The classification task is restricted to the detection of a blood alcohol level above 0.5 per mille. Three feature sets are based on spectral observations: MFCCs, PLPs, TRAPS. These are modeled by GMMs. Classification is either done by a Gaussian classifier or by SVMs. In the later case classification is based on GMM-based supervectors, i.e. concatenation of GMM mean vectors. A prosodic system extracts a 292-dimensional feature vector based on a voiced-unvoiced decision. A transcription-based system makes use of text transcriptions related to phoneme durations and textual structure. We compare the stand-alone performances of these systems and combine them on score level by logistic regression. The best stand-alone performance is the transcriptionbased system which outperforms the baseline by 4.8\% on the development set. A Combination on score level gave a huge boost when the spectral-based systems were added (73.6\%). This is a relative improvement of 12.7\% to the baseline.

Methods: Two hundred and fifty six people with FM completed the Brief ICF-Core-Set. The Rasch model was used for analysis. Once ordering of response options of ICF categories was ensured, the following properties were studied: fit of the ICF categories to the Rasch model, the targeting between ICF categories and a person's abilities, unidimensionality, and reliability. Results: Six ICF categories were rescored due to disordered thresholds. Five ICF categories were removed due to high model-misfit and differential item functioning (DIF) for gender. Scores from 46 participants were excluded due to extreme scores. The ICF categories included display consistency with an underlying unidimensional construct, are free of DIF for age, disease duration and gender, display excellent overall reliability, and cover a range of functioning difficulties.

Several studies have examined the independent effects of single diseases; however, little research has focused on interaction between diseases. The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of six self-reported major conditions and their combinations on HRQL measured by the EQ-5D. Methods The EQ-5D was administered in the population-based KORA-Age study of 4,565 Germans aged 65 years or older. A generalised additive regression model was used to assess the effects of chronic conditions on HRQL and to account for the nonlinear associations with age and body mass index (BMI). Disease interactions were identified by a forward variable selection method. Results The conditions with the greatest negative impact on the EQ-5D index were the history of a stroke (regression coefficient -11.3, p < 0.0001) and chronic bronchitis (regression coefficient -8.1, p < 0.0001). Patients with both diabetes and coronary disorders showed more impaired HRQL than could be expected from their separate effects (coefficient of interaction term -8.1, p < 0.0001). A synergistic effect on HRQL was also found for the combination of coronary disorders and stroke. The effect of BMI on the mean EQ-5D index was inverse U-shaped with a maximum at around 24.8 kg/m2. Conclusions There are important interactions between coronary problems, diabetes mellitus, and the history of a stroke that negatively affect HRQL in the older German population. Not only high but also low BMI is associated with impairments in health status.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{AntretterMayerWellisch2011, author = {Antretter, F. and Mayer, C. and Wellisch, Ulrich}, title = {An approach for a statistical model for the user behaviour regarding window ventilation in residential buildings}, series = {Proceedings of Building Simulation 2011: 12th Conference of International Building Performance Simulation Association, Sydney}, booktitle = {Proceedings of Building Simulation 2011: 12th Conference of International Building Performance Simulation Association, Sydney}, year = {2011}, language = {en} }
