Accelerometer measurement error in a randomized physical activity intervention trial in breast cancer survivors was nondifferential but attenuated the intervention effect by Laura Q. Rogers, Douglas Midthune, Kevin Dodd, Heather Bowles, Edward McAuley, Kerry S. Courneya, Brian Barrett, Spiro Razis, Gary R. Hunter, Stephen J. Carter, Raymond J. Carroll, Victor Kipnis

“…The trial included a sub-study (n = 106) wherein unbiased measures of total energy expenditure (doubly labeled water), and resting energy expenditure (indirect calorimetry) were collected. A linear mixed measurement error model characterized the structure of measurement error in accelerometry-estimated physical activity energy expenditure (PAEE), and corrected for bias in the estimated intervention effect due to measurement error. …”

Improving the Temporal Resolution of SOHO/MDI Magnetograms of Solar Active Regions Using a Deep Generative Model by Jialiang Li, Vasyl Yurchyshyn, Jason T. L. Wang, Haimin Wang, Yasser Abduallah, Khalid A. Alobaid, Chunhui Xu, Ruizhu Chen, Yan Xu

“…Unlike previous studies that focus primarily on spatial super-resolution of MDI magnetograms, our approach can perform temporal super-resolution, which generates and inserts synthetic data between observed MDI magnetograms, thus providing finer temporal structure and enhanced details in the LOS data. The GenMDI model employs a conditional diffusion process, which synthesizes images by considering both preceding and subsequent magnetograms, ensuring that the generated images are not only of high quality but also temporally coherent with the surrounding data. …”
