Background: A core aspect of epidemiology is determining the impacts of potential public health interventions over time. With long follow-up periods, epidemiologists may need to consider semi-competin...
Capturing the structured mixing within a population is key to the reliable projection of infectious disease dynamics and hence informed control. Both heterogeneity in the number of contacts and age-st...
Mental health difficulties among elementary school students represent a growing public health concern in South Korea, yet analytical tools for identifying school-specific vulnerability patterns from i...
The ability to estimate and predict pathogen variant dynamics can inform public health responses, including planning for increased transmission or severity, shifts in population immunity, or changes t...
Outdoor air pollution is a major concern for the environment and public health, especially in areas where urbanization is taking place rapidly. The Indian Air Quality Index (IND-AQI), developed by the...
Progress in legal AI increasingly depends on access to authoritative legal text at scale. Yet one of the most consequential layers of American law remains largely absent from existing machine-readable...
Surface temperature is a fundamental Essential Climate Variable, serving as a primary indicator of climate change and exerting a profound influence on ecosystems, agriculture, and human livelihoods. A...
Since the year 2000, oceanic research has seen a surge in data collection, with approximately 500,000 sets of measurements for a single variable (e.g., temperature) recorded annually. Yet, further adv...
Recently, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released draft guidance \citep{FDA2026} signaling a paradigm shift that facilitates the use of Bayesian methodology as the primary analysis and de...
Online misinformation is one of the most challenging issues lately, yielding severe consequences, including political polarization, attacks on democracy, and public health risks. Misinformation manife...
Childhood asthma is a common illness exacerbated by air pollution as well as meteorological and neighborhood-level socioeconomic factors. Modeling asthma exacerbation (AE) in large spatiotemporal data...
Many materials create new habitats for microbial colonization and the persistence of potentially pathogenic bacteria. Despite this, comparative studies addressing the microbial diversity and pathogeni...
Urban air quality forecasting is challenging because pollutant concentrations are nonlinear, nonstationary, spatiotemporally dependent, and often affected by anomalous observations caused by traffic c...
The increase in pharmaceutical residues and environmental contaminants, including heavy metals and biotoxins, in coastal ecosystems represents a critical threat to global health. Mussels (Mytilus spp....
Identifying the causal effects of socioeconomic determinants on population health is of many great interests - from statistical methodology development to public health practitioners and policy develo...
Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic (CKM) syndrome represents a growing public health crisis, yet the subclinical heterogeneity of its component systems remains underexplored. Early detection of physiolog...
