Artificial intelligence allowing data-driven prediction of physicochemical properties of polymers is rapidly emerging as a powerful tool for advancing material science. Here, we developed a methodology to use polymer adsorption data as predictable data by analyzing causal relationships between polymer properties and experimental results instead of using big polymer data.

Social distancing, along with intensive testing and contact tracing, has been considered an effective vehicle to reduce new infections. In this study, we aimed to estimate the effect of South Korean public health measures on behavioral changes with respect to social distancing without a nationwide lockdown.

Nested case-control sampling design is a popular method in a cohort study whose events are often rare. The controls are randomly selected with or without the matching variable fully observed across all cohort samples to control confounding factors. In this article, we propose a new nested case-control sampling design incorporating both extreme case-control design and a resampling technique.

Motivated by real data collected in South Sudan, we consider correlation coefficient estimation with singly truncated bivariate data. By considering a linear regression model in which a truncated variable is used as an explanatory variable, a consistent estimator for the regression slope can be obtained from the ordinary least squares method.
