MISSINGNESS ADAPTED GROUP INFORMED CLUSTERED (MAGIC)-LASSO: A NOVEL PARADIGM FOR PHENOTYPE PREDICTION TO IMPROVE POWER FOR GENETIC LOCI DISCOVERY

Missingness adapted group informed clustered (MAGIC)-LASSO: a novel paradigm for phenotype prediction to improve power for genetic loci discovery

Introduction: The availability of large-scale biobanks linking genetic data, rich phenotypes, and biological measures is a powerful opportunity for scientific discovery.However, real-world collections frequently have extensive missingness.While missing data prediction is possible, performance is significantly impaired by block-wise missingness inhe

Temperature Effects on the HOPG Intercalation Process

Graphite intercalation via chemical strategies is a common procedure to delaminate stratified crystals and obtain a suspension of graphene flakes.The intercalation mechanism at the molecular level is still under Wall Self investigation in view of enhancing graphene production and reducing damage to the original pristine crystal.The latter, in parti
