Continuous clustered proportion data often arise in various areas of the social and political sciences where the response variable of interest is a proportion (or percentage). An example is the behavior of the proportion of voters favorable to a political party in municipalities (or cities) of a country over time. This behavior can be different depending on the region of the country, giving rise to groups (or clusters) with similar profiles. For this kind of data, we propose a finite mixture of a random effects regression model based on the L-Logistic distribution. A Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm is tailored to obtain posterior distributions of the unknown quantities of interest through a Bayesian approach. To illustrate the proposed method, with emphasis on analysis of clusters, we analyze the proportion of votes for a political party in presidential elections in different municipalities observed over time, and then identify groups according to electoral behavior at different levels of favorable votes.

The strain data acquired from structural health monitoring (SHM) systems of large-span bridges are often contaminated by a mixture of temperature-induced and vehicle-induced strain components, thereby complicating the assessment of bridge health. Existing approaches for isolating temperature-induced strains predominantly rely on statistical temperature-strain models, which can be significantly influenced by arbitrarily chosen parameters, thereby undermining the accuracy of the results. Additionally, signal processing techniques, including empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and others, frequently yield unstable outcomes when confronted with nonlinear strain signals.

Article Synopsis
- Predicting the growth of ascending aortic aneurysms (AscAA) is complex due to factors like aortic shape, tissue behavior, and blood flow.
- The study uses a flow-structural growth and remodeling (FSG) model to simulate AscAA growth, starting with an initial tissue injury and using blood flow data from simulations to guide the model.
- The findings suggest that adjusting model parameters, such as the direction of blood flow and tissue tension, significantly affects growth patterns, and this approach could be used for further patient-specific predictions in clinical settings.

Graphical models have been widely used to explicitly capture the statistical relationships among the variables of interest in the form of a graph. The central question in these models is to infer significant conditional dependencies or independencies from high-dimensional data. In the current literature, it is common to assume that the high-dimensional data come from a homogeneous source and follow a parametric graphical model.

Objective: The paper aims to address the problem of massive unlabeled patients in electronic health records (EHR) who potentially have undiagnosed diabetic retinopathy (DR). It is desired to estimate the actual DR prevalence in EHR with 96 % missing labels.
Materials And Methods: The Cerner Health Facts data are used in the study, with 3749 labeled DR patients and 97,876 unlabeled diabetic patients.
