Patent number: 10927414Abstract: Provided are methods and kits for determining predisposition of a subject to develop a kidney disease, by identifying in a sample of the subject at least one APOL1 polypeptide variant which is characterized by a higher trypanolytic activity on Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense as compared to the trypanolytic activity of wild type APOL1 polypeptide as set forth in SEQ ID NO:1 on the Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense under identical assay conditions; or at least one APOL1 nucleotide mutation in the APLO1 genomic sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:3, wherein the at least one nucleotide mutation or polypeptide variant being in linkage disequilibrium (LD) with the S342G mutation in the APOL1 polypeptide set forth in SEQ ID NO:1, wherein presence of the APOL1 polypeptide variant indicates increased predisposition of the subject to develop the kidney disease.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2019Date of Patent: February 23, 2021Assignees: Technion Research & Development Foundation Limited, Ramot at Tel-Aviv University Ltd., Rambam Med-Tech Ltd.Inventors: Karl Skorecki, Shay Tzur, Saharon Rosset, Walter Gabriel Wasser, Doron M.

Patent number: 8255346Abstract: A “variable group selection” system and method in which constructs are based upon a training data set, a regression modeling module that takes into account information on groups of related predictor variables given as input and outputs a regression model with selected variable groups. Optionally, the method can be employed as a component in methods of temporal causal modeling, which are applied on a time series training data set, and output a model of causal relationships between the multiple times series in the data.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2009Date of Patent: August 28, 2012Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Naoki Abe, Yan Liu, Aurelie C. Lozano, Saharon Rosset, Grzegorz Swirszcz

Patent number: 8140476Abstract: A method and computer system for monitoring and controlling the quality of tests performed upon a database. A statistical quality layer is provided, which for each new test to be executed on the database, provides recommendations as to a confidence level to be applied to the test and to a number of additional data records to be added to the database in order to maintain the total expected number of type-I errors of tests performed upon the database. The method and computer system further provide access control of users to the database.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2009Date of Patent: March 20, 2012Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Ehud Aharoni, Hani Neuvirth, Saharon Rosset

Patent number: 7725340Abstract: A method and system perform ranking-based evaluations for regression models that are often appropriate for marketing tasks and are more robust to outliers than traditional residual-based performance measures. The output provided by the method and system provides visualization that can offer insights about local model performance and outliers. Several models can be compared to each other to identify the “best” model and, therefore, the “best” model data for the particular marketing task.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2008Date of Patent: May 25, 2010Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Claudia Reisz, Saharon Rosset, Bianca Zadrozny
