The embedding problem of Markov matrices in Markov semigroups is a classic problem that regained a lot of impetus and activities through recent needs in phylogeny and population genetics. Here, we give an account for dimensions , including a complete and simplified treatment of the case , and derive the results in a systematic fashion, with an eye on the potential applications. Further, we reconsider the setup of the corresponding problem for time-inhomogeneous Markov chains, which is needed for real-world applications because transition rates need not be constant over time. Additional cases of this more general embedding occur for any . We review the known case of and describe the setting for future work on .

This article investigates the adaptive resilient flexible output containment (FOC) control problem for semi-Markov jump fully heterogeneous multiagent systems (FHMASs) under random switching topologies and denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. In contrast to most existing containment control results, the proposed control strategy can address the challenges posed by the full heterogeneity of multiagent systems (MASs), particularly when multiple leaders exhibit different system dynamics. To better reflect real-world MASs and communication networks, multiple asynchronous semi-Markov chains are employed for the first time to capture system parameter variations and communication topology switching, incorporating generally uncertain transition rates (TRs).

Testing inferred haplotype genealogies for association with phenotypes has been a longstanding goal in human genetics given their potential to detect association signals driven by allelic heterogeneity - when multiple causal variants modulate a phenotype - in both coding and noncoding regions. Recent scalable methods for inferring locus-specific genealogical trees along the genome, or representations thereof, have made substantial progress towards this goal; however, the problem of testing these trees for association with phenotypes has remained unsolved due to the growth in the number of clades with increasing sample size. To address this issue, we introduce several practical improvements to the kalis ancestry inference engine, including a general optimal checkpointing algorithm for decoding hidden Markov models, thereby enabling efficient genome-wide analyses.

Spatial data not only enables smart cities to visualize, analyze, and interpret data related to location and space, but also helps departments make more informed decisions. We apply a Bayesian quantile regression (BQR) of the partially linear varying coefficient spatial autoregressive (PLVCSAR) model for spatial data to improve the prediction of performance. It can be used to capture the response of covariates to linear and nonlinear effects at different quantile points.

The dependencies between characters used in phylogenetic analysis (e.g., inapplicabilities, functional dependencies) can be taken into account by using combinations of character states as possible ancestral morphotypes, and using appropriate rates of transformation between such morphotypes.

In poultry production, behavior is used to evaluate bird welfare and assess the impact of management practices. This research aims to improve scientific understanding of normal development of broiler behaviors during early-life by quantifying their behavioral expressions and diurnal rhythms. Broiler chicks (75, mixed-sex) were randomly placed on day-of-hatch into three pens (25 birds/pen) and three chicks per pen were selected as focal subjects.
