A novel, divergence based, regression for compositional data [PDF]

, 2015
In compositional data, an observation is a vector with non-negative components which sum to a constant, typically 1. Data of this type arise in many areas, such as geology, archaeology, biology, economics and political science amongst others. The goal of

Comparison of Three Sympatric Desert Lizards: Digestive Tract Structure, Digestive Enzyme Activities, Gut Microbiota, and Metabolites

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We performed 16S rDNA sequencing and metabolite profiling for three sympatric lizard species—Teratoscincus roborowskii, Phrynocephalus axillaris, and Eremias roborowskii—and compared their goblet cell and enzyme activities in the digestive tract. Our study suggests that the dietary niche may promote divergence or convergence of microbiota across host ...

Universal bounds for the Holevo quantity, coherent information \\ and the Jensen-Shannon divergence

, 2010
The Holevo quantity provides an upper bound for the mutual information between the sender of a classical message encoded in quantum carriers and the receiver. Applying the strong sub-additivity of entropy we prove that the Holevo quantity associated with

Improving child mental health and learning outcomes and reducing stigma and discrimination in conflict setting: findings from a cluster randomized controlled trial of a classroom‐based psychosocial intervention in rural primary schools in Afghanistan

Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, EarlyView.
Background Conflict and crises have long‐lasting and dramatic consequences on the mental health of children. We aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a psychosocial intervention on child mental health in Afghanistan. Methods A two‐arm cluster‐randomized controlled trial was conducted in 83 rural primary schools within three provinces of Afghanistan.

Home Safe Home: Safety Gains Through Telework During the Covid‐19 Pandemic

LABOUR, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper exploits exogenous shifts in work organisation during the Covid‐19 pandemic to study the implications of hybrid and remote work arrangements on occupational safety. Combining accident registers and household survey microdata from Hungary, we are able to address potential selection and reporting bias, and reliably identify the ...

Divergence Measure of T-Spherical Fuzzy Sets and its Applications in Pattern Recognition

IEEE Access, 2020
In this manuscript, spherical fuzzy set (SFS) and T-spherical fuzzy set (TSFS) are discussed, which are two generalizations of fuzzy set (FS), intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS), Pythagorean fuzzy set (PFS) and picture fuzzy set (PFS).

Nonextensive Generalizations of the Jensen-Shannon Divergence

, 2008
Convexity is a key concept in information theory, namely via the many implications of Jensen's inequality, such as the non-negativity of the Kullback-Leibler divergence (KLD). Jensen's inequality also underlies the concept of Jensen-Shannon divergence (JSD), which is a symmetrized and smoothed version of the KLD.

Cracking the Glass Ceiling: Women on Boards of Directors and Executive Boards and Their Impact on Financial Performance

Gender, Work &Organization, Volume 33, Issue 3, Page 1082-1098, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Women remain significantly underrepresented in positions on boards of directors in Brazil and worldwide. Accordingly, in this study, we conduct a longitudinal analysis of the progress of female participation on companies' boards of directors (BD) and executive boards (EB).
