The BAMBOO method for correcting batch effects in high throughput proximity extension assays for proteomic studies by H. M. Smits, E. M. Delemarre, A. Pandit, A. H. Schoneveld, B. Oldenburg, F. van Wijk, S. Nierkens, J. Drylewicz

“…Simulations comparing BAMBOO with established correction techniques (median centering, median of the difference (MOD), and ComBat) revealed that median centering and ComBat were significantly impacted by outliers within the BCs, whereas BAMBOO and MOD were more robust when no plate-wide effects were introduced. Optimal batch correction was achieved with 10–12 BCs. …”

Spatio-temporal modelling of extreme low birth rates in U.S. counties by Kai Wang, Yingqing Zhang, Long Bai, Ying Chen, Chengxiu Ling

“…The innovative Bayesian generalized Pareto (GP) quantile regression model is employed for analysing the spatiotemporal pattern of stressful low birth rate and its association with socioeconomic, demographic, and meteorological factors. The optimal stochastic partial differential equation and autoregressive model of order one (SPDE-AR(1)) spatiotemporal structured model is selected based on common Bayesian criteria and scaled threshold weighted continuous ranked probability score, indicating apparent spatial unbalance and deteriorating tendency of falling birth rate. …”
