Background: High red meat consumption is a main modifiable risk factor for colorectal cancer mortality (CRC), but its attributable disease burden remains unclear in China. We aimed to analyze the temporal trends in CRC deaths and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) attributable to high red meat consumption in China from 1990 to 2021 and to predict the disease burden in the next 15 years.

Methods: Data was obtained from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 study.

Control charts are commonly used for process monitoring under the assumption that the variable of interest follows a normal distribution. However, this assumption is frequently violated in real-world applications. In this study, we develop an adaptive control chart based on the exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) statistic to monitor irregular variations in the mean of the Truncated Transmuted Burr-II (TTB-II) distribution, employing Hastings approximation for normalization.

Background: Large-scale diagnostic testing has been proven ineffective for prompt monitoring of the spread of COVID-19. Electronic resources may facilitate enhanced early detection of epidemics. Here, we aimed to retrospectively explore whether examining trends in the use of emergency and healthcare services and the Google search engine is useful in detecting Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus outbreaks early compared with the currently used swab-based surveillance system.

Many animals face significant challenges in locating and acquiring resources that are unevenly distributed in space and time. In the case of nonhuman primates, it remains unclear how individuals remember goal locations and whether they navigate using a route-based or a coordinate-based mental representation when moving between out-of-sight feeding and resting sites (i.e.

School of Mathematical & Statistical Sciences, University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, One West University Boulevard, Brownsville, TX, 78520, USA.

Background: Missing observations within the univariate time series are common in real-life and cause analytical problems in the flow of the analysis. Imputation of missing values is an inevitable step in every incomplete univariate time series. Most of the existing studies focus on comparing the distributions of imputed data.
