This graph presents the results of a survey, conducted by BARC in 2014/15, into the current and planned use of technology for the analysis of big data. At the beginning of 2015, ** percent of respondents indicated that their company was already using a big data analytical appliance for big data.

The market for statistical analysis software is segmented by various factors, including:

The complete dataset used in the analysis comprises 36 samples, each described by 11 numeric features and 1 target. The attributes considered were caspase 3/7 activity, Mitotracker red CMXRos area and intensity (3 h and 24 h incubations with both compounds), Mitosox oxidation (3 h incubation with the referred compounds) and oxidation rate, DCFDA fluorescence (3 h and 24 h incubations with either compound) and oxidation rate, and DQ BSA hydrolysis. The target of each instance corresponds to one of the 9 possible classes (4 samples per class): Control, 6.25, 12.5, 25 and 50 µM for 6-OHDA and 0.03, 0.06, 0.125 and 0.25 µM for rotenone. The dataset is balanced, it does not contain any missing values and data was standardized across features. The small number of samples prevented a full and strong statistical analysis of the results. Nevertheless, it allowed the identification of relevant hidden patterns and trends.

Exploratory data analysis, information gain, hierarchical clustering, and supervised predictive modeling were performed using Orange Data Mining version 3.25.1 [41]. Hierarchical clustering was performed using the Euclidean distance metric and weighted linkage. Cluster maps were plotted to relate the features with higher mutual information (in rows) with instances (in columns), with the color of each cell representing the normalized level of a particular feature in a specific instance. The information is grouped both in rows and in columns by a two-way hierarchical clustering method using the Euclidean distances and average linkage. Stratified cross-validation was used to train the supervised decision tree. A set of preliminary empirical experiments were performed to choose the best parameters for each algorithm, and we verified that, within moderate variations, there were no significant changes in the outcome. The following settings were adopted for the decision tree algorithm: minimum number of samples in leaves: 2; minimum number of samples required to split an internal node: 5; stop splitting when majority reaches: 95%; criterion: gain ratio. The performance of the supervised model was assessed using accuracy, precision, recall, F-measure and area under the ROC curve (AUC) metrics.

In the last decade, a plethora of algorithms have been developed for spatial ecology studies. In our case, we use some of these codes for underwater research work in applied ecology analysis of threatened endemic fishes and their natural habitat. For this, we developed codes in Rstudio® script environment to run spatial and statistical analyses for ecological response and spatial distribution models (e.g., Hijmans & Elith, 2017; Den Burg et al., 2020). The employed R packages are as follows: caret (Kuhn et al., 2020), corrplot (Wei & Simko, 2017), devtools (Wickham, 2015), dismo (Hijmans & Elith, 2017), gbm (Freund & Schapire, 1997; Friedman, 2002), ggplot2 (Wickham et al., 2019), lattice (Sarkar, 2008), lattice (Musa & Mansor, 2021), maptools (Hijmans & Elith, 2017), modelmetrics (Hvitfeldt & Silge, 2021), pander (Wickham, 2015), plyr (Wickham & Wickham, 2015), pROC (Robin et al., 2011), raster (Hijmans & Elith, 2017), RColorBrewer (Neuwirth, 2014), Rcpp (Eddelbeuttel & Balamura, 2018), rgdal (Verzani, 2011), sdm (Naimi & Araujo, 2016), sf (e.g., Zainuddin, 2023), sp (Pebesma, 2020) and usethis (Gladstone, 2022).

It is important to follow all the codes in order to obtain results from the ecological response and spatial distribution models. In particular, for the ecological scenario, we selected the Generalized Linear Model (GLM) and for the geographic scenario we selected DOMAIN, also known as Gower's metric (Carpenter et al., 1993). We selected this regression method and this distance similarity metric because of its adequacy and robustness for studies with endemic or threatened species (e.g., Naoki et al., 2006). Next, we explain the statistical parameterization for the codes immersed in the GLM and DOMAIN running:

In the first instance, we generated the background points and extracted the values of the variables (Code2_Extract_values_DWp_SC.R). Barbet-Massin et al. (2012) recommend the use of 10,000 background points when using regression methods (e.g., Generalized Linear Model) or distance-based models (e.g., DOMAIN). However, we considered important some factors such as the extent of the area and the type of study species for the correct selection of the number of points (Pers. Obs.). Then, we extracted the values of predictor variables (e.g., bioclimatic, topographic, demographic, habitat) in function of presence and background points (e.g., Hijmans and Elith, 2017).

Subsequently, we subdivide both the presence and background point groups into 75% training data and 25% test data, each group, following the method of Soberón & Nakamura (2009) and Hijmans & Elith (2017). For a training control, the 10-fold (cross-validation) method is selected, where the response variable presence is assigned as a factor. In case that some other variable would be important for the study species, it should also be assigned as a factor (Kim, 2009).

After that, we ran the code for the GBM method (Gradient Boost Machine; Code3_GBM_Relative_contribution.R and Code4_Relative_contribution.R), where we obtained the relative contribution of the variables used in the model. We parameterized the code with a Gaussian distribution and cross iteration of 5,000 repetitions (e.g., Friedman, 2002; kim, 2009; Hijmans and Elith, 2017). In addition, we considered selecting a validation interval of 4 random training points (Personal test). The obtained plots were the partial dependence blocks, in function of each predictor variable.

Subsequently, the correlation of the variables is run by Pearson's method (Code5_Pearson_Correlation.R) to evaluate multicollinearity between variables (Guisan & Hofer, 2003). It is recommended to consider a bivariate correlation ± 0.70 to discard highly correlated variables (e.g., Awan et al., 2021).

