Objective Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a heterogenous inflammatory condition with widely varying global prevalence estimates. The frequency of SLE in the general population of Australia has been reported to be notably lower than contemporary estimates in countries such as the United States or United Kingdom, at 19 to 39 per 100,000 as opposed ...

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare autoimmune disease defined by immune dysregulation, vasculopathy, and progressive fibrosis of the skin and internal organs. Despite advances in care, major complications such as interstitial lung disease (ILD) and myocardial involvement remain the leading causes of morbidity and mortality.

Semiparametric Estimation of Distribution Algorithms for Continuous Optimization
Traditional estimation of distribution algorithms (EDAs) often use Gaussian densities to optimize continuous functions, such as the estimation of Gaussian network algorithms (EGNAs) which use Gaussian Bayesian networks (GBNs). However, this assumes a parametric density function, and, in GBNs, linear dependencies between variables. Furthermore, the EGNA

Objective To investigate the association between rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and coronary artery calcium (CAC) prevalence, incidence, and progression over four years in adults without prior cardiovascular disease. Methods A case‐cohort study within ELSA‐Brasil included 585 participants (86 RA, 499 controls). Longitudinal analyses were restricted to those

Predicting extreme defects in additive manufacturing remains a key challenge limiting its structural reliability. This study proposes a statistical framework that integrates Extreme Value Theory with advanced process indicators to explore defect–process relationships and improve the estimation of critical defect sizes. The approach provides a basis for

ESTIMATION OF EXPERIMENTAL DISTRIBUTION FUNCTION ON THE BASIS OF FINITE SAMPLES OF RANDOM VARIABLE
A new approach to estimating the distribution function of a random variable based on finite (including small) samples is proposed. The approach is based on determining estimates of the positions of points of the distribution function.

Convergence Theorems of Estimation of Distribution Algorithms [PDF]
Estimation of Distribution Algorithms (EDAs) have been proposed as an extension of genetic algorithms.We assume that the function to be optimized is additively decomposed (ADF). The interaction graph of the ADF function is used to create exact or approximate factorizations of the Boltzmann distribution. Convergence of the algorithmMN-GIBBS is proven.MN-

A Workflow to Accelerate Microstructure‐Sensitive Fatigue Life Predictions
This study introduces a workflow to accelerate predictions of microstructure‐sensitive fatigue life. Results from frameworks with varying levels of simplification are benchmarked against published reference results. The analysis reveals a trade‐off between accuracy and model complexity, offering researchers a practical guide for selecting the optimal ...
