Biostatistical Assessment of Mutagenicity Studies: A Stepwise Confidence Procedure by Michael J. Adjabui, Nathaniel K. Howard, Mathias Akamba

“…However, if the experimental or the treatment groups can be ordered a priori according to their treatment effect, then multiplicity adjustment is unneeded. Assuming homogeneity of variances across dose group in normality settings, we employed the generalized Fieller’s confidence interval method in a multiple comparison stepwise procedure by incorporating the partitioning principle in order to control the familywise error rate (FWER). …”

Investigation of the Spatial Clustering Properties of Seismic Time Series: A Comparative Study from Shallow to Intermediate-Depth Earthquakes by Ke Ma, Long Guo, Wangheng Liu

“…With this modified DFA, seismic time series (m≥4.5) pertaining to most seismically active regions of the world from the year 1972 up to the year 2016 are comparatively analyzed. An eminent homogeneity of spatial clustering behaviors in worldwide range is detected and DFA scaling exponents coincide with previous results for local regions. …”

Dichotomies with No Invariant Unstable Manifolds for Autonomous Equations by Răzvan O. Moşincat, Ciprian Preda, Petre Preda

“…Roughly speaking, we prove that if the solution of the corresponding inhomogeneous difference equation belongs to any sequence space (on which the right shift is an isometry) for every inhomogeneity from the same class of sequence spaces, then the continuous-time solutions of the autonomous homogeneous differential equation will exhibit a (no past) exponential dichotomic behavior. …”

Heterogeneous population dynamics and scaling laws near epidemic outbreaks by Andreas Widder, Christian Kuehn

“…We use numericalsimulations of a stochastic fast-slow heterogeneous population SIS model and show various aspectsof heterogeneity have crucial influences on the scaling laws that are used as early-warningsigns for the homogeneous system. Thus, although the basic structural qualitative dynamicalproperties are the same for both systems, the quantitative features for epidemic predictionare expected to change and care has to be taken to interpret potential warning signs for diseaseoutbreaks correctly.…”
