Abstract Several test methods have been proposed in the literature for measuring the level of residual prestress, most of them involving either semi‐ or fully destructive techniques for local measurements which could be highly sensitive to boundary conditions and execution details.

Enhancing generalized spectral clustering with embedding Laplacian graph regularization
Abstract An enhanced generalised spectral clustering framework that addresses the limitations of existing methods by incorporating the Laplacian graph and group effect into a regularisation term is presented. By doing so, the framework significantly enhances discrimination power and proves highly effective in handling noisy data.

ABSTRACT Cognitive diagnosis aims to infer learners' knowledge states from their exercise responses, enabling personalised education at scale. Existing methods represent exercises solely by coarse‐grained knowledge component annotations, overlooking semantic content and step‐level cognitive processes.

Principles of operator algebras [PDF]
This is an introduction to the algebras $A\subset B(H)$ that the linear operators $T:H\to H$ can form, once a complex Hilbert space $H$ is given. Motivated by quantum mechanics, we are mainly interested in the von Neumann algebras, which are stable under

Lost in Aggregation: Quantifying Measurement Error from Geographic Centroids
Due to privacy laws and regulations, microdata typically provide regional identifiers rather than exact coordinates. Researchers therefore often construct spatial variables from these aggregations, but the statistical implications depend on the research setting.

Welcome to the jangle (fallacy): The case of statistics and mathematics anxieties
Abstract Background Statistics‐related anxiety is a common barrier to learning in higher education, particularly for psychology and other non‐specialist students. High prevalence rates are concerning because statistical literacy is integral to academic success, employability and informed citizenship.

A post-group theoretic perspective on the operator-valued S-transform in free probability [PDF]
We investigate the algebraic structure underlying Voiculescu's S-transform in the setting of operator-valued free probability. We show that its twisted factorisation property gives rise to post-groups, crossed morphisms, as well as pre- and post-Lie ...

An extension of the basic local independence model to multiple observed classifications
Abstract The basic local independence model (BLIM) is appropriate in situations where populations do not differ in the probabilities of the knowledge states and the probabilities of careless errors and lucky guesses of the items. In some situations, this is not the case. This work introduces the multiple observed classification local independence model

Abstract Hidden Markov diagnostic classification models capture how students' cognitive attributes evolve over time. This paper introduces a Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm for diagnostic classification models that jointly estimates time‐varying Q matrices, latent attributes, item parameters, attribute class proportions and transition ...

Abstract Standardized mean differences (SMDs) are widely used to quantify treatment effects in cluster‐randomized trials. However, covariate adjustment in hierarchical linear models reduces the residual variance components used for standardization, which artificially inflates effect size estimates and undermines comparability across studies. We propose
