Patient features for COVID Study The  COVID outbreak resulted  and provides a unique opportunity to gain insight into epidemiology  dynamics.   Given the well documented CVN-71 context:    856 tested positive as of 24-April-2020   :     Roughly 60 percent of the over 600 sailors who tested positive so far   have not shown symptoms of COVID-19, the potentially lethal   respiratory disease caused by the coronavirus, the Navy says. The   service did not speculate about how many might later develop symptoms   or remain asymptomatic.   If a modified  Goal => Question => Feature was applied to the Roosevelt population, where the goal is to understand the correlation between patient feature and likelihood of asymptomatic infection, what would features would be of interest?  For example:   Gender Age  Race Blood type height &amp; weight   Although features are appreciated, a narrative featuring a sound thought-process will be favored.
How can one predict whether an individual infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus will be asymptomatic? According to  , half of the   virus carriers show no symptoms.   What are the biological factors that determine whether an infected individual will be asymptomatic or not?
"Not possible" and "Impossible" When we say,      It is not fair.   or     It is unfair.   I'm not sure enough to say whether both of the sentences have the same meaning or not though superficially, there is no difference between them but if we say,     Something is not possible.   or     Something is impossible.   then there is really an observable difference in my first language. Hence, the question - is there a difference between the preceding two sentences in English? How to get a vertical bar which is longer than \mid ? sometimes when writing mathematical expression with partial derivatives, one needs to write a vertical bar afterwards and write the value at the which the partial derivatives are being computed as subscripts. See for example the bottom post here:    However, the \mid symbol doesn't produce a tall bar that corresponds to the size of the partial derivatives term. Is there a way to have a taller bar?   PS: Some other posts here mention \middle| but this doesn't compile on my computer.  Thanks in advance.... I have a time series that shows a nonstationary seasonal autoregressive component as well as known heteroshedasticity. In order to model the series, I have fit a seasonal ARIMA model for the mean with the auto.arima model in the forecast package in R and a GARCH model on the residuals of the ARIMA model.   Is the procedure of sequentially estimating ARIMA and GARCH model correct or would it have been better to jointly model the mean and the variance of the series? If this were correct, is there a (possibly R) function to do it? I am trying to grab the capital letters of a couple of words and wrap them in span tags. I am using  for extract and wrapping purposes, but it's not outputting anything.  preg_replace("/[A-Z]/", "&lt;span class=\"initial\"&gt;$1&lt;/span&gt;", $str) A clock near the surface of the earth will run slower than one on the top of the mountain.  If the equivalence principal tells us that being at rest in a gravitational field is equivalent to being in an accelerated frame of reference in free space, shouldn't the clock near the earth run increasingly slower than the other clock over time?  If those two clocks are considered to be in two different frames of acceleration, the one near the earth will have a greater acceleration than the one on the mountain, and thus over time, their relative velocity will increase over time which will increase the time dilation.  Or is this not a proper use of the equivalence principle? Using \@-ified punctuation while using \frenchspacing After reading  about spacing and punctuation, I was left wondering about an issue that didn't seem to be addressed: using \frenchspacing together with the modified punctuation \@., \@?, etc.  As far as I can tell visually, using \frenchspacing together with these commands works correctly (i.e., it seems like nothing breaks, and the extra space is suppressed as normal), but are there problems that can arise from doing so?   Moreover, when using \frenchspacing, "should" I still use \@. and its friends where it would ordinarily be necessary, in case someone wants to remove \frenchspacing later? Would accommodating (hypothetical) future editors in this way be "standard", "above and beyond the call of duty", or "crazy"? Every season near the trade deadline, we see teams that are out of it trading expensive players and/or free agents-to-be, typically for younger players or prospects.  