This dataset includes the MIPS Data Validation Criteria. The Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA) streamlines a patchwork collection of programs with a single system where provider can be rewarded for better care. Providers will be able to practice as they always have, but they may receive higher Medicare payments based on their performance.

The construction of a robust healthcare information system is fundamental to enhancing countries’ capabilities in the surveillance and control of hepatitis B virus (HBV). Making use of China’s rapidly expanding primary healthcare system, this innovative approach using big data and machine learning (ML) could help towards the World Health Organization’s (WHO) HBV infection elimination goals of reaching 90% diagnosis and treatment rates by 2030. We aimed to develop and validate HBV detection models using routine clinical data to improve the detection of HBV and support the development of effective interventions to mitigate the impact of this disease in China. Relevant data records extracted from the Family Medicine Clinic of the University of Hong Kong-Shenzhen Hospital’s Hospital Information System were structuralized using state-of-the-art Natural Language Processing techniques. Several ML models have been used to develop HBV risk assessment models. The performance of the ML model was then interpreted using the Shapley value (SHAP) and validated using cohort data randomly divided at a ratio of 2:1 using a five-fold cross-validation framework. The patterns of physical complaints of patients with and without HBV infection were identified by processing 158,988 clinic attendance records. After removing cases without any clinical parameters from the derivation sample (n = 105,992), 27,392 cases were analysed using six modelling methods. A simplified model for HBV using patients’ physical complaints and parameters was developed with good discrimination (AUC = 0.78) and calibration (goodness of fit test p-value >0.05). Suspected case detection models of HBV, showing potential for clinical deployment, have been developed to improve HBV surveillance in primary care setting in China. (Word count: 264) This study has developed a suspected case detection model for HBV, which can facilitate early identification and treatment of HBV in the primary care setting in China, contributing towards the achievement of WHO’s elimination goals of HBV infections.We utilized the state-of-art natural language processing techniques to structure the data records, leading to the development of a robust healthcare information system which enhances the surveillance and control of HBV in China.

The outer fibres are oriented longitudinally, and the inner fibres are oriented circumferentially, similar to the ones found in the rat uterus.The SupplementaryMaterials_rat_uterus_texture_validation.pdf file is a short supplemental paper describing the generation of the test data and the results after being processed with the structure tensor code.

This feature dataset contains the control points used to validate the accuracies of the interpolated water density rasters for the Gulf of Maine. These control points were selected randomly from the water density data points, using Hawth's Create Random Selection Tool. Twenty-five percent of each seasonal bin (for each year and at each depth) were randomly selected and set aside for validation. For example, if there were 1,000 water density data points for the fall (September, October, November) 2003 at 0 meters, then 250 of those points were randomly selected, removed and set aside to assess the accuracy of interpolated surface. The naming convention of the validation point feature class includes the year (or years), the season, and the depth (in meters) it was selected from. So for example, the name: ValidationPoints_1997_2004_Fall_0m would indicate that this point feature class was randomly selected from water density points that were at 0 meters in the fall between 1997-2004. The seasons were defined using the same months as the remote sensing data--namely, Fall = September, October, November; Winter = December, January, February; Spring = March, April, May; and Summer = June, July, August.

This data set was collected to validate a 'smart' knee brace with an IMU embedded on the thigh and shank area against a reference motion capture system (Vicon). There were 10 participants total and each participant came into the lab for 2 sessions, each on separate days. For each session, participants completed three trials of 2-minute treadmill walking at their preferred walking speed, three trials of 15 squats to parallel, three trials of 10 sit-to-stand on a chair that was about knee level, three trials of 15 total alternating lunges, and three trials of 2-minute treadmill jogging at their preferred speed, all in that order. 10 squats and 10 lunges were done for some participants' first sessions, but then did 15 squats and lunges in the second session (a .txt file will be included for each participants' session to specify). This dataset only contains the IMU data.

[Context/Motivation] Integrating user feedback into software development enhances system acceptance, decreases the likelihood of project failure and strengthens customer loyalty. Moreover, user feedback plays an important role in software evolution, because it can be the basis for deriving requirements. [Problems] However, to be able to derive requirements from feedback, the feedback must contain actionable change requests, that is contain detailed information regarding a change to the application. Furthermore, requirements engineers must know how many users support the change request. [Principal ideas] To address these challenges, we propose an approach that uses structured questions to transform non-actionable change requests into actionable and validate the change requests to assess their support among the users. We evaluate the approach in the large-scale research project SMART-AGE with over 200 older adults, aged 67 and older. [Contribution] We contribute a set of templates for our questions and our process, and we evaluate the approach’s feasibility, effectiveness and user satisfaction, resulting in very positive outcomes.

These are sets of data collected from the manual cross-validation of DOIs (and related research outputs) that are sampled from Web of Science (WoS), Scopus and Microsoft Academic (MSA). For each of the 15 universities, we initially collect all DOIs indexed by each of the three bibliographic sources. Subsequently, we randomly sample 40, 30 and 30 DOIs from sets of DOIs that are exclusively indexed by WoS, Scopus and MSA, respectively, for each university. A manual cross-validation process is then followed to validate certain characteristics across the data sources. This cross-validation process was carried out by a data wrangler, on a part-time basis over a few months, for which online data was accessed from 18 December 2018 to 20 May 2019.

U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) scientists conducted field data collection efforts between October 25th and 31st, 2020 at several sites in eastern Iowa using high accuracy surveying technologies. The work was initiated as an effort to validate commercially acquired topographic light detection and ranging (lidar) data that was collected between December 7th, 2019 and November 19th, 2020 using wide area mapping lidar systems for the USGS 3D Elevation Program (3DEP). The goal was to compare and validate the airborne lidar data to topographic, structural, and infrastructural data collected through more traditional means (e.g., Global Navigational Satellite System (GNSS) surveying). Evaluating these data will provide valuable information on the performance of wide area topographic lidar mapping capabilities that are becoming more widely used in 3DEP. The airborne lidar was collected to support the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Hig ...

Can a short survey instrument reliably measure a range of fundamental economic preferences across diverse settings? We focus on survey questions that systematically predict behavior in incentivized experimental tasks among German university students (Becker et al. 2016) and were implemented among representative samples across the globe (Falk et al. 2018). This paper presents results of an experimental validation conducted among low-income individuals in Nairobi, Kenya. We find that quantitative survey measures – hypothetical versions of experimental tasks – of time preference, attitude to risk and altruism are good predictors of choices in incentivized experiments, suggesting these measures are broadly experimentally valid. At the same time, we find that qualitative questions – self-assessments – do not correlate with the experimental measures of preferences in the Kenyan sample. Thus, caution is needed before treating self-assessments as proxies of preferences in new contexts.

To verify and validate the HR-VPTM technique, both synthetic images and gels with embedded particles undergoingcontrolled deformations were used to compared known and reconstructed deformations at assorted strain-ratesor frame-rates. We simulated the light-field representation of particles undergoing motion with ray tracing andinvestigated the sensitivity of the measurement technique to synthetic noise floor and various motion fields. Inexperiments, a custom-built device deformed a hydrogel specimen in nominally simple shear at applied strain ratesapproximately 2 1/s, while light-field images were collected at approximately 500 frames per second frames per second. Files and formats include .tif images (raw data, input), .mat (reconstructed images, tracking results),.txt, .csv, and .yaml (all metadata).See also the data on MINDS@UW (https://minds.wisconsin.edu/handle/1793/83031), the accompanying paper in Experimental Mechanics (https://doi.org/10.1007/s11340-022-00885-z), and the complete code package released by collaborators at UW-Madison (https://github.com/francklab/HR-VPTM).
