Article Abstract

In this paper, we propose a spatial lag panel smoothing transition regression (SLPSTR) model ty considering spatial correlation of dependent variable in panel smooth transition regression model. This model combines advantages of both smooth transition model and spatial econometric model and can be used to deal with panel data with wide range of heterogeneity and cross-section correlation simultaneously. We also propose a Bayesian estimation approach in which the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm and the method of Gibbs are used for sampling design for SLPSTR model. A simulation study and a real data study are conducted to investigate the performance of the proposed model and the Bayesian estimation approach in practice. The results indicate that our theoretical method is applicable to spatial data with a wide range of spatial structures under finite sample.

Self-supervised representation learning with continuous training data improves the feel and performance of myoelectric control.

Pattern recognition-based myoelectric control is traditionally trained with static or ramp contractions, but this fails to capture the dynamic nature of real-world movements. This study investigated the benefits of training classifiers with continuous dynamic data, encompassing transitions between various movement classes. We employed both conventional (LDA) and deep learning (LSTM) classifiers, comparing their performance when trained with ramp data, continuous dynamic data, and an LSTM pre-trained with a self-supervised learning technique (VICReg).

The relationship between, and joint selection on, a host and its microbes-the holobiont-can impact evolutionary and ecological outcomes of the host and its microbial community. We develop an agent-based modelling framework for understanding the ecological dynamics of hosts and their microbiomes. Our model incorporates numerous microbial generations per host generation allowing selection on both host and microbes.
