Coffea canephora is one of the most commercially relevant species, which can be divided into the varietal groups Conilon and Robusta. These varietal groups have complementary agronomic interests. Therefore, hybrids are obtained through crosses between these groups. Given the difficulty in differentiating the two varietal groups of genotypes in the field, the correct discrimination is essential for the definition of crosses in breeding programs. In this context, the present work aimed to apply a discriminant analysis (DA) to define functions to differentiate between varietal groups and hybrids of C. canephora, and identify the most relevant phenotypic traits in these functions. Data from 165 genotypes from the Instituto Capixaba de Pesquisa, Assistência Técnica e Extensão Rural e do Centro Agronómico Tropical de Investigación y Enseñanza were used to measure different plant traits. It was applied the quadratic DA with the best performance for genotype discrimination, with an average apparent error rate of 0.0364. Cercosporiose incidence, rust incidence, vegetative vigor, plant height and diameter of the canopy projection were the most important traits in the varietal groups' discrimination.","PeriodicalId":36293,"journal":{"name":"Revista Brasileira de Biometria","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77983738","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Batista","doi":"10.28951/RBB.V39I1.524","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.28951/RBB.V39I1.524","url":null,"abstract":"A spatial point pattern is a collection of points irregularly located within a bounded area (2D) or space (3D) that have been generated by some form of stochastic mechanism. Examples of point patterns include locations of trees in a forest, of cases of a disease in a region, or of particles in a microscopic section of a composite material. Spatial Point pattern analysis is used mostly to determine the absence (completely spatial randomness) or presence (regularity and clustering) of spatial dependence structure of the locations. Methods based on the space domain are widely used for this purpose, while methods conducted in the frequency domain (spectral analysis) are still unknown to most researchers. Spectral analysis is a powerful tool to investigate spatial point patterns, since it does not assume any structural characteristics of the data (ex. isotropy), and uses only the autocovariance function, and its Fourier transform. There are some methods based on the spectral frameworks for analyzing 2D spatial point patterns. There is no such methods available for the 3D situation and, therefore, the aim of this work is to develop new methods based on spectral framework for the analysis of three-dimensional point patterns. The emphasis is on relating periodogram structure to the type of stochastic process which could have generated a 3D observed pattern. The results show that the methods based on spectral analysis developed in this work are able to identify patterns of three typical three-dimensional point processes, and can be used, concurrently, with analyzes in the space domain for a better characterization of spatial point patterns.","PeriodicalId":36293,"journal":{"name":"Revista Brasileira de Biometria","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82688294","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Studies indicate multiple factors contributing to CFS development: poor sleep, dehydration, psychological stress, hormonal dysfunction, nutrient deficiencies, among others. In risk work conditions, like the shift work of mines, CFS significantly increases the chance of fatal accidents. Work environments of mines suggest the presence of factors that increase the risk of developing CFS. Considering the severity/implications of CFS’s symptoms on the social and professional lives as well as on the economy, efforts are targeting its characterization and prevention. This study aims to assess the risk of CFS by studying cross-sectional data on absenteeism of 621 shift workers, measuring 8 anthropometric and 11 biochemical variables as well as age and gender, amounting 21 variables. After imputation, logistic regression was fitted by Stepwise selection, Lasso and Elastic-Net regularization. Results suggest that the models do not discriminate very well due to noise inherent to the dependent variable. However, all models agree on the effects of Sodium and Total Cholesterol on the risk of absenteeism. The Stepwise model also indicates LDL and Triglycerides as significant factors, both Lasso and Elastic-Net show effects for LDL instead. The Elastic-Net model suggests an effect of Potassium, though inconclusive according to the literature.","PeriodicalId":36293,"journal":{"name":"Revista Brasileira de Biometria","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82822800","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We develop residual analysis to assess model fit by introducing randomized quantile residuals for items. The data used to illustrate the method comes from 228 people who took a selective attention test. The test has 20 blocks (items), with a time limit of 15 seconds for each block. The results of the residual analysis of the RPC were promising and indicated that the studied attention data are not well fitted by the RPC model.","PeriodicalId":36293,"journal":{"name":"Revista Brasileira de Biometria","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76449148","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such techniques have the learning capacity that occurs during an iterative process of model fitting. Multilayer perceptron (MLP) is one of the first networks that emerged and, for this architecture, backpropagation and its modifications are widely used learning algorithms. In this article, the learning of the MLP neural network was approached from the Bayesian perspective by using Monte Carlo via Markov Chains (MCMC) simulations. The MLP architecture consists of the input, hidden and output layers. In the structure, there are several weights that connect each neuron in each layer. The input layer is composed of the covariates of the model. In the hidden layer there are activation functions. In the output layer, there are the result which is compared with the observed value and the loss function is calculated. We analyzed the network learning through simulated data of known weights in order to understand the estimation by the Bayesian method. Subsequently, we predicted the price of WTI oil and obtained a credibility interval for the forecasts. We provide an R implementation and the datasets as supplementary materials.","PeriodicalId":36293,"journal":{"name":"Revista Brasileira de Biometria","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83828882","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this game, players form a team of five and assume the role of a ”champion” (characters with unique abilities) generally varying around a type of class, and battle against a team of player (or computer-controlled champions). A recurring problem is to balance these champions, that is, to leave the game as honest as possible, so that only the player’s ability will be a decisive factor for the victory. The aim of this work is to perform statistical analysis of the win rates of four champions of the tenth season of the Lol game mode ”Wild Rift”, doing control of the pachs.

