Prediction of shear strength in exterior reinforced concrete joints using kernel-based Gaussian Regression.

A Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) model was developed to predict the shear capacity of exterior reinforced concrete (RC) beam-column joints subjected to seismic loading. The model accounts for key parameters, including beam and column geometry, reinforcement detailing, axial column load, and concrete compressive strength. A database of 273 experimentally tested specimens was used, with emphasis ...

Identification of key predictors of postmenopausal osteoporosis from routine clinical indicators using explainable machine learning.

BACKGROUND: Machine learning (ML) shows promise in using clinical data to predict chronic diseases. However, its application in PMOP risk assessment using readily available clinical and biochemical parameters is underexplored. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to develop and validate an interpretable ML-based model for assessing PMOP using clinical features and laboratory biomarkers, and to identify fac...
