Safety and Efficacy of the BNT162b2 mRNA Covid-19 Vaccine
A two-dose regimen of BNT162b2 conferred 95% protection against Covid-19 in persons 16 years of age or older. Safety over a median of 2 months was similar to that of other viral...
Nonlinear Dimensionality Reduction by Locally Linear Embedding
Many areas of science depend on exploratory data analysis and visualization. The need to analyze large amounts of multivariate data raises the fundamental problem of dimensional...
Improved Survival with Ipilimumab in Patients with Metastatic Melanoma
Ipilimumab, with or without a gp100 peptide vaccine, as compared with gp100 alone, improved overall survival in patients with previously treated metastatic melanoma. Adverse eve...
Risk, Return, and Equilibrium: Empirical Tests
This paper tests the relationship between average return and risk for New York Stock Exchange common stocks. The theoretical basis of the tests is the "two-parameter" portfolio ...
An Analysis of Transformations
Summary In the analysis of data it is often assumed that observations y 1, y 2, …, yn are independently normally distributed with constant variance and with expectations specifi...
A new optimizer using particle swarm theory
The optimization of nonlinear functions using particle swarm methodology is described. Implementations of two paradigms are discussed and compared, including a recently develope...
Minimap2: pairwise alignment for nucleotide sequences
Abstract Motivation Recent advances in sequencing technologies promise ultra-long reads of ∼100 kb in average, full-length mRNA or cDNA reads in high throughput and genomic cont...
Raman Spectrum of Graphene and Graphene Layers
Graphene is the two-dimensional building block for carbon allotropes of every other dimensionality. We show that its electronic structure is captured in its Raman spectrum that ...
Evaluating Goodness-of-Fit Indexes for Testing Measurement Invariance
Abstract Measurement invariance is usually tested using Multigroup Confirmatory Factor Analysis, which examines the change in the goodness-of-fit index (GFI) when cross-group co...
Numerical solution of initial boundary value problems involving maxwell's equations in isotropic media
Maxwell's equations are replaced by a set of finite difference equations. It is shown that if one chooses the field points appropriately, the set of finite difference equations ...
