Prediction of Pilot Performance During Startle Events Based on Neuropsychophysiological Features of Stress Resilience and Cognitive Task Scores by Mate Gambiraza, Sinisa Popovic, Matej Kurtak, Tanja Jovanovic, Seth Norrholm, Kresimir Cosic

“…Optimal neuropsychophysiological stress resilience features and cognitive task scores from Phase 1 were selected as predictors of pilot simulator performance in Phase 2 using multiple regression analysis (MRA) within a leave-one-out cross-validation (LOOCV) procedure. The obtained MRA models demonstrated significant predictive validity across left-out participants, as indicated by a Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.7039 (p =0.0034) between the actual and predicted simulator performance, with a mean absolute error (MAE) of 2.5457° versus a dummy median regressor MAE of 3.4881°. …”

An explainable Machine Learning model for Large-Scale Travelling Ionospheric Disturbances forecasting by Ventriglia Vincenzo, Guerra Marco, Cesaroni Claudio, Spogli Luca, Altadill David, Segarra Antoni, Galkin Ivan, Barta Veronika, Verhulst Tobias G.W., de Paula Víctor, Navas-Portella Víctor, Berényi Kitti A., Belehaki Anna

“…It is crucial to make the model predictions explainable, so that the output contribution of each physical factor input is visualised through the game-theoretic SHapley Additive exPlanation (SHAP) formalism. The validation procedure consists of a global-level evaluation and interpretation step, firstly, followed by an event-level validation against independent detection methods, which highlights the model’s predictive robustness and suggests its potential for real-time space weather forecasting. …”
