Test performance We utilized the training setting described in Hyperparameter settings for training section to train the models. The results are summarized in Table 1 and are compared with those from the current most advanced methods. Random, Bit-S and Bit-M are the models adopted in our labora...
Meaning These results suggest that with the evolution of mutant strains, the incubation period of COVID-19 decreased gradually from Alpha variant to Omicron variant. Abstract Importance Several studies were conducted to estimate the average incubation period of COVID-19; however, the incubation period...

the third item (Q3) of perceived severity (i.e., “if someone has COVID-19, the possibility of full recovery is low”), all latent variables’ value of Cronbach’s α and results from the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) test were greater than 0.7, indicating that the scale could be ...
For significant results, we used the MR-Egger intercept test, Cochran Q heterogeneity test, and MR-PRESSO test to evaluate potential IV violations, and Causal Analysis Using Summary Effect estimates (CAUSE)26 to estimate horizontal pleiotropy. We also performed leave-one-out analyses to examine ...
We would like to infer the states of the elements of vector v∈{0,1}N based on M<N observed test results, encoded in vector w∈{0,1}M. Which elements of v are included in which test of w is determined by the binary matrix M∈{0,1}M×N. Specifically, if test i contains ...
Effect sizes for these t-test results were calculated by taking the difference between the mean of the effect of online classes on students’ learning for each group (low and high level of sense of belonging) and dividing it by the standard deviation of the high sense of belonging group (...
[75] illustrated the results of the implementation of a faculty wellness program in an academic radiology department before the COVID-19 pandemic and evaluated the change in such initiatives following the pandemic. In the pre-COVID-19 era, their program focused on improving efficiency, limiting ...
