Bootstrap is a simple, yet powerful method of estimation based on the concept of random sampling with replacement. The ridge regression using a biasing parameter has become a viable alternative to the ordinary least square regression model for the analysis of data where predictors are collinear. This paper develops a nonparametric bootstrap-quantile approach for the estimation of ridge parameter in the linear regression model. The proposed method is illustrated using some popular and widely used ridge estimators, but this idea can be extended to any ridge estimator. Monte Carlo simulations are carried out to compare the performance of the proposed estimators with their baseline counterparts. It is demonstrated empirically that MSE obtained from our suggested bootstrap-quantile approach are substantially smaller than their baseline estimators especially when collinearity is high. Application to real data sets reveals the suitability of the idea.

Rapid validation of newly predicted materials through autonomous synthesis requires real-time adaptive control methods that exploit physics knowledge, a capability that is lacking in most systems. Here, we demonstrate an approach to enable real-time control of thin film synthesis by combining optical diagnostics with a Bayesian state estimation method. We developed a physical model for film growth and applied the direct filter (DF) method for real-time estimation of nucleation and growth rates during pulsed laser deposition (PLD).

This study presents an investigation into the natural radioactivity levels of U, Th, and K using a thallium-doped sodium iodide (NaI(TI)) detector and associated radiological hazards in river sediments, specifically sand, which serves as a crucial building material in the KwaZulu-Natal Province of South Africa. The assessment aims to provide insights into potential radiological risks posed by the utilization of these sediments in construction activities. The mean activity concentrations of U, Th, and K are 145.

Neutron-Transformer Reflectometry Advanced Computation Engine (), a neural network model using a transformer architecture, is introduced for neutron reflectometry data analysis. It offers fast, accurate initial parameter estimations and efficient refinements, improving efficiency and precision for real-time data analysis of lithium-mediated nitrogen reduction for electrochemical ammonia synthesis, with relevance to other chemical transformations and batteries. Despite limitations in generalizing across systems, it shows promises for the use of transformers as the basis for models that could accelerate traditional approaches to modeling reflectometry data.

Goats are essential to the dairy industry in Shaanxi, China, with udder traits playing a critical role in determining milk production and economic value for breeding programs. However, the direct measurement of these traits in dairy goats is challenging and resource-intensive. This study leveraged genotyping imputation to explore the genetic parameters and architecture of udder traits and assess the efficiency of genomic prediction methods.