For example, Matt Garza, set to become a free agent after the season, was traded to the Rangers for a few prospects.  It made sense for the Cubs to trade Garza, because he wasn't under contract any further than this season, and thus doesn't have much value to them.  Compare Garza to someone like Mike Trout, who is likely the most valuable property in baseball, given his skill and inexpensive cost over the next several years.  There's no way the Angels would trade him, because he'll be the cost-controlled centerpiece of the team for years to come.  However, with the Angels out of it this year, what if they wanted to trade Trout to a contender (say the Pirates), but only for the remainder of this season?  That is, they'd get several top prospects now, and would have an agreement with the Pirates that they'd trade him back in the offseason (for something pretty worthless, say for a journeyman minor leaguer).  The Pirates get Trout for the stretch run and are happy to give up a few prospects.  Trout doesn't have much value to the Angels this year, but he has a ton of value for next year.  So they get a few prospects for him, in exchange for the part of his career which has very little value to them.  So in effect, the Pirates are renting or borrowing him for the remainder of 2013.  Why don't trades like this happen?  Are there any rules prohibiting trades like this? Back transforming regression results when modeling log(y) I'm fitting a regression on the $\log(y)$.  Is it valid to back transform point estimates (and confidence/prediction intervals) by exponentiation?  I don't believe so, since $E[f(X)] \ne f(E[X])$ but wanted other's opinions.  My example below shows conflicts with back transforming (.239 vs .219).  set.seed(123)  a=-5 b=2  x=runif(100,0,1) y=exp(a*x+b+rnorm(100,0,.2)) # plot(x,y)  ### NLS Fit f &lt;- function(x,a,b) {exp(a*x+b)}  fit &lt;- nls(y ~ exp(a*x+b),  start = c(a=-10, b=15))  co=coef(fit) # curve(f(x=x, a=co[1], b=co[2]), add = TRUE,col=2,lwd=1.2)  predict(fit,newdata=data.frame(x=.7)) [1] 0.2393773  ### LM Fit # plot(x,log(y)) # abline(lm(log(y)~x),col=2) fit=lm(log(y)~x) temp=predict(fit,newdata=data.frame(x=.7),interval='prediction') exp(temp)         fit       lwr       upr 1 0.2199471 0.1492762 0.3240752 Get terms that contain posts that in turn belong to other terms? So I have custom taxonomy called "shape" and another one called "color". If I want to get the list terms under shape that contain posts that are also present in terms under color, how do I do that?   Example, I have a post under custom post type toy called Ball which is present in both shape Circle and color Red. I want to retrieve the term name Circle via $wpdb query. I'd like to emphasize that I want to retrieve the list of terms and not the posts. How do I detect the direction of 2D rectangular object collisions? To be honest, I have no idea how to even start this problem. I'm sorry I don't have any work to show, but I'm just at a blank. Help?  Chapter 2: Problem 27:  University B, once boasted $17$ tenured professors of mathematics. Tradition prescribed that at their weekly luncheon meeting, faithfully attended by all $17$, any members who had discovered an error in their published work should make an announcement of this fact, and promptly resign. Such an announcement had never actually been made, because no professor was aware of any errors in her or his work. This is not to say that no errors existed, however. In fact, over the years, in the work of every member of the department at least one error had been found, by some other member of the department. This error had been mentioned to all other members of the department, but the actual author of the error had been kept ignorant of the fact, to forestall any resignations. One fateful year, the department was augmented by a visitor from another university, one Prof. X, who had come with hopes of being offered a permanent position at the end of the academic year. Naturally, he was apprised, by various members of the department, of the published errors which had been discovered. When the hoped-for appointment failed to materialize, Prof. X obtained his revenge at the last luncheon of the year. &quot;I have enjoyed my visit here very much&quot;, he said, &quot;but I feel that there is one thing that I have to tell you. At least one of you has published an incorrect result, which has been discovered by others in the department.