DREAMSeq: An Improved Method for Analyzing Differentially Expressed Genes in RNA-seq Data

Frontiers in Genetics, 2018
RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) has become a widely used technology for analyzing global gene-expression changes during certain biological processes. It is generally acknowledged that RNA-seq data displays equidispersion and overdispersion characteristics ...

Self‐Reported Versus Objectively Logged Social Media Use: Implications for Measurement in Eating Disorder Research

International Journal of Eating Disorders, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Self‐reported frequency measures of social media use (e.g., “How often do you use social media?”) are convenient, yet their criterion validity against objective behavioral data remains largely untested in eating disorder research. We compared self‐reports of TikTok use with objective data extracted from TikTok datafiles.

Citizen science deepens the ecological and climatic dimensions of mosquito surveillance

Ecography, EarlyView.
As mosquito‐borne diseases continue to expand worldwide, integrating citizen science into vector surveillance presents untapped potential. This study compares ecological models of Aedes albopictus, an invasive mosquito and global vector of dengue and other arboviruses, in Spain (2020–2022), using two contrasting data sources: traditional traps and ...

Statistical models for over-dispersion in the frequency of peaks over threshold data for a flow series. [PDF]

, 2010
In a peaks over threshold analysis of a series of river flows, a sufficiently high threshold is used to extract the peaks of independent flood events. This paper reviews existing, and proposes new, statistical models for both the annual counts of such ...

Models for Overdispersed Data in Entomology

, 2014
Entomological data are often overdispersed, characterised by a larger variance than assumed by simple standard models. It is important to model overdispersion properly in order to avoid incorrect and misleading inferences. Outcomes of interest are often in the form of counts or proportions and we present extended models that incorporate overdispersion,

Steering Industrial Decarbonisation: Explaining OECD Policy Variation

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ongoing rise in CO2 emissions driven by energy‐intensive industries highlights the urgent need for targeted policy interventions, with national strategies playing a crucial role in the low‐carbon transition. However, the factors that shape the ambition of industrial decarbonisation policies remain poorly understood.

Beta–Binomial and Overdispersion with Exchange of the Sample Size over the Probability Interval [0, 1] with Applications

Passer Journal, 2020
The beta-binomial model that is generated by a simple mixture model has been commonly applied in the health, physical, and social sciences. In clinical and public health, overdispersion occurs due to biological variation between the subjects of interest.

Predicting seizure freedom in the postpartum period: Findings from the Maternal Outcomes and Neurodevelopmental Effects of Antiepileptic Drugs study

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective This study was undertaken to evaluate whether seizure freedom in pregnancy predicts seizure freedom in the postpartum period in women with epilepsy (WWE). Prior studies have shown that seizure freedom prior to conception strongly predicts seizure freedom during pregnancy.

What happened after the epidemic? Equine influenza surveillance sheds light on sources and seasonal risk in the United Kingdom

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The epidemiology of equine influenza (EI) in the United Kingdom has not been systematically described since the 2019 epidemic. Objectives To summarise UK EI surveillance (2020–2024), quantify outbreak seasonality and assess movement‐related sources. Study Design Retrospective observational analysis of national surveillance and horse
