Introducing multiple factor analysis (MFA) as a diagnostic taxonomic tool complementing principal component analysis (PCA) by L. Lee Grismer

“…If more than one data type is used in a PCA, the output may be biased by the data type with the largest amount of variation or statistical variance. Also discussed is the necessity of using a non-parametric permutation of analysis of variance (PERMANOVA)—or a similar analysis—as a robust, statistically defensible method for assessing the significance of OTU plot positions as opposed to subjective visual interpretations.…”

Study on the Upper Limit of Roof Failure in Soft Rock Roadway by Jie Zhang, Shoushi Gao, Yifeng He, Tao Yang, Tong Li, Yihui Yan, Jianping Sun

“…Field investigations were conducted to assess the condition of roadway bolts, anchor cables, and the internal damage characteristics of the surrounding rock. The upper bound method of limit analysis in plastic mechanics was utilized to construct a failure model for the surrounding rock and derive the upper limit solution of roof failure by integrating the principle of virtual work and variational extremum theorem. …”

Similarities in the Low-Energy Elastic and Ps Formation Differential Cross-Sections for e⁺-H and e⁺-He Scattering by Peter Van Reeth, John W. Humberston

“…In the present work, the elastic scattering differential cross-sections (EDCSs) for e⁺-H and e⁺-He below the first excitation threshold of the target were evaluated using the Kohn variational method and found to be very similar. In both cases, the EDCS below the positronium formation threshold, i.e., for pure elastic scattering, had minimum valley features in which significant minima close to 90 degrees were found at ≈2.8 eV for H and ≈2 eV for He. …”

A Multi-Source Circular Geodesic Voting Model for Image Segmentation by Shuwang Zhou, Minglei Shu, Chong Di

“…While convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have achieved notable success by learning representative features from large datasets, they often lack geometric priors and global object information, limiting their accuracy in complex scenarios. Variational methods like active contours provide geometric priors and theoretical interpretability but require manual initialization and are sensitive to hyper-parameters. …”

A field theory representation of sum of powers of principal minors and physical applications by Morteza Nattagh Najafi, Abolfazl Ramezanpour, Mohammad Ali Rajabpour

“…We further develop three mean field techniques to approximate SPPM, each providing unique perspectives and utilities: the first method focuses on the evolution of symmetries post-mean field approximation, the second, based on the bosonic representation, enhances our understanding of the stability of mean field results, and the third employs a variational approach to establish a lower bound for SPPM. …”
