Latent class models with crossed subject-specific and test(rater)-specific random effects have been proposed to estimate the diagnostic accuracy (sensitivity and specificity) of a group of binary tests or binary ratings. However, the computation of these models are hindered by their complicated...

Surface subsidence with various formation mechanisms possesses varied and complex influencing factors. Thus, studying surface subsidence mechanism and regularity under different special geological conditions is important in implementing disaster prevention and reduction programs. This paper...

Ground subsidence in underground coal mining areas causes environmental damage and creates hazards on the ground surface, which is long-term, widely distributed, and can lead to large-scale geological disasters. Achieving a high-precision method to predict mining subsidence deformation is very...
