BackgroundPlants, like all living organisms, metamorphose their bodies during their lifetime. All the developmental and growth events in a plant’s life are connected to specific points in time, be it seed germination, seedling emergence, the appearance of the first leaf, heading, flowering, fruit ripening, wilting, or death. The onset of automated ...

Satellite-based communications, navigation systems and many scientific instruments rely on observations of trans-ionospheric signals. The quality of these signals can be deteriorated by ionospheric scintillation which can have detrimental effects on the mentioned applications. Therefore, monitoring of ionospheric scintillation and quantifying its e...

BackgroundRegression analyses of time series of disease counts on environmental determinants are a prominent component of environmental epidemiology. For planning such studies, it can be useful to predict the precision of estimated coefficients and power to detect associations of given magnitude. Existing generic approaches for this have been found...
Many scientific and engineering challenges -- ranging from pharmacokinetic drug dosage allocation and personalized medicine to marketing mix (4Ps) recommendations -- require an understanding of the unobserved heterogeneity in order to develop the best decision making-processes. In this paper, we develop a hypothesis test and the corresponding p-val...
We propose an evolutionary state space model (E-SSM) for analyzing high dimensional brain signals whose statistical properties evolve over the course of a non-spatial memory experiment. Under E-SSM, brain signals are modeled as mixtures of components (e.g., AR(2) process) with oscillatory activity at pre-defined frequency bands. To account for the ...
L'Intelligence Artificielle (IA) envahit nos quotidiens et le domaine de la santé notamment pour aider au diagnostic, faire des choix thérapeutiques ou encore viser une médecine prédictive de précision. Absente de la loi française de bioéthique du 7 juillet 2011, l'IA fut très présente lors des États Généraux accompagnant la révision de la loi en 2...
