characteristics and neglect the local characteristics. In view of this, an automatic classification method of star spectra data based on manifold fuzzy twin support vector machine (MF-TSVM) is proposed in this paper. In MF-TSVM, manifold-based discriminant analysis (MDA) is used to obtain the global and local characteristics of the input data and the fuzzy membership is introduced to reduce the influences of noise and singular data on the classification results. Comparative experiments with current classification methods, such as C-SVM and KNN, on the SDSS star spectra datasets verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
ABSTRACT
The applicator therapy is a unique method to treat infant diarrhea in traditional Chinese medicines and widely applied in clinical practice. Currently, many researchers have proved the rationality of the therapy based on the traditional Chinese medicine mechanism and on the data from clinical practice, but its action mechanism is uncertain at present. In this study, with the assistance of pediatric practitioners, the automated ribosomal intergenic-spacer analysis (ARISA) was adopted to study the effect of the adjuvant therapy with Dingguier umbilical paste on intestinal flora of diarrhea infants, in which Dingguier umbilical paste served as the adjuvant therapy in oral traditional Chinese medicines and fecal samples of infants with different diarrhea symptoms were collected and used as the study materials. The results showed that the adjuvant therapy had a significant effect on the shift of intestinal flora, which was associated with the decrease in the similarity difference to the normal control group and the increase in the number of operational taxonomic units (OTUs) shared with the normal control group. Additionally, adjuvant therapy with Dingguier umbilical paste also showed long action duration and increased OTUs number. These results indicated that Dingguier umbilical paste has the effect in restoring the micro-ecosystem of unbalanced intestinal bacteria. Intestinal flora may be one of major targets for the applicator therapy for the infant diarrhea, but not for the single oral traditional Chinese medicine for infant diarrhea.