The information used was from the Integrated Emergency Trauma Care System and collected through the General Occurrence Registry (RGO) of the Fire Department of Londrina. For this study, accidents were selected in the collision category between vehicle drivers and motorized drivers. The study variables were the most frequent months and the accident codes defined by Integrated Trauma Emergency Service (SIATE). The article aimed to analyze the occurrences (collision) of vehicle drivers in 2019, seeking to make the population aware of accident prevention. The methodology adopted was descriptive, quantitative, obtained intentionally. The results show that these categories of drivers are responsible for more than 50% of the total accidents and more than 60% of the fatal victims. According to the results obtained, it is expected that the authorities may be sensitized, adopting measures that lead those responsible to more rigorous sanctions, thus making drivers aware of having greater responsibility when driving a vehicle, emphasizing that they need to redouble their attention and have responsibility in traffic, avoiding negligence and damage to the lives of others.","PeriodicalId":36293,"journal":{"name":"Revista Brasileira de Biometria","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84020235","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Researchers and manufacturers have been searching for techniques with the objective of making full use of these forests, with a primary focus on greater growth. A modeling of growth curves is an alternative for the estimation of floral production and an important aid tool for the researcher’s decision making. Growth curves are commonly studied by nonlinear regression models, which have important assumptions that if not met should be added to the model. The present work aims to select among nonlinear Logistic, Gompertz and von Bertalanffy regression models the most suitable to describe the growth in wood volume of Eucalyptus urophylla x Eucalyptus grandis hybrids in three Forest Site categories, including whether assumption deviations are required. Methods were executed by the Gauss-Newton iterative method implemented in nls() and it gnls() functions of the R software. Determination coefficient, Akaike information criterion (AICc) and Residual Standard Deviation (RSD) were used as selection evaluators of the best model. The results demonstrate that for all site categories, the Gompertz model with addition of autoregressive parameters AR (1) is the most appropriate to describe the growth in wood volume of Eucalyptus urophylla x Eucalyptus grandis hybrids. The addition of the first-order autoregressive parameter does not affect the quality of fit, but it is the correct procedure. Site I, which presents the largest trees according to pre-defined variations, recorded 308 m/ha of wood volume, followed by 286 m/ha and 263 m/ha for Sites II and III, respectively. The time for Site III to reach the maximum point of volume growth is between the fourth and sixth year, while the other sites are more precocious, reaching this point between the second and third year. 1Universidade Federal de Lavras UFLA, Instituto de Ciências Exatas e Tecnológicas, Departamento de Estat́ıstica, CEP: 37200-900, Lavras, MG, Brasil.

The Petrobras Index refers to Petrobras quotations on the São Paulo Stock Exchange (Bovespa). In view of the expressiveness of these indices, the objective of this work will be to perform a univariate and multivariate temporal analysis of the series of returns of Petrobrás and Ibovespa in two periods. The first period is comprised between 2005 and 2015, while the second between 2015 and 2019. This division was intended to divide the pre and post crisis periods in the face of complaints of corruption against Petrobras, which caused a greater variation in liquidity in the company's shares. The survey is ongoing and only the analysis of the first period is complete. The series data were taken from the IPEADATA website (ipeadata.gov.br), then deflated, and then their returns were calculated using software R. This is done in two steps. In the first, the data are modeled using the ARIMA model, and in the second, the GARCH is fitted to the squared residues. For the Bovespa index series, an ARIMA (3.0.3) and then GARCH (1.1) were fitted. For the Petrobras series of returns, first, an incomplete ARMA was fittted with the autoregressive parameters of significant order 6 and the order 3 of moving averages also statistically significant. The volatility, in this case, was also fitted by a GARCH (1.1). The rates of the two returns were useful. A multivariate analysis indicated that, during the analyzed lag period, the Petrobras index did not directly influence the Bovespa index, although in the analyzed period it was chosen before the denunciation and corruption scandal. After analyzing the second period, a comparison will be made between the fits.","PeriodicalId":36293,"journal":{"name":"Revista Brasileira de Biometria","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78187189","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analysis of coronavirus (COVID-19) databases are used as to show simple, but powerful statistical frameworks. We do believe that models for assessing future trends in temporal data in general, and in cases and/or deaths of COVID-19, belongs to the area of (Bio)Statistics. Just as engineers use knowledge of physics, chemistry and often architecture, when constructing bridges, buildings and roads, statisticians use knowledge of mathematics, computer science and even physics for modelling, analysing, and forecasting in order to transform data into information. While the statistician’s contribution is rarely acknowledged, everyone knows that a building is a work of an engineer. Nonetheless, nowadays statistics has been gaining the attention that it deserves due to the rise of big data and data science that was built on the foundations of statistics. This article shows that, even with only basic knowledge of statistics, one can adequately collaborate with the community in dealing with very important issues such as the COVID-19 numbers. In order to model and to obtain predictions we use well-known distributions to statisticians working on survival analysis: gamma, Weibull and log-normal distributions. We also make use of singular spectrum analysis, a simple non-parametric time series methodology, for an analogous purpose. Survival analysis is a research area widely used in Biostatistics and even in Reliability, while time series analysis is widely used across areas where the data is measured along the time.","PeriodicalId":36293,"journal":{"name":"Revista Brasileira de Biometria","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74660128","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
