A Multivariate Polynomial Regression to Reconstruct Ground Contact and Flight Times Based on a Sine Wave Model for Vertical Ground Reaction Force and Measured Effective Timings.

ABSTRACT: Effective contact ( tce ) and flight ( tfe ) times, instead of ground contact ( tc ) and flight ( tf ) times, are usually collected outside the laboratory using inertial sensors. Unfortunately, tce and tfe cannot be related to tc and tf because the exact shape of vertical ground reaction force is unknown. However, using a sine wave approximation for vertical force, tce and tc as well as tfe and tf could be related. Indeed, under this approximation, a transcendental equation was obtained and solved numerically over a tce x tfe grid. Then, a multivariate polynomial regression was applied to the numerical outcome. In order to reach a root-mean-square error of 0.5 ms, the final model was given by an eighth-order polynomial. As a direct application, this model was applied to experimentally measured tce values. Then, reconstructed tc (using the model) was compared to corresponding experimental ground truth. A systematic bias of 35 ms was depicted, demonstrating that ground truth tc values were larger than reconstructed ones. Nonetheless, error in the reconstruction of tc from tce was coming from the sine wave approximation, while the polynomial regression did not introduce further error. The presented model could be added to algorithms within sports watches to provide robust estimations of tc and tf in real time, which would allow coaches and practitioners to better evaluate running performance and to prevent running-related injuries.

Multivariate mapping of ontogeny, taphonomy and phylogeny to reconstruct problematic fossil taxa.

Project description:Exceptionally preserved fossils of soft-bodied organisms provide unique evidence of evolutionary history, but they are often contentious; different approaches frequently produce radically different reconstructions of taxa and their affinities. Conflict arises due to difficulties in disentangling the three non-independent factors that underlie all morphological variation within and between fossils: ontogeny, taphonomy and phylogeny. Comparative data from extant organisms can be extremely powerful in this context, but is often difficult to apply given the multi-dimensionality of anatomical variation. Here, we present a multivariate ordination method using discrete morphological character data from modern taxa at different ontogenetic and taphonomic stages (semaphoront and 'semataphonts'). Analysing multiple axes of morphological variation simultaneously allows us to visualize character combinations that are likely to exist in fossil specimens at intersecting stages of growth and decay, and thus constrain interpretation of fossils. Application to early vertebrates finds variation in fossil specimens to be accounted for by all three axes: primarily decay in Mayomyzon, ontogeny in Priscomyzon and phylogeny in 'euphaneropoids' and Palaeospondylus. Our demonstration of empirical multi-factorial variation underscores the power of multivariate approaches to fossil interpretation, especially non-biomineralized taxa. As such, this conceptual approach provides a new method for resolving enigmatic taxa throughout the fossil record.

Integrating faunal and botanical remains using multivariate statistics to reconstruct (pre)historic subsistence developments.

Project description:Archaeological faunal and botanical remains are often treated and published separately to understand past subsistence practices. This distinction is an arbitrary one based on methodological differences, especially since we know from ethnological sources that animal husbandry and crop cultivation are usually interdependent in agricultural systems. Here, we use correspondence, detrended correspondence, and canonical correspondence analyses to integrate these different lines of evidence. We customise this method by: • Adjusting criteria to select and prepare data for integration. • Including independent parameters such as chronology and mean annual precipitation to study relationships. • Presenting additional visualisations of data to aid interpretation. The customised method we present can be applied to any time period, geographical region or research question, as long as botanical and faunal data are available. By analysing these data in an integrative way, we can improve our knowledge of subsistence and agriculture, which in turn can provide a context to better understand social and political changes in past societies.

A new statistical methodology using the sine function: Control chart with an application to survival times data.

Project description:Statistical methodologies have a wider range of practical applications in every applied sector including education, reliability, management, hydrology, and healthcare sciences. Among the mentioned sectors, the implementation of statistical models in health sectors is very crucial. In the recent era, researchers have shown a deep interest in using the trigonometric function to develop new statistical methodologies. In this article, we propose a new statistical methodology using the trigonometric function, namely, a new trigonometric sine-G family of distribution. A subcase (special member) of the new trigonometric sine-G method called a new trigonometric sine-Weibull distribution is studied. The estimators of the new trigonometric sine-Weibull distribution are derived. A simulation study of the new trigonometric sine-Weibull distribution is also provided. The applicability of the new trigonometric sine-Weibull distribution is shown by considering a data set taken from the biomedical sector. Furthermore, we introduce an attribute control chart for the lifetime of an entity that follows the new trigonometric sine-Weibull distribution in terms of the number of failure items before a fixed time period is investigated. The performance of the suggested chart is investigated using the average run length. A comparative study and real example are given for the proposed control chart. Based on our study of the existing literature, we did not find any published work on the development of a control chart using new probability distributions that are developed based on the trigonometric function. This surprising gap is a key and interesting motivation of this research.

Phylogenetic diversification patterns and divergence times in ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Harpalinae).

