Application of Improved SMOTE and XGBoost Algorithm in the Analysis of Psychological Stress Test for College Students by Wei Du

“…Therefore, this paper applies the improved SMOTE method to the data preprocessing, which can reduce the difficulty of collecting psychological stress test data while ensuring the amount of data. Firstly, we extracted features from cell phone data to generate samples, processed the samples by SMOTE, and then filtered features by XGBoost algorithm to filter features; meanwhile, we trained RF, SVM, BP, and KNN with the data before and after sampling and before and after feature screening, and the results showed that Improved SMOTE + XGBoost outperformed other methods.…”

Discussion on the Theoretical Basis for Cross-Over Method Applied to Downhole Wave Velocity Test by Qing Dong, Zheng-hua Zhou, Su Jie, Bing Hao, Yuan-dong Li

“…At engineering practice, the theoretical basis for the cross-over method, used to obtain shear wave arrival time in the downhole method of the wave velocity test by surface forward and backward strike, is that the polarity of P-wave keeps the same, while the polarity of S-wave transforms when the direction of strike inverted. …”

Latencies of conditioned vocal responses to hearing test tones in killer whales (Orcinus orca) by Jared Stephens, Alyssa W. Accomando, Alyssa W. Accomando, Kayla Nease, Kayla Nease, Brian K. Branstetter, Brian K. Branstetter, Todd R. Robeck

“…Understanding the effect of sound frequency and level on perceived loudness would improve prediction and modeling of anthropogenic noise impacts on marine mammals.MethodsIn this study, behavioral hearing tests conducted with two killer whales were analyzed to capture conditioned vocal response latency, which is the time between the onset of the acoustic signal and the onset of the response (i.e., reaction time).ResultsThe results showed that vocal reaction times decreased with increasing sensation level (i.e., sound pressure level above the baseline hearing threshold), while the effect of frequency on reaction time varied between the subjects. …”
