COVARIANCE AMONG INDEPENDENT VARIABLES DETERMINES THE OVERFITTING AND UNDERFITTING IN VARIATION PARTITIONING METHODS: WITH A FOCUS ON THE MIXED CO-VARIATION

Covariance among independent variables determines the overfitting and underfitting in variation partitioning methods: with a focus on the mixed co-variation

The effectiveness and validity of applying variation partitioning methods in community ecology has been questioned.Here, using mathematical deduction and numerical simulation, we made an attempt to uncover the underlying mechanisms determining the effectiveness of variation partitioning techniques.The covariance among HANKS independent variables de

Guided Electromagnetic Wave Technique for IC Authentication

Counterfeiting of an Integrated ORG PLANT CALCIUM Circuit (IC) has become a significant concern for electronics manufacturers, system integrators, and end users.It is necessary to find a robust implementation that is efficient, low cost, and noninvasive in detection and avoidance of ICs counterfeiting.In this paper, we introduce the concept of usin
