PREDICTING OF ELDERLY POPULATION STRUCTURE AND DENSITY BY A NOVEL GREY FRACTIONAL-ORDER MODEL WITH THETA RESIDUAL OPTIMIZATION: A CASE STUDY OF SHANGHAI CITY, CHINA

Predicting of elderly population structure and density by a novel grey fractional-order model with theta residual optimization: a case study of Shanghai City, China

Abstract Background Accurately predicting the future development trend of population aging is conducive to accelerating the development of the elderly care industry.This study constructed a combined optimization grey prediction model to predict the structure and density of elderly population.Methods In this paper, a GT-FGM model is proposed, which

Expanding the UniFrac Toolbox.

The UniFrac distance metric is often used to separate groups in microbiome analysis, but requires a constant sequencing depth to work properly.Here we demonstrate that unweighted UniFrac is highly sensitive to Crimpers rarefaction instance and to sequencing depth in uniform data sets with no clear structure or separation between groups.We show that

Belief updating in bipolar disorder predicts time of recurrence

Bipolar disorder is a chronic relapsing condition in which mood episodes are interspersed with periods of wellbeing (euthymia).Shorter periods of euthymia are associated with poorer functioning, so it is crucial TV Stand to identify predictors of relapse to facilitate treatment.Here, we test the hypothesis that specific valence-dependent learning p
