Simple Summary: Laryngeal cancer poses a major global health burden, with late-stage diagnoses contributing to decreased survival rates. Recently, deep learning and deep convolutional neural network models have exhibited significant attention in the diagnosis of various diseases like skin cancer and diabetic retinopathy. Therefore, this study focuses on the design and development of a deep learning-based laryngeal cancer detection and classification model. The proposed model exploited a hyperparameter-tuned EfficientNetB0 model with a multi-head bidirectional gated recurrent unit for classification. In addition, the Dwarf Mongoose Optimization algorithm is applied for the hyperparameter tuning process. The experimental results stated that the proposed model is found to be an accurate and reliable approach for automated detection of laryngeal cancer. Laryngeal cancer (LCA) is a serious disease with a concerning global rise in incidence. Accurate treatment for LCA is particularly challenging in later stages, due to its complex nature as a head and neck malignancy. To address this challenge, researchers have been actively developing various analysis methods and tools to assist medical professionals in efficient LCA identification. However, existing tools and methods often suffer from various limitations, including low accuracy in early-stage LCA detection, high computational complexity, and lengthy patient screening times. With this motivation, this study presents an Automated Laryngeal Cancer Detection and Classification using a Dwarf Mongoose Optimization Algorithm with Deep Learning (ALCAD-DMODL) technique. The main objective of the ALCAD-DMODL method is to recognize the existence of LCA using the DL model. In the presented ALCAD-DMODL technique, a median filtering (MF)-based noise removal process takes place to get rid of the noise. Additionally, the ALCAD-DMODL technique involves the EfficientNet-B0 model for deriving feature vectors from the pre-processed images. For optimal hyperparameter tuning of the EfficientNet-B0 model, the DMO algorithm can be applied to select the parameters. Finally, the multi-head bidirectional gated recurrent unit (MBGRU) model is applied for the recognition and classification of LCA. The simulation result analysis of the ALCAD-DMODL technique is carried out on the throat region image dataset. The comparison study stated the supremacy of the ALCAD-DMODL technique in terms of distinct measures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In 2019, the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) ravaged the world. As of July 2021, there are about 192 million infected people worldwide and 4.1365 million deaths. At present, the new coronavirus is still spreading and circulating in many places around the world, especially since the emergence of Delta variant strains has increased the risk of the COVID-19 pandemic again. The symptoms of COVID-19 are diverse, and most patients have mild symptoms, with fever, dry cough, and fatigue as the main manifestations, and about 15.7% to 32.0% of patients will develop severe symptoms. Patients are screened in hospitals or primary care clinics as the initial step in the therapy for COVID-19. Although transcription-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests are still the primary method for making the final diagnosis, in hospitals today, the election protocol is based on medical imaging because it is quick and easy to use, which enables doctors to diagnose illnesses and their effects more quickly3. According to this approach, individuals who are thought to have COVID-19 first undergo an X-ray session and then, if further information is required, a CT-scan session. This methodology has led to a significant increase in the use of computed tomography scans (CT scans) and X-ray pictures in the clinic as substitute diagnostic methods for identifying COVID-19. To provide a significant collection of various datasets and methods used to diagnose COVID-19, this paper provides a comparative study of various state-of-the-art methods. The impact of medical imaging techniques on COVID-19 is also discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aimed to compare the multi-layer perceptron as an artificial neural network and the decision tree model for predicting OPEC crude oil production. Machine learning is about designing algorithms that automatically extract valuable information from data, and it has seen many success stories. The accuracy of these two models was assessed using symmetric mean absolute percentage errors, mean absolute scaled errors, and mean absolute percentage errors. Achieved were the OPEC crude oil production's maximum projected figures. The OPEC crude oil output was also represented by certain descriptive scales and graphs; A comparison was made between the results and the earlier results acquired by the others after the study of the association between the variables revealed statistical significance.

Machine learning is the process of creating algorithms that extract useful facts from data automatically. The goal of this paper is to use an artificial neural network and a cubic spline model to predict various physical quantities displacement components in a thermoplastic solid, such as elastic waves, vector form, volume fraction field, thermal waves, stress components, and carrier density concentration (plasma waves). The mean absolute scaled error (MASE), the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), and the symmetric mean absolute percentage errors (SMAPE) are used to compare the accuracy of two models. The true displacements are given their maximum expected values. These factors have also been described using various descriptive statistics and diagrams. Statistical significance was found in the examination of the correlation between the variables, and a comparison was conducted between the findings and prior results acquired by others. The findings show that voids, rotation, optical temperature, and thermal relaxation all have a significant impact on the phenomena, and they are in line with earlier physical findings. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that certain physical variables describing such systems may display this property, allowing for the development of an analytical criterion for the advent of dynamical chaos.

