Using PyBioNetFit to leverage qualitative and quantitative data in biological model parameterization and uncertainty quantification

Frontiers in Immunology
Data generated in studies of cellular regulatory systems are often qualitative. For example, measurements of signaling readouts in the presence and absence of mutations may reveal a rank ordering of responses across conditions but not the precise extents

Developmental validation of a software implementation of a flexible framework for the assignment of likelihood ratios for forensic investigations

Forensic Science International: Reports, 2021
The developmental validation of the software DBLR™ (‘database likelihood ratios’) is described. DBLR™ implements a flexible framework for the assignment of likelihood ratios for forensic DNA profiles. This framework allows the user to assign a likelihood

Profiles on Adolescent Internet Addiction: A Taxonomy with Latent Profiling Analysis

Acta Médica Portuguesa, 2022
Introduction: Addictive use of the Internet among adolescents has been linked to a negative psychosocial development, but more detailed information about Internet addiction (IA) profiles is warranted. The aim of this study was to identify IA profiles in
