New Approaches To Study Over-Coverage In Population Registers

Accurate values for population estimates are always a challenge and can be further burdened in scenarios with high migrant mobility. In these cases, bias emanating from over-coverage, i.e., resident individuals whose death or emigration is not registered, may result in ...

Addressing robustness in covariate-specific ROC curves

The Receiver Operating Characteristic curve (ROC curve) is a graphical tool that assesses the accuracy of a classification method based on a continuous random variables, usually known as the marker. Nowadays it is a well-accepted technique that reflects how well this cl...

Deep Learning for parameter estimation in reaction-diffusion PDEs for battery modeling

One of the key development areas in battery research is finding ways to use metallic anodes, like Zn and Mg, but avoiding lithium, which is pyrophoric and sourced only in potentially critical geopolitical areas. Unfortunately, use of post-Li batteries is impaired by poo...
