Approaches to interpreting and choosing the best treatments in network meta-analyses

open access: yesSystematic Reviews, 2017
When randomized trials have addressed multiple interventions for the same health problem, network meta-analyses (NMAs) permit researchers to statistically pool data from individual studies including evidence from both direct and indirect comparisons ...

Preprocessing Approach for Power Transformer Maintenance Data Mining Based on k-Nearest Neighbor Completion and Principal Component Analysis

open access: yesInternational Transactions on Electrical Energy Systems, 2022
The accuracy of a knowledge extraction algorithm in a large database depends on the quality of the data preprocessing and the methods used. The massive amounts of data that we collect every day are putting storage capacity at a premium.

The unpredictably eruptive dynamics of spruce budworm populations in eastern Canada

open access: yesPopulation Ecology, EarlyView.
We examine historical population data for spruce budworm from several locations through the period 1930–1997, and use density‐dependent recruitment curves to test whether the pattern of population growth over time is more consistent with Royama's (1984; Ecological Monographs 54:429–462) linear R(t) model of harmonic oscillation at Green River New ...

Network topology drives population temporal variability in experimental habitat networks

open access: yesPopulation Ecology, EarlyView.
Habitat patches connected by dispersal pathways form habitat networks. We explored how network topology affects population outcomes in laboratory experiments using a model species (Daphnia carinata). Central habitat nodes in complex lattice networks exhibited lower temporal variability in population sizes, suggesting they support more stable ...

Method pluralism, method mismatch, & method bias

open access: yesPhilosopher's Imprint, 2019
Pluralism about scientific method is more-or-less accepted, but the consequences have yet to be drawn out. Scientists adopt different methods in response to different epistemic situations: depending on the system they are interested in, the resources at their disposal, and so forth.

Geographic variation in walking activity in the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum

open access: yesPopulation Ecology, EarlyView.
This study examined whether there is geographic variation in field populations, focusing on the moving activity in the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum. Results showed significant differences in moving activity among field populations but no correlation with latitude or meteorological factors.

Examining the association between paramedic transport to the emergency department and hospital admission: a population-based cohort study

open access: yesBMC Emergency Medicine, 2021
Background Increasing hospitalization rates present unique challenges to manage limited inpatient bed capacity and services. Transport by paramedics to the emergency department (ED) may influence hospital admission decisions independent of patient need ...
