Activating cognitive activities among students through the application of WebPA in teaching knowledge on mathematical operations in upper secondary schools of Vietnam (2012)
Journal Article
Nguyen, T., & Gordon, N. (2012). Activating cognitive activities among students through the application of WebPA in teaching knowledge on mathematical operations in upper secondary schools of Vietnam

In Vietnam, the inspection and evaluation in education is usually performed by traditional assessments, including regular testing and periodic examination. The biggest advantage of these assessments are that they are easy to deploy and fairly accurat...

A comparative study of missing value imputation with multiclass classification for clinical heart failure data (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Zhang, Y., Kambhampati, C., Davis, D. N., Goode, K., & Cleland, J. G. F. A comparative study of missing value imputation with multiclass classification for clinical heart failure data. Presented at 2012 9th International Conference on Fuzzy Systems and Knowledge Discovery

Clinical data often contains missing values. Imputation is one of the best known schemes to overcome the drawbacks associated with missing values in data mining tasks. In this work, we compared several imputation methods and analyzed their performanc...
