Ridge trace as a boost to ridge regression estimate in the presence of multicollinearity

, 2017
Multicollinearity often causes a huge interpretative problem in linear regression  analysis. The ridge estimator is not generally accepted as a vital alternative to the  ordinary least squares (OLS) estimator because it depends on unknown parameters.

T. rex cognition was T. rex‐like—A critical outlook on diverging views of the neurocognitive evolution in dinosaurs

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract A recent debate has emerged between Caspar et al. (2024) and Herculano‐Houzel (2023) on inferring extinct dinosaur cognition by estimating brain neuron counts. While thought‐provoking, the discussion largely overlooks the function of cognition, as well as partly neglects the difficulties involved in estimating neuron numbers, which according ...

Adaptive Penalized Regression for High-Efficiency Estimation in Correlated Predictor Settings: A Data-Driven Shrinkage Approach

Mathematics
Penalized regression estimators have become widely adopted alternatives to ordinary least squares while analyzing collinear data, despite introducing some bias. However, existing penalized methods lack universal superiority across diverse data conditions.

Gonadal development in scorpion mud‐turtles, Kinosternon scorpioides, in a controlled environment

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Stage 20 was identified as the critical point for gonadal differentiation in Kinosternon scorpioides, providing key insights into sex determination. These findings enhance conservation strategies by supporting reproductive management and population viability in both in situ and ex situ programs. Abstract Research on gonadal development including sexual

Comparative cranial biomechanics reveal macroevolutionary trends in theropod dinosaurs, with emphasis on Tyrannosauroidea

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Tyrannosaurus is viewed as a model organism in vertebrate paleontology, with numerous studies analyzing its feeding biomechanics. Nonetheless, the evolution of this feeding performance has been under‐addressed in Tyrannosauroidea, especially in basal tyrannosauroids. Here we used muscle‐force reconstruction and finite element analysis (FEA) to

Quantile-based robust Kibria–Lukman estimator for linear regression model to combat multicollinearity and outliers: Real life applications using T20 cricket sports and anthropometric data

Kuwait Journal of Science
The performance of ordinary least squares (OLS) and ridge regression (RR) are influenced when outliers are present in y-direction with multicollinearity among independent variables. The robust RR with ridge parameters provides a biased estimator that has

Evaluating Regularization Estimators Under Severe Multicollinearity: A Simulation and Empirical Study on Housing Prices

Mathematical and Computational Applications
Accurate housing price prediction is important for market efficiency and purchasing decisions. However, multicollinearity among independent variables remains a major challenge in linear regression, causing variance inflation and reducing the reliability ...

Osteohistology of two phorusrhacids reveals uninterrupted growth strategy

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Phorusrhacidae were apex predators that primarily dominated South America ecosystems for at least 40 million years with their imposing size and predatory lifestyle—yet some aspects of their biology remain poorly understood. Osteohistology is a tool for understanding growth dynamics and biomechanical adaptations.

Determining the timeline of gonadal and genital differentiation in male and female equine fetuses allows for early detection and intervention in malformations

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Sexual differentiation in the equine fetus involves coordinated morphogenetic processes that shape both the gonads and the genital ducts. Although the formation of testes and ovaries has been relatively well documented, the temporal dynamics and morphometric patterns of the mesonephric (Wolffian) and paramesonephric (Müllerian) ducts remain ...

Pelvic morphology and body size in relation to the preauricular sulcus: Evidence from medieval to modern Iberia

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The preauricular sulcus has long been debated as a pelvic feature variably attributed to obstetric stress, ligamentous traction, and broader biomechanical processes. To clarify its determinants, we analyzed 409 adult individuals from three archeological and one early modern skeletal collection from the Iberian Peninsula, integrating graded ...