Once the above codes were run, we uploaded the same subgroups (i.e., presence and background groups with 75% training and 25% testing) (Code6_Presence&backgrounds.R) for the GLM method code (Code7_GLM_model.R). Here, we first ran the GLM models per variable to obtain the p-significance value of each variable (alpha ≤ 0.05); we selected the value one (i.e., presence) as the likelihood factor. The generated models are of polynomial degree to obtain linear and quadratic response (e.g., Fielding and Bell, 1997; Allouche et al., 2006). From these results, we ran ecological response curve models, where the resulting plots included the probability of occurrence and values for continuous variables or categories for discrete variables. The points of the presence and background training group are also included.

On the other hand, a global GLM was also run, from which the generalized model is evaluated by means of a 2 x 2 contingency matrix, including both observed and predicted records. A representation of this is shown in Table 1 (adapted from Allouche et al., 2006). In this process we select an arbitrary boundary of 0.5 to obtain better modeling performance and avoid high percentage of bias in type I (omission) or II (commission) errors (e.g., Carpenter et al., 1993; Fielding and Bell, 1997; Allouche et al., 2006; Kim, 2009; Hijmans and Elith, 2017).

A represents true presence records (true positives), B represents false presence records (false positives - error of commission), C represents true background points (true negatives) and D represents false backgrounds (false negatives - errors of omission).

We then calculated the Overall and True Skill Statistics (TSS) metrics. The first is used to assess the proportion of correctly predicted cases, while the second metric assesses the prevalence of correctly predicted cases (Olden and Jackson, 2002). This metric also gives equal importance to the prevalence of presence prediction as to the random performance correction (Fielding and Bell, 1997; Allouche et al., 2006).

The last code (i.e., Code8_DOMAIN_SuitHab_model.R) is for species distribution modelling using the DOMAIN algorithm (Carpenter et al., 1993). Here, we loaded the variable stack and the presence and background group subdivided into 75% training and 25% test, each. We only included the presence training subset and the predictor variables stack in the calculation of the DOMAIN metric, as well as in the evaluation and validation of the model.

Regarding the model evaluation and estimation, we selected the following estimators:

1) partial ROC, which evaluates the approach between the curves of positive (i.e., correctly predicted presence) and negative (i.e., correctly predicted absence) cases. As farther apart these curves are, the model has a better prediction performance for the correct spatial distribution of the species (Manzanilla-Quiñones, 2020).

2) ROC/AUC curve for model validation, where an optimal performance threshold is estimated to have an expected confidence of 75% to 99% probability (De Long et al., 1988).

Many statistical tools have been developed to aid in the assessment of a numerical model’s quality at reproducing observations. Some of these techniques focus on the identification of events within the data set, times when the observed value is beyond some threshold value that defines it as a value of keen interest. An example of this is whether it will rain, in which events are defined as any precipitation above some defined amount. A method called the sliding threshold of observation for numeric evaluation (STONE) curve sweeps the event definition threshold of both the model output and the observations, resulting in the identification of threshold intervals for which the model does well at sorting the observations into events and nonevents. An excellent data-model comparison will have a smooth STONE curve, but the STONE curve can have wiggles and ripples in it. These features reveal clusters when the model systematically overestimates or underestimates the observations. This study establishes the connection between features in the STONE curve and attributes of the data-model relationship. The method is applied to a space weather example.

"Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) is one of the statistical methods most widely used in Administration, however, its current practice coexists with rules of thumb and heuristics given half a century ago. The purpose of this article is to present the best practices and recent recommendations for a typical EFA in Administration through a practical solution accessible to researchers. In this sense, in addition to discussing current practices versus recommended practices, a tutorial with real data on Factor is illustrated, a software that is still little known in the Administration area, but freeware, easy to use (point and click) and powerful. The step-by-step illustrated in the article, in addition to the discussions raised and an additional example, is also available in the format of tutorial videos. Through the proposed didactic methodology (article-tutorial + video-tutorial), we encourage researchers/methodologists who have mastered a particular technique to do the same. Specifically, about EFA, we hope that the presentation of the Factor software, as a first solution, can transcend the current outdated rules of thumb and heuristics, by making best practices accessible to Administration researchers"

This paper provides a review of three different advanced machine learning algorithms for anomaly detection in continuous data streams from a ground-test firing of a subscale Solid Rocket Motor (SRM). This study compares Orca, one-class support vector machines, and the Inductive Monitoring System (IMS) for anomaly detection on the data streams. We measure the performance of the algorithm with respect to the detection horizon for situations where fault information is available. These algorithms have been also studied by the present authors (and other co-authors) as applied to liquid propulsion systems. The trade space will be explored between these algorithms for both types of propulsion systems.

With the rapid development of data acquisition and storage space, massive datasets exhibited with large sample size emerge increasingly and make more advanced statistical tools urgently need. To accommodate such big volume in the analysis, a variety of methods have been proposed in the circumstances of complete or right censored survival data. However, existing development of big data methodology has not attended to interval-censored outcomes, which are ubiquitous in cross-sectional or periodical follow-up studies. In this work, we propose an easily implemented divide-and-combine approach for analyzing massive interval-censored survival data under the additive hazards model. We establish the asymptotic properties of the proposed estimator, including the consistency and asymptotic normality. In addition, the divide-and-combine estimator is shown to be asymptotically equivalent to the full-data-based estimator obtained from analyzing all data together. Simulation studies suggest that, relative to the full-data-based approach, the proposed divide-and-combine approach has desirable advantage in terms of computation time, making it more applicable to large-scale data analysis. An application to a set of interval-censored data also demonstrates the practical utility of the proposed method.
