Why don't they link to the paper? This article is really crappy and doesn't explain what they did at all. For example, why diddn't they mention probabilist networks, which dominates this field. And I doubt that 240 data points is enough to write a paper.

I see nothing in http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=frenkel+Arutyunyan+kidne... and given the context, it was likely buried in an obscure Russian journal & so of no value to English readers anyway.

Seems like a good explanation to me.

Because those weren't used much back then.

Sure it is. Why wouldn't n=240 work?


Given the amount of data available, it is not unreasonable to expect n>1000


They obviously did not think that reasonable, their results seem to be fine, and I still don't see what the problem is with n=240.
