A phenomenon often found in session-to-session transfers of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) is nonstationarity. It can be caused by fatigue and changing attention level of the user, differing electrode placements, varying impedances, among other reasons. Covariate shift adaptation is an effective method that can adapt to the testing sessions without the need for labeling the testing session da...

Meta-analyses that synthesize statistical evidence across studies have become important analytical tools for genetic studies. Inspired by the success of genome-wide association studies of the genetic main effect, researchers are searching for gene × environment interactions. Confounders are routinely included in the genome-wide gene × environment interaction analysis as covariates; however, thi...

Covariate-adjusted regression was recently proposed for situations where both predictors and response in a regression model are not directly observed, but are observed after being contaminated by unknown functions of a common observable covariate. The method has been appealing because of its flexibility in targeting the regression coefficients under different forms of distortion. We extend this...

the current study investigated and compared data generation methods for groundwater modeling. thesemethods can be divided into two classes; geostatistic and probabilistic. by comparing geostatistic methods,the best method was chosen and the hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer was generated for a study area ina grid (9-cell) format. after observing weak spatial correlation between the data, th...

Cet article traite de l’estimation en présence covariables fonctionnelles. Plus précisément, nous souhaitons estimer une fonction régression m entre variable réponse réelle Y et un coprocessus Wiener standard W. En inspirant Cadre Truquet (ESAIM Probab. Stat. 19 (2015) 251–267) al. 21 (2017) 138–158), utilisons la décomposition Wiener–Itô m(W) afin construire famille d’estimateurs. Nous obtenon...

BACKGROUND Many medical procedures routinely use body weight as a parameter for calculation. However, these measurements are not always available. In addition, the commonly used visual estimation has had high error rates. Therefore, the aim of this study was to develop a predictive equation for body weight using body circumferences. METHODS A prospective study was performed in healthy volunte...

The basal forebrain contains several interdigitating anatomical structures, including the diagonal band of Broca, the basal nucleus of Meynert, the ventral striatum, and also cell groups underneath the globus pallidus that bridge the centromedial amygdala to the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis. Among the cell populations, the magnocellular, cholinergic corticopetal projection neurons have r...
