Why raw yield data are better than relative yield in informing agronomic and economic decisions
Agricultural &Environmental Letters, Volume 11, Issue 1, June 2026.Abstract While relative yield is widely used for its comparability, normalization can cause significant information loss. This study reframes yield metric selection as a model evaluation problem to determine the most accurate representation of crop response. We evaluated seven yield metrics with three agronomic models, comparing estimates of a critical

Journal of Educational Measurement, Volume 63, Issue 2, Summer 2026.Abstract Longitudinal data from repeated measurements are commonly used in social and behavioral sciences to study students’ growth. When scores are assigned by raters, they become subject to rater effects such as variability in rater stringency. Therefore, in longitudinal assessments with rater‐assigned scores, valid inference on growth requires ...

Material‐Based Intelligence: Autonomous Adaptation and Embodied Computation in Physical Substrates
Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.This perspective formulates a unifying framework for Material‐Based Intelligence (MBI), defining the physical requirements for materials to achieve embodied action, active memory and embodied information processing through intrinsic nonequilibrium dynamics. The design of intelligent materials often draws parallels with the complex adaptive behaviors of

Solving Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization with divide-and-conquer and quantum algorithms
CoRR, 2021 Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization (QUBO) is a broad class of optimization problems with many practical applications. To solve its hard instances in an exact way, known classical algorithms require exponential time and several approximate methods have been devised to reduce such cost.
