VARX Granger analysis: Models for neuroscience, physiology, sociology and econometrics. by Lucas C Parra, Aimar Silvan, Maximilian Nentwich, Jens Madsen, Vera E Parra, Behtash Babadi

“…Here, we bridge this gap by providing fundamental equations, user-friendly code, and demonstrations using simulated and real-world data from neuroscience, physiology, sociology, and economics. Our examples illustrate how the model avoids spurious correlation by factoring out external influences from internal dynamics, leading to more parsimonious explanations of these systems. …”

Les exemples dans le discours pédagogique : étude expérimentale des impacts cognitifs et motivationnels sur les étudiants by Gilles Fossion, Ariane Baye

“…Next, each group was exposed to a second video where a specific example was used to illustrate the theoretical concept. Cognitive and motivational impacts have been measured via questionnaires submitted after the videos.Our results suggest that using examples had a significant effect on comprehension, memorization and motivation compared with the use of a theoretical concept only. …”

Analysis of freezing and thawing processes in clay with freeze-induced compression (FIC) model by Satoshi Nishimura, Mingxuan Liang, Chuangxin Lyu

“…The elasto-plastic model for frozen/unfrozen states was reappraised and re-formulated such that all parameter values could be determined from conventional frozen/unfrozen tests. This paper illustrates the model/module implementation, as well as its effectiveness in describing both slow frost heave tests and fast repeated freeze–thaw cyclic tests. …”
