Credit card fraud detection through machine learning algorithm by Agyan Panda, Bharath Yadlapalli, Zhi Zhou

“…Designing fraud detection algorithms is particularly difficult because to the non-stationary distribution of data, excessively skewed class distributions, and continuous streams of transactions. …”

Convergence Analysis of the Preconditioned Group Splitting Methods in Boundary Value Problems by Norhashidah Hj. Mohd Ali, Abdulkafi Mohammed Saeed

“…The construction of a specific splitting-type preconditioner in block formulation applied to a class of group relaxation iterative methods derived from the centred and rotated (skewed) finite difference approximations has been shown to improve the convergence rates of these methods. …”

Structural and functional brain correlates of the neutrophil- and monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio in neuropsychiatric disorders by Roger McIntosh

“…Skews in the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR) increasingly demonstrate prognostic capability in a range of acute and chronic mental health conditions. …”

Dr. Andries Albertus Odendaal Snr., evangeliedraer in 'n multi-dimensionele konteks. 'n Kort historiese oorsig en sendingkundige evaluering van sy lewe en werk (Deel 1) by P. Robinson

“…The advantage of such an autobiographical approach is that it unlocks valuable information, which would otherwise be passed unnoticed, leaving an incomplete if not skewed portrayal of some developments in the past. …”

A manifesto for a globally diverse, equitable, and inclusive open science by Sakshi Ghai, Rémi Thériault, Patrick Forscher, Yuichi Shoda, Moin Syed, Arathy Puthillam, Hu Chuan Peng, Dana Basnight-Brown, Asifa Majid, Flavio Azevedo, Leher Singh

“…In this Perspective, we raise the spectre of Questionable Generalisability Practices and the issue of MASKing (Making Assumptions based on Skewed Knowledge), calling for more responsible practices in generalising study findings and co-authorship to promote global equity in knowledge production. …”

Transcriptome and DNA methylation profiling during the NSN to SN transition in mouse oocytes by Hannah Demond, Soumen Khan, Juan Castillo-Fernandez, Courtney W. Hanna, Gavin Kelsey

“…The classifier was successfully tested in multiple published datasets of mouse models with a known skew in NSN: SN ratios. Analysis of the scBS-seq data showed increased DNA methylation in SN compared to NSN oocytes, which was most pronounced in regions with intermediate levels of methylation. …”

Vortex-Induced Vibration Suppression of a Circular Cylinder with Vortex Generators by Shi-bo Tao, Ai-ping Tang, Da-bo Xin, Ke-tong Liu, Hong-fu Zhang

“…Vortex generator control can make the boundary layer profile fuller and hence more resistant to separation. The selections of skew angles and the angular position have a significant influence on the vortex generator control effect. …”

Depth-Based Classification for Distributions with Nonconvex Support by Daniel Hlubinka, Ondrej Vencalek

“…The data depth approach is used instead of the linear discriminant analysis mostly to avoid the parametric assumptions and to get better classifier for data whose distribution is not elliptically symmetric, for example, skewed data. In our paper, we suggest to use weighted version of halfspace depth rather than the halfspace depth itself in order to obtain lower misclassification rate in the case of “nonconvex” distributions. …”

Megaureter by Steve J. Hodges, David Werle, Gordon McLorie, Anthony Atala

“…However, not all megaureters are due to obstruction, as some may be the result of reflux and many simply represent a slightly skewed stage of development that can result in a normal urinary tract if observed. …”

Neo-Characterization in the Neo-Victorian Novel by Georges LETISSIER

“…Hopefully, this cursory, panoramic overview might shed some light on the centrality of character (character-building, -skewing, -bending, -sapping and so forth) in operating a shift from Victorian characterization to what may be designated as neo-Victorian neo-characterization; i.e. a renewed return to a familiar novelistic cast. …”

Improved method of step length estimation based on inverted pendulum model by Qi Zhao, Boxue Zhang, Jingjing Wang, Wenquan Feng, Wenyan Jia, Mingui Sun

“…The empirical mode decomposition is used to remove the zero- and first-order skew effects resulting from an integration process. …”

Static Magnetic Field Accelerates Diabetic Wound Healing by Facilitating Resolution of Inflammation by Wenlong Shang, Guilin Chen, Yinxiu Li, Yujuan Zhuo, Yuhong Wang, Zhicai Fang, Ying Yu, Huiwen Ren

“…Notably, SMF promoted the wound healing by skewing the macrophage polarization towards M2 phenotype, thus facilitating the resolution of inflammation. …”

Least-Norm of the General Solution to Some System of Quaternion Matrix Equations and Its Determinantal Representations by Abdur Rehman, Ivan Kyrchei, Muhammad Akram, Ilyas Ali, Abdul Shakoor

“…We constitute some necessary and sufficient conditions for the system A1X1=C1, X1B1=C2, A2X2=C3, X2B2=C4, A3X1B3+A4X2B4=Cc, to have a solution over the quaternion skew field in this paper. A novel expression of general solution to this system is also established when it has a solution. …”

Homopteran Attendance by Wasps and Ants: The Stochastic Nature of Interactions by Deborah K. Letourneau, Jae C. Choe

“…The extensive body of literature, however, tends to be skewed to the interactions between ants and homopteran trophobionts in the Aphidae or Coccoidea (e.g., Kloft et al. 1965, Nixon 1951, Way 1963, Wilson 1971). …”

Robust Command Filtered Adaptive Backstepping Control for a Quadrotor Aircraft by Yicheng Liu, Junhui Ma, Haiyan Tu

“…Furthermore, adaptive compensation and robust compensation are introduced to deal with the uncertainty of the inertia parameters and the external bounded disturbances, respectively. Finally, a similar skew symmetric structure is chosen as the desired structure of the closed-loop system to facilitate the analysis of the stability of the integrated system. …”

Research on Overconfidence in Decision-Making for the Capacity Recovery of Damaged Power Systems by Xing Bao

Confidence Interval Estimation of an ROC Curve: An Application of Generalized Half Normal and Weibull Distributions by S. Balaswamy, R. Vishnu Vardhan

All-angle unidirectional flat-band acoustic metasurfaces by Chenglin Han, Shida Fan, Hong-Tao Zhou, Kuan He, Yurou Jia, Changyou Li, Hongzhu Li, Xiao-Dong Yang, Li-Qun Chen, Tianzhi Yang, Cheng-Wei Qiu

“…Here, we report an acoustic flat-band metasurface, allowing not only unidirectional canalization at all in-plane angles but also robust tunability in band alignment. The twist, tilt, and skew angles of the bilayer metasurface can be flexibly controlled to break both in-plane and out-of-plane spatial symmetries. …”
