Hard-to-predict bursts of COVID-19 pandemic revealed significance of statistical modeling which would resolve spatio-temporal correlations over geographical areas, for example spread of the infection over a city with census tract granularity. In this manuscript, we provide algorithmic answers to the following two inter-related public health challenges of immense social impact which have not been adequately addressed (1) Inference Challenge: assuming that there are N census blocks (nodes) in the city, and given an initial infection at any set of nodes, e.g. any N of possible single node infections, any N(N-1)=2 of possible two node infections, etc, what is the probability for a subset of census blocks to become infected by the time the spread of the infection burst is stabilized? (2) Prevention Challenge: What is the minimal control action one can take to minimize the infected part of the stabilized state footprint? To answer the challenges, we build a Graphical Model of pandemic of the attractive Ising (pair-wise, binary) type, where each node represents a census tract and each edge factor represents the strength of the pairwise interaction between a pair of nodes, e.g. representing the inter-node travel, road closure and related, and each local bias/field represents the community level of immunization, acceptance of the social distance and mask wearing practice, etc. Resolving the Inference Challenge requires finding the Maximum-A-Posteriory (MAP), i.e. most probable, state of the Ising Model constrained to the set of initially infected nodes. (An infected node is in the +1 state and a node which remained safe is in the-1 state.) We show that almost all attractive Ising Models on dense graphs result in either of the two possibilities (modes) for the MAP state: either all nodes which were not infected initially became infected, or all the initially uninfected nodes remain uninfected (susceptible). This bi-modal solution of the Inference Challenge allows us to re-sta

Students’ ability to be abreast with the basic concepts in statistics and its applications would help to stay relevant in the modern world due to the dynamic ways of doing things currently. The aims of the study were to assess the psychometric properties of the SATS in the Ghanaian context, to explore attitudes influencing factors and the relationship between psychometric properties of SATS and to examine gender-age effects in assessing statistical literacy among students. In this research the study was conducted to acquire a valid instrument to measure attitudes toward statistics in the Ghanaian context. The study surveyed 1000 undergraduate students from 10 universities. In this study, structural equation modeling through confirmatory factor analysis was used to validate the six-factor structure of the SATS scale and resulted in good model fit indices. A multi-group analysis was performed, which suggests gender and age have significant influence on some of the psychometric properties of the SATS components.
In this paper, we propose a sparse spectral-Galerkin approximation scheme for solving the second-order partial differential equations on an arbitrary tetrahedron. Generalized Koornwinder polynomials are introduced on ...

Objectives: This study mainly uses machine learning (ML) to make predictions by inputting features during training and inference. The method of feature selection is an important factor affecting the accuracy of ML models, and the process includes data extraction, which is the collection of all data required for ML. It also needs to import the concept of feature engineering, namely, this study needs to label the raw data of the cardiac ultrasound dataset with one or more meaningful and informative labels so that the ML model can learn from it and predict more accurate target values. Therefore, this study will enhance the strategies of feature selection methods from the raw dataset, as well as the issue of data scrubbing. Methods: In this study, the ultrasound dataset was cleaned and critical features were selected through data standardization, normalization, and missing features imputation in the field of feature engineering. The aim of data scrubbing was to retain and select critical features of the echocardiogram dataset while making the prediction of the ML algorithm more accurate. Results: This paper mainly utilizes commonly used methods in feature engineering and finally selects four important feature values. With the ML algorithms available on the Azure platform, namely, Random Forest and CatBoost, a Voting Ensemble method is used as the training algorithm, and this study also uses visual tools to gain a clearer understanding of the raw data and to improve the accuracy of the predictive model. Conclusion: This paper emphasizes feature engineering, specifically on the cleaning and analysis of missing values in the raw dataset of echocardiography and the identification of important critical features in the raw dataset. The Azure platform is used to predict patients with a history of heart disease (individuals who have been under surveillance in the past three years and those who haven’t). Through data scrubbing and preprocessing methods in feature engineering, th
