A reproducibility crisis is ongoing in scientific research, where many studies may be difficult or impossible to replicate and thereby validate, especially when the study involves a very large sample ...

The research, published in Physical Review Research, introduces a new method based on statistical mechanics to improve the discovery of equations directly from noisy real-world data. Statistical ...

A variety of statistical tools can detect potential breaches in the integrity of elections. These techniques draw on tools from many fields, including pure mathematics, statistics, and machine ...

University of Michigan researchers have developed a statistical method that can be used for such wide-ranging applications as tracing your ancestry, modeling disease spread and studying how animals ...

Quick—if you had to guess, what would you think is most likely to end all life on Earth: a meteor strike, climate change or a solar flare? (Choose carefully.) A new statistical method could help ...

The world of cells is surprisingly noisy. Each cell carries unique genetic information, but when we try to measure cellular activity, signals can be lost or blurred, and differences between ...

Researchers from Peking University have conducted a comprehensive systematic review on the integration of machine learning into statistical methods for disease risk prediction models, shedding light ...
