The relationship between leisure time physical activity patterns, Alzheimer’s disease markers and cognition by James, S, Sudre, CH, Barnes, J, Cash, DM, Chiou, Y, Coath, W, Keshavan, A, Lu, K, Malone, I, Murray-Smith, H, Nicholas, JM, Orini, M, Parker, T, Almeida-Meza, P, Fox, NC, Richards, M, Schott, JM

“…There was little evidence that leisure time physical activity had direct effects on other brain health measures (all P > 0.05). However, leisure time physical activity patterns modified and attenuated the association between poorer cognitive functioning at age 70 and a range of Alzheimer’s disease-related neurodegenerative markers (Aβ status; hippocampal and whole-brain volume; cortical thickness in Alzheimer’s disease regions) (all P < 0.05). …”

Financial forecasting using meta-cognitive fuzzy neural networks by Singh Akhand Pratap

“…Some potential ways to address the above issues could be usage of synthetic data through time-series models to train the model till the test date; usage of manual inferences drawn from the indicators to make judgements about the present day; usage of multiple machine learning models and combining the results from all; usage of dynamic feature selection mechanism to make improvements to the prediction; and usage of dynamic thresholds that are dependent on the market conditions. …”
