Geographically Weighted Canonical Correlation Analysis
This article critically assesses the utility of the classical statistical technique of canonical correlation analysis (CCA) to study spatial associations and proposes a new approach to enhance it. Unlike bivariate correlation analysis, which focuses on the relationship between two individual variables, CCA investigates associations between two sets of variables by finding pairs of linear combinations that are maximally correlated. CCA has great p…

Geographical Gaussian Process Regression
This study proposes a new spatial machine‐learning model called geographical Gaussian process regression (GGPR). GGPR is extended from Gaussian process regression (GPR) by adopting the principle of spatial similarity for calibration, and it is designed to conduct spatial prediction and exploratory spatial data analysis (ESDA). GGPR addresses several key challenges in spatial machine learning. First, as a probabilistic model, GGPR avoids the confl…

A Reciprocal Statistic for Detecting the Full Range of Local Patterns of Bivariate Spatial Association
Bivariate spatial association is the relationship between two variables in spatial proximity. Observation of strong bivariate spatial association rests on the similarity of two variables in the same geographic neighborhood, and it should not be conditioned by the concentration of extreme values. Existing spatial statistical methods, however, put disproportionate emphasis on patterns formed by extreme values, such as the so-called high–high, low–l…
Parallel sequencing of 170 STR and 132 SNP markers using the FGID forensic four-in-one DNA typing kit on the DNBSEQ-G99RS platform
Massive parallel sequencing (MPS) has rapidly emerged as a promising technique for forensic DNA typing due to its capacity to simultaneously detect numerous genetic markers and samples in a single reaction, allowing the direct acquisition of sequence information. In this current investigation, the FGID forensic four-in-one DNA typing kit was employed on the DNBSEQ-G99RS high-throughput sequencing platform to simultaneously analyse two types of fo…
Quantitation of human mitochondrial DNA and whole mtGenomes sequencing of fingernail/hair shaft samples
The analysis of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is suitable for fingernail/hair shaft samples in forensic science. A successful mtDNA forensic analysis depends on the quantity and quality of the mtDNA. The application of massively parallel sequence techniques to the analysis of mtDNA has the potential to improve the recovery of genetic information from difficult forensic specimens and to increase the discrimination potential of mtDNA by capturing and c…

Map Reading and Analysis with GPT-4V(ision)
In late 2023, the image-reading capability added to a Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) framework provided the opportunity to potentially revolutionize the way we view and understand geographic maps, the core component of cartography, geography, and spatial data science. In this study, we explore reading and analyzing maps with the latest version of GPT-4-vision-preview (GPT-4V), to fully evaluate its advantages and disadvantages in compar…

Applying Local Indicators of Spatial Association to Analyze Longitudinal Data
Local Indicators of Spatial Association (LISA) are a class of spatial statistical methods that have been widely applied in various scientific fields. When applying LISA to make longitudinal comparisons of spatial data, a common way is to run LISA analysis at each time point, then compare the results to infer the distributional dynamics of spatial processes. Given that LISA hinges on the global mean value that often varies across time, the LISA re…
Internal validation of an improved system for forensic application
A novel multiplex comprising 41 Y-STR and 3 Y-InDel was developed for forensic application.The multiplex included rapidly mutating Y-STRs and low-medium mutating Y-STRs, which is compatible with many commonly used Y-STR kits.The multiplex is a powerful tool for distinguishing related males, familial searching, and constructing DNA databases
Location Optimization of Covid-19 Vaccination Sites
The equitable allocation of COVID-19 vaccines is a critical challenge worldwide, given that the pandemic has been disproportionally affecting economically disadvantaged racial and ethnic groups. In the United States, the ongoing implementation efforts at different administrative levels and districts, to some extent, are standing in conflict with commitments to mitigate inequities. In this study, we developed a spatial optimization model to choose…
Investigation on the Genetic-Inconsistent Paternity Cases Using the MiSeq FGx System
Mutations might challenge the paternity index calculation in forensic identification. While many studies have focussed on the autosomal short tandem repeats (A-STR), the mutation status of sex chromosomes and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) remain blank. Next generation sequencing (NGS), known as high throughput and large sequence polymorphism, is a promising tool for forensic genetics. To describe the mutation landscapes in the paternity ca…
Multi-Locus Identification of Psilocybe Cubensis by High-Resolution Melting (HRM)
Hallucinogenic mushroom is a kind of toxic strain containing psychoactive tryptamine substances such as psilocybin, psilocin and ibotenic acid, etc. The mushrooms containing hallucinogenic components are various, widely distributed and lack of standard to define, which made a great challenge to identification. Traditional identification methods, such as morphology and toxicology analysis, showed shortcomings in old or processed samples, while the…

Boosting Computational Effectiveness in Big Spatial Flow Data Analysis with Intelligent Data Reduction
One of the enduring issues of spatial origin-destination (OD) flow data analysis is the computational inefficiency or even the impossibility to handle large datasets. Despite the recent advancements in high performance computing (HPC) and the ready availability of powerful computing infrastructure, we argue that the best solutions are based on a thorough understanding of the fundamental properties of the data. This paper focuses on overcoming the…
