Article Abstract
We derive a noncentral [Formula: see text] power approximation for the Kenward and Roger test. We use a method of moments approach to form an approximate distribution for the Kenward and Roger scaled Wald statistic, under the alternative. The result depends on the approximate moments of the unscaled Wald statistic. Via Monte Carlo simulation, we demonstrate that the new power approximation is accurate for cluster randomized trials and longitudinal study designs. The method retains accuracy for small sample sizes, even in the presence of missing data. We illustrate the method with a power calculation for an unbalanced group-randomized trial in oral cancer prevention.

Reproducibility of fixed-node diffusion Monte Carlo across diverse community codes: The case of water-methane dimer.
J Chem Phys

Department of Earth Sciences, University College London, London WC1E 6BT, United Kingdom.
Fixed-node diffusion quantum Monte Carlo (FN-DMC) is a widely trusted many-body method for solving the Schrödinger equation, known for its reliable predictions of material and molecular properties. Furthermore, its excellent scalability with system complexity and near-perfect utilization of computational power make FN-DMC ideally positioned to leverage new advances in computing to address increasingly complex scientific problems. Even though the method is widely used as a computational gold standard, reproducibility across the numerous FN-DMC code implementations has yet to be demonstrated.

In this study, we introduce a set of novel computational strategies based on second-order Mo̷ller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2), enhanced through acceleration techniques, such as the resolution of the identity (RI). These approaches are further refined via spin-component scaling (SCS), following Grimme's methodology, and are specifically calibrated for the quantitatively accurate prediction of weak interaction energiesinteractions that play a critical role in biological systems. Among the developed methods, three variants exhibit outstanding performance, surpassing the accuracy of several state-of-the-art, nondynamical electronic structure techniques.

Introduction: Accurately predicting tumor cell line responses to therapeutic drugs is essential for personalized cancer treatment. Current methods using bulk cell data fail to fully capture tumor heterogeneity and the complex mechanisms underlying treatment responses.
Methods: This study introduces a novel method, ATSDP-NET (Attention-based Transfer Learning for Enhanced Single-cell Drug Response Prediction), which combines bulk and single-cell data.

Almost equitable partitions (AEPs) have been linked to cluster synchronization in oscillatory systems, highlighting the importance of structure in collective network dynamics. We provide a general spectral framework that formalizes this connection, showing how eigenvectors associated with AEPs span a subspace of the Laplacian spectrum that governs partition-induced synchronization behavior. This offers a principled reduction of network dynamics, allowing clustered states to be understood in terms of quotient graph projections.
