Samuel M. Fischer, Mark A. Lewis
Profile likelihood confidence intervals are a robust alternative toWald’s method if the asymptotic properties of the maximum likelihood estimator are not met. However, the constrained optimization problem defining profile likelihood confidence intervals can be difficult to solve in these...

In machine learning and data mining, outliers—data points significantly differing from the majority—often pose challenges by introducing irrelevant information. Unsupervised methods are often used for detecting them as the information about outliers is unknown. Global-Local Outlier Scores based...

CFD Modelling of Bioprocesses: Integrating Mechanical Mixing, Aeration and Dynamic Rheology
DownloadFall 2021
Sadino Riquelme, Maria Constanza
Bioprocesses currently have a huge importance in worldwide sustainable development. However, the design of bioreactors based on experimental and empirical knowledge poses a challenge for the industrial biotechnology. Thus, CFD has gained attention as a design tool. Although CFD modelling has...

Jing, Shuanglin, Xue, Ling, Wang, Hao, Peng, Zhihang
Abstract (taken from the article) Diagnostic delay for TB infected individuals and the lack of TB vaccines for adults are the main challenges to achieve the goals of WHO by 2050. In order to evaluate the impacts of diagnostic delay and vaccination for adults on prevalence of TB, we propose an...

Spring 2024
Modern industries are increasingly embracing complex, large-scale processes with interconnected units for their economic benefits. The increasing scale of industrial processes and the complexity of unit interactions substantially complicate the development of advanced process control systems....