&quot; What happened the next year?&quot;   Chapter 2: Problem 28:  After figuring out, or looking up, the answer to Problem 27, consider the following: Each member of the department already knew that Prof.X asserted, so how could his saying it change anything? Regular Expression Uppercase Replacement in C# I have the following C# which simply replaces parts of the input string that look like EQUIP:19d005 into URLs, like this:  input = Regex.Replace(input, @"(EQUIP:)(\S+)", @"&lt;a title=""View equipment item $2"" href=""/EquipmentDisplay.asp?eqnum=$2""&gt;$1$2&lt;/a&gt;", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);   The HTML ends up looking like this.  &lt;a title="View equipment item 19d005" href="/EquipmentDisplay.asp?eqnum=19d005"&gt;EQUIP:19d005&lt;/a&gt;   The only trouble is that the destination page expects the eqnum querystring to be all UPPERCASE so it returns the correct equipment when eqnum=19D005 but fails if it receives eqnum=19d005.  I guess I can modify and correct EquipmentDisplay.asp's errant requirement of uppercase values however, if possible I'd like to make the C# code comply with the existing classic ASP page by uppercasing the $2 in the Regex.Replace statement above.  Ideally, I'd like the HTML returned to look like this:  &lt;a title="View equipment item 19d005" href="/EquipmentDisplay.asp?eqnum=19D005"&gt;EQUIP:19d005&lt;/a&gt;   Notice although the original string was EQUIP:19d005 (lowercase), only the eqnum= value is uppercased.  Can it be done and if so, what's the tidiest way to do it? Message appearing when a user was removed.     It seems I lost 1765 reputation points on Stack Overflow yesterday. The reason given in my history is "removed", with the description of "User was removed ()". I don't understand what that means. What caused this? Syntax to add multiple commands to a single command block I am looking to try and set multiple commands in a single command block, but so far everything I have tried just returns "Unknown Command".  What is the format for writing multiple commands in a single command block in Minecraft 1.8?  Can I use either of the following:  Command:(command here) Command:(command here)     /command here; /command here;   Or is there another format? I can't understand how the "cryptographic functions" are to be selected RSA + OAEP which are used in OAEP. How to choose these "cryptographic functions"(G and H)? This part C\frac{1}{\sqrt{G}}\sqrt{\rho} doesn't seem to be on the same height as this part \sqrt{b}\sqrt{l} when compiled. What am I doing wrong?  \begin{flalign*} T=C\frac{1}{\sqrt{G}}\sqrt{\rho}\sqrt{b}\sqrt{l} &amp;&amp; \end{flalign*} Second order partial of $f(x,y)=\frac{xy(x^2-y^2)}{x^2+y^2}$ Consider the function $f(x,y)=\dfrac{xy(x^2-y^2)}{x^2+y^2}$ for $(x,y) \neq (0,0)$, $f=0$ otherwise.  I have to compute $\dfrac{d^2f}{dydx}(0,0)$.  I know that I have to calculate $\frac{df}{dx}$ first. But that is ,  $\frac{df}{dx} = \frac{\partial f}{\partial y}\frac{dy}{dx}+\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}$. When I put it in wolframalpha, it gives me this calculation, and also just $\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}$ as an alternative form.   Why do I just ignore the y'? I don't know what y(x) is, as a function of x.  y and x are independent functions, no? What is a good criterion or rule-of-thumb for determining when a control should be greyed-out and when should it be completely invisible? How to count occurrences of one field grouped by values of another? Is there a way of calculating the number of unique text strings in a field in ArcGIS 10.1? I have a number of repeated strings in this field, but would like to calculate the number of unique strings in a field based on groupings from another field.  E.g  - Current table:  Field 1    Field 2    Apple      Green      Apple      Red        Apple      Red Citrus     Yellow Citrus     Green Citrus     Orange Citrus     Orange   Result:  Field 1    Field 2 Apple      2 Citrus     3 Why is the QGIS map composer grid showing unreasonable lat/lon? I need to print a map with coordinates in the format of Degree, Minute and second. CRS is set to WGS 84 (EPSG 3857) for both layers and on the project properties it is set to enable transformation on the fly. But then, when in map composer I get the following coordinates, which make no sense to me.
