Double Cost Sensitive Random Forest Algorithm by ZHOU Yan-long, SUN Guang-lu

“…In the feature selection stage, the method of generating cost vector with lower time complexity is proposed, and the cost vector is introduced into the calculation of split attributes, so that it can select s廿ong features more tendentiously without destroying the randomness of random forest; in the integration stage, the misclassification price is introduced to select the decision l:J·ee set which is more sensitive to a few types of data. …”

A simplified system for the detection of antennal responses to host-borne volatile organic compounds in sand flies by Onofrio Marco Pistillo, Priscilla Farina, Marcos Antonio Bezerra-Santos, Ilaria D’Isita, Petr Volf, Domenico Otranto, Giovanni Benelli, Giacinto Salvatore Germinara

“…Conclusions This simplified GC–MS-EAD system shows promise for broader application in the study of host–vector interactions. Its use across different host–vector pairs may enhance our understanding of these relationships and inform the development of strategies for integrated vector monitoring and control. …”
