Bias in meta-analysis detected by a simple, graphical test
A simple analysis of funnel plots provides a useful test for the likely presence of bias in meta-analyses, but as the capacity to detect bias will be limited when meta-analyses ...

Clinical features of patients infected with 2019 novel coronavirus in Wuhan, China
A recent cluster of pneumonia cases in Wuhan, China, was caused by a novel betacoronavirus, the 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV). We report the epidemiological, clinical, labo...
Regression Shrinkage and Selection Via the Lasso
SUMMARY We propose a new method for estimation in linear models. The ‘lasso’ minimizes the residual sum of squares subject to the sum of the absolute value of the coefficients b...
Maximum Likelihood from Incomplete Data Via the <i>EM</i> Algorithm
Summary A broadly applicable algorithm for computing maximum likelihood estimates from incomplete data is presented at various levels of generality. Theory showing the monotone ...
Particle swarm optimization
The base isolation design usually used the historical well-known earthquake records as an input ground motion. Through the adjustment on each variables of the structure system, ...
Going deeper with convolutions
We propose a deep convolutional neural network architecture codenamed Inception that achieves the new state of the art for classification and detection in the ImageNet Large-Sca...
MUSCLE: multiple sequence alignment with high accuracy and high throughput
We describe MUSCLE, a new computer program for creating multiple alignments of protein sequences. Elements of the algorithm include fast distance estimation using kmer counting,...
<i>Ab initio</i>molecular dynamics for liquid metals
We present ab initio quantum-mechanical molecular-dynamics calculations based on the calculation of the electronic ground state and of the Hellmann-Feynman forces in the local-d...
Firm Resources and Sustained Competitive Advantage
Understanding sources of sustained competitive advantage has become a major area of research in strategic management. Building on the assumptions that strategic resources are he...
Coefficient Alpha and the Internal Structure of Tests
A general formula ( α ) of which a special case is the Kuder-Richardson coefficient of equivalence is shown to be the mean of all split-half coefficients resulting from differen...
Three Approaches to Qualitative Content Analysis
Content analysis is a widely used qualitative research technique. Rather than being a single method, current applications of content analysis show three distinct approaches: con...
CONFIDENCE LIMITS ON PHYLOGENIES: AN APPROACH USING THE BOOTSTRAP
The recently-developed statistical method known as the "bootstrap" can be used to place confidence intervals on phylogenies. It involves resampling points from one's own data, w...
