We developed a diabetes risk score using a novel analytical approach and tested its diagnostic performance to detect individuals at high risk of diabetes, by applying it to the Qatari population. A representative random sample of 5,000 Qataris selected at different time points was simulated using a diabetes mathematical model. Logistic regression w...

Limiting spread of low pathogenicity avian influenza (LPAI) during an outbreak is critical to reduce the negative impact on poultry producers and local economies. Mathematical models of disease transmission can support outbreak control efforts by estimating relevant epidemiological parameters. In this article, diagnostic testing data from each hous...

Food pairing has not yet been fully pioneered, despite our everyday experience with food and the large amount of food data available on the web. The complementary food pairings discovered thus far created by the intuition of talented chefs, not by scientific knowledge or statistical learning. We introduce FlavorGraph which is a large-scale food gra...

BackgroundInclusion of the statistical approach in the planning stage of adequate experimental design is crucial for correctly achieving the required conclusions. Modern applied statistics has been used extensively in nematological research worldwide. Although hypothesis testing is still essential to relevant research topics, more emphasis is direc...

A complete dataset of sunspot drawings recorded at Sacramento Peak Observatory (SPO) from late 1947 till mid-2004 has been digitized. We present the history of the observations and describe the data included in the drawings. We compare the sunspot number index calculated from the SPO data and the International Sunspot Number (SNv2), and we find tha...

Abstract: In this paper the Corpus of Novels of the Spanish Silver Age is presented, a collection of 358 novels published by Spanish authors between 1880 and 1939. The selection of the texts follows criteria from the studies of literature. The texts have been encoded in XML-TEI. In this format are also saved the manually curated metadata and the li...

BackgroundWomen can be exposed to a multitude of hardships before and during pregnancy that may affect fetal growth, but previous approaches have not analyzed them jointly as social exposure mixtures.MethodsWe evaluated the independent, mutually adjusted, and pairwise joint associations between self-reported hardships and birthweight for gestationa...

The purpose of this paper is to construct confidence intervals for the regression coefficients in high-dimensional Cox proportional hazards regression models where the number of covariates may be larger than the sample size. Our debiased estimator construction is similar to those in Zhang and Zhang (2014) and van de Geer et al. (2014), but the time...

Global aviation operations contribute to anthropogenic climate change via a complex set of processes that lead to a net surface warming. Of importance are aviation emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), water vapor, soot and sulfate aerosols, and increased cloudiness due to contrail formation. Aviation grew strongly over the past...
