This issue of the International
Journal of Biomedical Data Mining presents two contributed articles. The first article, entitled Data Inventory for Cancer Patients Receiving Radiotherapy for Outcome Analysis and Modeling, authored by Jason Vickress, Rob Barnett and Slav
Yartsev, describes a database created for storing and analyzing patient
specific data related to pre-treatment condition, treatment planning, and
treatment outcomes, for patients receiving radiotherapy based cancer treatment.
The proposed database can perform automated analysis regarding quality
assurance, dose accumulation for multiple treatments on different machines and
can assist physicians in choosing the optimal radiation therapy for new
patients. The second article, entitled Likelihood Ratio Test of Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium Using Uncertain Genotypes for Sibship Data, authored by Qiong Li,
Helene Massam and Xin Gao, is concerned with the problem of testing for
Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium of genotype frequencies in the area of population
genetics.
