Modelling the effects of social distancing, antiviral therapy, and booster shots on mitigating Omicron spread
Data From February 26, 2021 to December 31, 2022, we compiled the data on confirmed cases, severe cases, primary vaccinations, and booster vaccinations8. In the parameter estimation period (February 26, 2021 to February 3, 2022), we utilized the data on confirmed cases, primary and booster vaccinations. For the prediction period (February 3, 2022 to December…

Analysis of fractional order model on higher institution students’ anxiety towards mathematics with optimal control theory
In this section, we re-formulate the higher institutions students anxiety towards mathematics model (Eq. 9) using a Caputo fractional order derivative approach in order to observe the memory effects and gain more insights about the dynamics of higher institutions students anxiety towards mathematics. System (9) in terms of integral form is followed by substituting the…

Generalizability of 3D CNN models for age estimation in diverse youth populations using structural MRI
Data description The studied data were retrieved from two public sets: Autism Brain Imaging Data Exchange II (ABIDE-II) and ADHD-200, and from two large neurodevelopmental studies: the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) and Brazilian High-Risk Cohort Study (BHRCS)21,22,23,24. We used only T1-weighted sMRI data from all investigated datasets. For the ABCD and BHRCS datasets, only…

Attention-based message passing and dynamic graph convolution for spatiotemporal data imputation
The architecture of the ADGCN model proposed in this paper is shown in Fig. 1 and consists of two main parts: (1) A unified spatiotemporal messaging layer constructed using attention mechanisms; (2) Dynamic graph convolution method using dynamic adjacency matrix in conjunction with static adjacency matrix, and gating to pass information. The detailed steps for each…

Researchers propose new standards to fix what’s wrong in statistics
Credit: CC0 Public Domain A new paper in the Journal of Survey Statistics and Methodology indicates that the methods researchers use to report on analyses of survey data vary widely, and frequently contain mistakes. Publications containing these incorrect analyses yield results that can misinform policymakers, researchers, and practitioners. The researchers here propose new standards to…

Assessing nocturnal scratch with actigraphy in atopic dermatitis patients
Study design and data collection There were 23 AD patients enrolled with up to five nights of data collected from each participant, and three subjects were excluded due to device malfunction and software issues. We have 96 nights of data from 20 subjects to train the model. During each study night, participants slept at the…

Simultaneous multi-crop land suitability prediction from remote sensing data using semi-supervised learning
Model evaluation The dataset is comprised of 2110 observations spanning 9 crops; more details on the dataset are presented in Table 3. The multi-crop model demonstrated an acceptable fit for all crops, except for corn and flaxseed (see Table 4). For corn, the number of unique districts in which it is grown is by far…

Automatic evaluation-feedback system for automated social skills training
Dataset We used a human–human SST dataset collected in our previous research12. It includes data from 49 participants with the following characteristics: 15 ASDs, 15 schizophreniacs (SZ), and 19 controls. We collected these psychiatric or developmental difficulty groups to develop our automated SST system and to investigate their interaction differences. We included these groups since…
