One model to rule them all? Using machine learning algorithms to determine the number of factors in exploratory factor analysis.

Psychological methods
Determining the number of factors is one of the most crucial decisions a researcher has to face when conducting an exploratory factor analysis. As no common factor retention criterion can be seen as generally superior, a new approach is proposed-comb...

Stress among Portuguese Medical Students: the EuStress Solution.

Journal of medical systems
There has been an increasing attention to the study of stress. Particularly, college students often experience high levels of stress that are linked to several negative outcomes concerning academic functioning, physical, and mental health. In this pa...

Development and validation of a questionnaire to assess public receptivity toward autonomous vehicles and its relation with the traffic safety climate in China.

Accident; analysis and prevention
The advent of autonomous vehicles (AVs) has gained increasing attention in China. Although auto manufacturers and innovators have attempted to confirm that AVs are safe and have introduced them on public roads, it is vital to understand end-users' ac...

Nonnegative Matrix Factorization for identification of unknown number of sources emitting delayed signals.

PloS one
Factor analysis is broadly used as a powerful unsupervised machine learning tool for reconstruction of hidden features in recorded mixtures of signals. In the case of a linear approximation, the mixtures can be decomposed by a variety of model-free B...

Using Neural Networks to predict HFACS unsafe acts from the pre-conditions of unsafe acts.

Ergonomics
Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS) is based upon Reason's organizational model of human error which suggests that there is a 'one to many' mapping of condition tokens (HFACS level 2 psychological precursors) to unsafe act tokens...

The neuromorphological caudate-putaminal clustering of neostriate interneurons: Kohonen self-organizing maps and supervised artificial neural networks with multivariate analysis.

Journal of theoretical biology
AIMS: The objective of this study is to investigate the possibility of the neuromorphotopological clustering of neostriate interneurons (NSIN) and their consequent classification into caudate (CIN) and putaminal neuron type (PIN), according to the nu...

A Time-Series Water Level Forecasting Model Based on Imputation and Variable Selection Method.

Computational intelligence and neuroscience
Reservoirs are important for households and impact the national economy. This paper proposed a time-series forecasting model based on estimating a missing value followed by variable selection to forecast the reservoir's water level. This study collec...

Advanced analytical methodologies for measuring healthy ageing and its determinants, using factor analysis and machine learning techniques: the ATHLOS project.

Scientific reports
A most challenging task for scientists that are involved in the study of ageing is the development of a measure to quantify health status across populations and over time. In the present study, a Bayesian multilevel Item Response Theory approach is u...

Advanced Residuals Analysis for Determining the Number of PARAFAC Components in Dissolved Organic Matter.

Applied spectroscopy
Parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) has facilitated an explosion in research connecting the fluorescence properties of dissolved organic matter (DOM) to its functions and biogeochemical cycling in natural and engineered systems. However, the validatio...