A statistical method is applied to predict the behaviour of a quantum model consisting of a qubit interacting with a single-mode cavity field. The qubit is prepared in excited state while the field starts from the binomial distribution state. The wave function of the proposed model is obtained. A von Neumann entropy is used to investigate the behaviour of the entanglement between the field and the qubits. Moreover, the atomic Q and Wigner functions are used to identify the behaviour of the distribution in a phase space. The simulation method is used to estimate the parameters of the proposed model to reach the best results. A numerical study is performed to estimate the specific dependency of the binomial distribution state. The results of entanglement were compared with the atomic Q and Wigner functions. The results showed that there are many maximum values of entanglement periodically. The results also confirmed a correlation between von Neumann entropy, the atomic Q , and Wigner functions.

Classification in statistics is usually used to solve the problems of identifying to which set of categories, such as subpopulations, new observation belongs, based on a training set of data containing information (or instances) whose category membership is known. The article aims to use the Gaussian Mixture Model to model the daily closing price index over the period of 1/1/2013 to 16/8/2020 in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The daily closing price index over the period declined, which might be the effect of corona virus, and the mean of the study period is about 7866.965. The closing price is the last regular deal that took place during the continuous trading period. If there are no transactions on the stock during the day, the closing price is the previous day's closing price. The closing auction period comes after the continuous trading period (from 3 : 00 PM to 3 : 10 PM), during which investors can enter by buying and selling the stocks at this period. The experimental results show that the best mixture model is E (equal variance) with three components according to the BIC criterion. The expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm converged in 2 repetitions. The data source is from Tadawul KSA. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Different types of censoring scheme are investigated; however, statistical inference on censoring scheme which can save the ideal test time and the minimum number of failures is needed. The generalized type-I hybrid censoring scheme (GHCS) solves this problem. Competing the risk models under the GHCS when time to failure has Chen lifetime distribution (CD) is adopted in this research with consideration of only two cases of failure. Partially step-stress accelerated life tests (ALTs) are applied to obtain enough failure times in a small period to achieve a highly reliable product. The problem of parameter estimation under maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayes methods is discussed. The asymptotic confidence interval as well as the Bayes credible interval is constructed. The validity of theoretical results is assessed and compared through simulation study. Finally, brief comments are reported to describe the behaviour of the estimation results.

Statistical and artificial neural network models are applied to forecast the quantum scheme of a three-level atomic system (3LAS) and field, initially following a photon added negative binomial distribution (PANBD). The Mandel parameter is used to detect the photon statistics of a radiation field. Explicit forms of the PANBD are given. The prediction of the Mandel parameter, atomic probability of the 3LAS in the upper state, and von Neumann entropy are obtained using time series and artificial neural network methods. The influence of probability success photons and the number of added photons to the NBD are examined. The total density matrix is used to compute and analyze the time evolution of the initial photonic negative binomial probability distribution that governs the 3LAS–field photon entanglement behavior. It is shown that the statistical quantities are strongly affected by probability success photons and the number of added photons to the NBD. Also, the prediction of quantum entropy is achieved by the time series and neural network. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this study, we suggested an innovative approach by introducing an Adaptive Exponential Weighted Moving Average (AEWMA) control chart utilizing Variable Sample Size (VSS) under Bayesian methodology. The proposed methodology utilized an integer linear function to dynamically adjust sample sizes according to the AEWMA statistic. Another appealing feature of our adaptive framework is the integration of the smoothing constant of an EWMA chart, which enhances monitoring responsiveness. We reveal the superiority of our recommended control chart by extensive simulations to existing Bayesian EWMA and Bayesian AEWMA control charts using Fixed sample size (FSS). The offered Bayesian VAEWMA control chart is more sensitive to detection improvement, a decrease in the false alarm rate, and overall more effective than the existing methods. These findings provide additional justification for the basic notion that process control statistical tools needed to be dynamic, as the manufacturing process itself was dynamic. The results suggest the importance of introducing adaptive SPC methods in dynamic manufacturing environments. A real data application is performed to evaluate the validity and optimal performance of our recommended chart."Please check article if captured correctly."="Dear Editor we have checked and found corrrect."As per standard instruction, city is required for affiliations; however, this information is missing in affiliations [1, 5].
