    ‘Women and gender studies’ has become a part of social science since 19th century, when the right of liberty and equality was strongly emphasised to subdue the long-term disparity on masculine and feminine identity. The notion of discrimination on the issue of gender is actually a psychological factor which human being learns from various socio-cultural forces. It has two reasons; one is to regard the males as physically and mentally strong rather than females, and another is to refute them to be a part of human resource through the traditional treatment of only with a capability of bearing child. Now such consideration simply inherited by each and every civilization of the world except few instances of tribal kingdoms where matriarchal culture prevailed. During our period of study, we have numerous cases to trace the contradiction between manliness and the enforcement over the feminine gender. Of course, we have genius lady figures of that age such as -Raziya Sultana, Nurjahan , Mumtaz Mahal, Jahanara and Zebunnisa. But on the basis of historical method of generalization we have an aspect where insufficient data provides incessant conclusion for a particular fact. That’s why, following few such examples we should not determine the overall status of women as quietly good. In this paper, therefore, I shall try to define the patriarchal dominance over the women and nature of gender dissension in both psychological and social sphere of contemporary society.

    Intelligent Word Embeddings of Free-Text Radiology Reports

    Radiology reports are a rich resource for advancing deep learning applications in medicine by leveraging the large volume of data continuously being updated, integrated, and shared. However, there are significant challenges as well, largely due to the ambiguity and subtlety of natural language. We propose a hybrid strategy that combines semantic-dictionary mapping and word2vec modeling for creating dense vector embeddings of free-text radiology reports. Our method leverages the benefits of both semantic-dictionary mapping as well as unsupervised learning. Using the vector representation, we automatically classify the radiology reports into three classes denoting confidence in the diagnosis of intracranial hemorrhage by the interpreting radiologist. We performed experiments with varying hyperparameter settings of the word embeddings and a range of different classifiers. Best performance achieved was a weighted precision of 88% and weighted recall of 90%. Our work offers the potential to leverage unstructured electronic health record data by allowing direct analysis of narrative clinical notes.Comment: AMIA Annual Symposium 201

    A monte carlo simulation study on high leverage collinearity-enhancing observation and its effect on multicollinearity pattern.

    Outliers in the X-direction or high leverage points are the latest known source of multicollinearity. Multicollinearity is a nonorthogonality of two or more explanatory variables in multiple regression models, which may have important influential impacts on interpreting a fitted regression model. In this paper, we performed Monte Carlo simulation studies to achieve two main objectives. The first objective was to study the effect of certain magnitude and percentage of high leverage points, which are two important issues in tending the high leverage points to be collinearity-enhancing observations, on the multicollinarity pattern of the data. The second objective was to investigate in which situations these points do make different degrees of multicollinearity, such as moderate or severe. According to the simulation results, high leverage points should be in large magnitude for at least two explanatory variables to guarantee that they are the cause of multicollinearity problems. We also proposed some practical Lower Bound (LB) and Upper Bound (UB) for High Leverage Collinearity Influential Measure (HLCIM) which is an essential measure in detecting the degree of multicollinearity. A well-known example is used to confirm the simulation results

    Two steps robust Mahanalobis method for identification of multiple high leverage points

    Problem statement: High leverage points are extreme outliers in the X-direction. In regression analysis, the detection of these leverage points becomes important due to their arbitrary large effects on the estimations as well as multicollinearity problems. Mahalanobis Distance (MD) has been used as a diagnostic tool for identification of outliers in multivariate analysis where it finds the distance between normal and abnormal groups of the data. Since the computation of MD relies on nonrobust classical estimations, the classical MD can hardly detect outliers accurately. As an alternative,Robust MD (RMD) methods such as Minimum Covariance Determinant (MCD) and Minimum Volume Ellipsoid (MVE) estimators had been used to identify the existence of high leverage points in the data set. However, these methods tended to swamp some low leverage points even though they can identify high leverage points correctly. Since, the detection of leverage points is one of the most important issues in regression analysis, it is imperative to introduce a novel detection method of high leverage points. Approach: In this study, we proposed a relatively new two-step method for detection of high leverage points by utilizing the RMD (MVE) and RMD (MCD) in the first step to identify the suspected outlier points. Then, in the second step the MD was used based on the mean and covariance of the clean data set. We called this method two-step Robust Diagnostic Mahalanobis Distance (RDMDTS) which could identify high leverage points correctly and also swamps less low leverage points. Results: The merit of the newly proposed method was investigated extensively by real data sets and Monte Carlo Simulations study. The results of this study indicated that, for small sample sizes, the best detection method is (RDMDTS) (MVE)-mad while there was not much difference between (RDMDTS) (MVE)-mad and (RDMDTS) (MCD)-mad for large sample sizes. Conclusion/Recommendations: In order to swamp less low leverage as high leverage point, the proposed robust diagnostic methods, (RDMDTS) (MVE)-mad and (RDMDTS) (MCD)-mad were recommended