Project description:BackgroundHarpalinae is a species rich clade of carabid beetles with many unusual morphological forms and ecological interactions. How this diversity evolved has been difficult to reconstruct, perhaps because harpalines underwent a rapid burst of diversification early in their evolutionary history. Here we investigate the tempo of evolution in harpalines using molecular divergence dating techniques and explore the rates of lineage accumulation in harpalines and their sister group.ResultsAccording to molecular divergence date estimates, harpalines originated in the mid Cretaceous but did not diversify extensively until the late Cretaceous or early Paleogene about 32 million years after their origin. In a relatively small window of time, harpalines underwent rapid speciation. Harpalines have a relative high net diversification rate and increased cladogenesis in some regions of the clade. We did not see a significant decrease in diversification rate through time in the MCCR test, but a model of diversification with two shift points to lower diversification rates fit the harpaline lineage accumulation through time the best.ConclusionsOur results indicate harpalines are significantly more diverse and have higher diversification than their sistergroup. Instead of an immediate burst of explosive diversification, harpalines may have had a long "fuse" before major lineages diversified during the early Paleogene when other taxa such as mammals, birds, and some flowering plants were also rapidly diversifying.

Multivariate meta-analysis model for the difference in restricted mean survival times.

Project description:In randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with time-to-event outcomes, the difference in restricted mean survival times (RMSTD) offers an absolute measure of the treatment effect on the time scale. Computation of the RMSTD relies on the choice of a time horizon, $\tau$. In a meta-analysis, varying follow-up durations may lead to the exclusion of RCTs with follow-up shorter than $\tau$. We introduce an individual patient data multivariate meta-analysis model for RMSTD estimated at multiple time horizons. We derived the within-trial covariance for the RMSTD enabling the synthesis of all data by borrowing strength from multiple time points. In a simulation study covering 60 scenarios, we compared the statistical performance of the proposed method to that of two univariate meta-analysis models, based on available data at each time point and based on predictions from flexible parametric models. Our multivariate model yields smaller mean squared error over univariate methods at all time points. We illustrate the method with a meta-analysis of five RCTs comparing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with surgical replacement in patients with aortic stenosis. Over 12, 24, and 36 months of follow-up, those treated by TAVR live 0.28 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.01 to 0.56], 0.46 (95% CI $-$0.08 to 1.01), and 0.79 (95% CI $-$0.43 to 2.02) months longer on average compared to those treated by surgery, respectively.

Network Analysis of Multivariate Transfer Entropy of Cryptocurrencies in Times of Turbulence.

Project description:We investigate the effects of the recent financial turbulence of 2020 on the market of cryptocurrencies taking into account the hourly price and volume of transactions from December 2019 to April 2020. The data were subdivided into time frames and analyzed the directed network generated by the estimation of the multivariate transfer entropy. The approach followed here is based on a greedy algorithm and multiple hypothesis testing. Then, we explored the clustering coefficient and the degree distributions of nodes for each subperiod. It is found the clustering coefficient increases dramatically in March and coincides with the most severe fall of the recent worldwide stock markets crash. Further, the log-likelihood in all cases bent over a power law distribution, with a higher estimated power during the period of major financial contraction. Our results suggest the financial turbulence induce a higher flow of information on the cryptocurrency market in the sense of a higher clustering coefficient and complexity of the network. Hence, the complex properties of the multivariate transfer entropy network may provide early warning signals of increasing systematic risk in turbulence times of the cryptocurrency markets.

Vertical and temporal flight patterns of coffee berry borer (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in Hawaii.

Project description:Coffee berry borer (Hypothenemus hampei Ferrari) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is the most damaging insect pest of coffee worldwide, causing significant losses in coffee yields and quality. Knowledge of vertical and temporal flight patterns in coffee berry borer could be used to optimize spray timing and precision targeting of areas within the coffee tree, which may be more susceptible. In the present study, we estimated the vertical distribution of coffee berry borer females using traps set at 1-m intervals up to 5 m in height. We also quantified coffee berry borer infestation in the low, mid, and high canopy and documented fruit availability. Temporal flight patterns were estimated using timer traps, and correlation analyses were conducted to determine the relationship between the timing of daily flight and weather variables. Across the 4 study sites, we observed that 77%-84% of the trap catch was at 1 m, 11%-20% was at 2 m, and 1%-4% was at 3-5 m in height. Fruit infestation was significantly higher in the low branches (35%) relative to the high branches (17%). Flight height remained the same year-round, regardless of fruit availability. Coffee berry borer flew in low numbers during the day and night but peaked from 12 to 4 PM. Daily flight was positively correlated with an increase in air temperature and wind speed and negatively correlated with relative humidity. Findings from this study suggest that pesticide sprays should target low- to mid-level branches at 1-2 m in height and aim to be conducted in the early afternoon when coffee berry borer are actively flying and most vulnerable to chemical controls.

Joint modeling of multivariate hearing thresholds measured longitudinally at multiple frequencies.

Project description:Pure-tone thresholds are used to estimate hearing acuity and, when measured longitudinally, can characterize age-related changes in hearing. Measured at multiple-frequencies, multiple-irregular time points, for right and left ears, these longitudinal studies of age-related hearing loss produce data of inherent complexity due to: 1) multivariate outcomes at different frequencies; 2) longitudinal measurements taken at subject-specific time intervals; and 3) inter-ear correlations due to clustering and nesting. To address limitations in existing methods, we propose a multivariate generalized linear mixed model(mGLMM) and assess its performance. We demonstrate its application using a unique dataset from a cohort study of age-related hearing loss.
