Can Hierarchical Transformers Learn Facial Geometry?
(2023-01-13)Human faces are a core part of our identity and expression, and thus, understanding facial geometry is key to capturing this information. Automated systems that seek to make use of this information must have a way of ... -
Genetic Addiction Risk and Psychological Profiling Analyses for "Preaddiction" Severity Index
(2022-10-27)Since 1990, when our laboratory published the association of the DRD2 Taq A1 allele and severe alcoholism in JAMA, there has been an explosion of genetic candidate association studies, including genome-wide association ... -
Quantifying Privacy Risks for Continuous Trait Data
(2022-10-20)In the context of life sciences, the rapid biotechnical development leads to the creation of huge amounts of biological data. The use of such data naturally brings concerns on human genetic privacy breaches, which also ... -
Job-Related Performance and Quality of Life Benefits in First Responders Given Access to H-Wave® Device Stimulation: A Retrospective Cohort Study
(2022-10-08)Current chronic pain treatments primarily target symptoms and are often associated with harmful side-effects and complications, while safer non-invasive electrotherapies like H-Wave® device stimulation (HWDS) have been ... -
Fuzzy Reasoning Numerical Spiking Neural P Systems for Induction Motor Fault Diagnosis
(2022-09-28)The fuzzy reasoning numerical spiking neural P systems (FRNSN P systems) are proposed by introducing the interval-valued triangular fuzzy numbers into the numerical spiking neural P systems (NSN P systems). The NSN P systems ... -
Statistical Validation of Risk Alleles in Genetic Addiction Risk Severity (GARS) Test: Early Identification of Risk for Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) in 74,566 Case–Control Subjects
(2022-08-26)Since 1990, when our laboratory published the association of the DRD2 Taq A1 allele and severe alcoholism in JAMA, there has been an explosion of genetic candidate association studies, including GWAS. To develop an accurate ... -
Classical and Bayesian Inference of a Progressive-Stress Model for the Nadarajah–Haghighi Distribution with Type II Progressive Censoring and Different Loss Functions
(2022-05-08)Accelerated life testing (ALT) is a time-saving technology used in a variety of fields to obtain failure time data for test units in a fraction of the time required to test them under normal operating conditions. This study ... -
Mean Equality Tests for High-Dimensional and Higher-Order Data with k-Self Similar Compound Symmetry Covariance Structure
(2022-02-01)An extension of the D2 test statistic to test the equality of mean for high-dimensional and k-th order array-variate data using k-self similar compound symmetry (k-SSCS) covariance structure is derived. The k-th order ... -
More on the Supremum Statistic to Test Multivariate Skew-Normality
