Abstract-Metabolic Syndrome (MetS), a cluster of more than three cardio-metabolic risk factors, is becoming a major worldwide health problem. CHAID analysis can bring to front the role of pathogenesis -represented by insulin resistance and measured by Reaven index, and the importance of twocumulated criteria -as the association of hypertension and obesity, in revealing the likelihood of developing MetS in patients that do not yet account for all condition criteria. The aim of our research was to stress the order of influence of a specific two-cumulated criterion comparative to other MetS criteria comprised into a pathogenic index -the Reaven index (comprising TG and HDL that are two independent MetS diagnosis criterion). CHAID Decision Tree Algorithm can become an intelligent system to support wise decision-making and to predict the likelihood of developing MetS in patients at lowrisk for this condition.
In this paper we dene a new notion of containment for two queries, called strong containment. The strong containment implies the classical containment. A necessary and sucient condition for the strong containment relation between two queries is given. The time complexity of the decision problem for two queries to be in strong containment relation is a linear function of the containment mappings number corresponding to the queries.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
