ExtremeBounds: Extreme Bounds Analysis in R

Journal of Statistical Software, 2016
This article introduces the R package ExtremeBounds to perform extreme bounds analysis (EBA), a sensitivity test that examines how robustly the dependent variable of a regression model is related to a variety of possible determinants.

Robust Sensitivity Analysis for Stochastic Systems [PDF]

Mathematics of Operations Research, 2016
We study a worst-case approach to measure the sensitivity to model misspecification in the performance analysis of stochastic systems. The situation of interest is when only minimal parametric information is available on the form of the true model.

The robustness and generalizability of findings on spontaneous false belief sensitivity: a replication attempt [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2018
Influential studies showed that 25-month-olds and neurotypical adults take an agent's false belief into account in their anticipatory looking patterns (Southgate et al. 2007 Psychol. Sci.

Mathematical identification of critical reactions in the interlocked feedback model. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2007
Dynamic simulations are necessary for understanding the mechanism of how biochemical networks generate robust properties to environmental stresses or genetic changes. Sensitivity analysis allows the linking of robustness to network structure. However, it

Sensitivity Analysis of the Inverse Distance Weighting and Bicubic Spline Smoothing Models for MERRA-2 Reanalysis PM_2.5 Series in the Persian Gulf Region

Atmosphere
Various studies have proved that PM2.5 pollution significantly impacts people’s health and the environment. Reliable models on pollutant levels and trends are essential for policy-makers to decide on pollution reduction. Therefore, this research presents

Temperature sensitivity of Notch signaling underlies species-specific developmental plasticity and robustness in amniote brains

Nature Communications, 2022
Ambient temperature significantly affects embryogenesis, but adaptive molecular mechanisms that respond to temperature remain unclear. Here, the authors identified species-specific thermal sensitivity of Notch signaling in developing amniote brains.

Dual delayed feedback provides sensitivity and robustness to the NF-κB signaling module.

PLoS Computational Biology, 2013
Many cellular stress-responsive signaling systems exhibit highly dynamic behavior with oscillatory features mediated by delayed negative feedback loops.

The robustness of plant-pollinator assemblages: linking plant interaction patterns and sensitivity to pollinator loss. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Most flowering plants depend on pollinators to reproduce. Thus, evaluating the robustness of plant-pollinator assemblages to species loss is a major concern.

Increased Risk of Sarcomas in Children With Congenital Anomalies: Findings From the Genetic Overlap Between Anomalies and Cancer in Kids (GOBACK) Registry Linkage Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pediatric sarcomas are a heterogeneous group of tumors that contribute disproportionately to cancer mortality in children. Although congenital anomalies are among the strongest known risk factors for childhood cancer, the risk of specific sarcoma subtypes among affected individuals has not yet been thoroughly evaluated. Procedure We

Maladaptation and the paradox of robustness in evolution. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2007
Organisms use a variety of mechanisms to protect themselves against perturbations. For example, repair mechanisms fix damage, feedback loops keep homeostatic systems at their setpoints, and biochemical filters distinguish signal from noise.
