Our past columns have emphasized repeatedly that modeling is the single most important activity in mechatronics, which is becoming the design process of choice for successful multidisciplinary systems ...

Linear superposition, as its name implies, is associated with linear systems. In your core undergraduate electrical circuits class, you learned that networks comprising only resistors, capacitors and ...

Microbiome sequencing data are known to be biased; the measured taxa relative abundances can be systematically distorted from their true values at every step in the experimental/analysis workflow. If ...

Linear regression is a powerful and long-established statistical tool that is commonly used across applied sciences, economics and many other fields. Linear regression considers the relationship ...

Sometimes ecological data just don’t make sense. The sockeye salmon that spawn in British Columbia’s Fraser River offer a prime example. Scientists have tracked the fishery there since 1948, through ...
