Pure additive contribution of genetic variants to a risk prediction model using propensity score matching: application to type 2 diabetes by Chanwoo Park, Nan Jiang, Taesung Park

“…In this article, we propose a method that uses propensity score matching to avoid underestimation by matching case and control samples, thereby determining the pure additive contribution of SNPs. To illustrate the proposed propensity score matching method, we used SNP data from the Korea Association Resources project and reported SNPs from the genome-wide association study catalog. …”

A Novel Mathematical Model for Fracturing Effect Evaluation Based on Early Flowback Data in Shale Oil Reservoirs by Yuhan Wang, Zhengdong Lei, Zhenhua Xu, Jie Liu, Xiaokun Zhang, Erhui Luo, Yuqi Liu, Pengcheng Liu

“…In this model, the expansion of the fluid and the closure of the fracture are defined as integrated storage coefficients to characterize the storage capacity of the fracture system. Then, the curves illustrating the relationships between the oil-water ratio and the cumulative oil production and between the gas-water ratio and the cumulative gas production are drawn, and the curves are used to divide the flowback stage into an early stage and a late stage because the flowback process of shale oil wells exhibits obvious stage characteristics. …”
