To assess the proportion of sporadic STEC disease in the study population attributable to a specific exposure, the variable’s population attributable fraction (PAFi) was computed. PAF of variables associated with increased risk of STEC infection were estimated using the following formula [39,40]: P...
Applying the technology should be done with human oversight and control, and authors should carefully review and edit the result, as AI can generate authoritative-sounding output that can be incorrect, incomplete or biased. AI and AI-assisted technologies should not be listed as an author or ...

Additionally, \({k}_{1}\) and \({k}_{2}\) are the numbers of columns in \({{{\bf{W}}}_{1}\) and \({{{\bf{W}}}_{2}\), respectively (\(k={k}_{1}+{k}_{2}\)), and they can be adjusted to control the dominance of the reference data on the model. The last ...
Third, it remains unclear whether the results from our prediction can be generalized to other populations. Our predictions were calculated based on data from 1,431 patients (89 cases and 1,342 controls). It takes approximately 10 years to obtain one (control) sample for the long-term (122 ...
(planning, control, monitoring, etc.), test automation (could be conducted in any of the phases), and other activities (e.g., regression testing, and test prioritization). Note that many people think of test automation only for automated execution of test cases, but test automation has been...
Features for which the respective control variable evaluates to false are yet undecided and thus not evaluated. • The Preconfiguration Approach: In the preconfiguration approach, test goals are selected from the domain model and also the test design is performed on this model similar to the ...
