A Survey on Bias and Fairness in Machine Learning (2019, background): “tage over men. The paradox happened as women tended to apply to departments with lower admission rates for both genders. Simpson’s paradox has been observed in a variety of domains, including biology [34], psychology [68], astronomy [89], and computational social science [77]. (8) Longitudinal Data ”
OptCom: A Multi-Level Optimization Framework for the Metabolic Modeling and Analysis of Microbial Communities (2012, methodology): “A wide range of methods beyond flux balance analysis have been used to model microbial communities [34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41, 42,43,44,45].”
Nonequilibrium physics in biology (2019, methodology): “Thus, synthetic microbial populations have been recently exploited as model systems to study population dynamics (Brenner et al., 2008; 51 Chuang et al., 2009; De Roy et al., 2014; Gore et al., 2009; Groß kopf and Soyer, 2014; Kong et al., 2018; Ozgen et al., 2018; Shou et al., 2007; Xavier, 2011).”
UvA-DARE ( Digital Academic Repository ) Simpson ' s paradox in psychological science : a practical guide (2017, background): “Despite the fact that SP has been repeatedly recognized in data sets, documented cases are often treated as noteworthy exceptions (e.g., Bickel et al., 1975; Scheiner et al., 2000; Chuang et al., 2009).”
Evolutionary dynamics of group interactions on structured populations: a review (2013, methodology): “A simple model inspired by experiments [4–10] can be invoked both for motivating the usage of the public goods game as well as for introducing basic notation.”
Games on graphs (2014, background): “A number of experiments [42], [15] have shown that group or patch structure, with limited dispersal between patches, can promote public goods cooperation.”
Evolutionary game theory: Theoretical concepts and applications to microbial communities (2010, background): “There has been an increasing number of experiments using microorganisms trying to shed new light on the problem of cooperation [18,19,22,23].”
Emergence of Spatial Structure in Cell Groups and the Evolution of Cooperation (2010, background): “Previous work performed with bacteria in liquid planktonic culture has concluded that cooperative cell phenotypes cannot be selectively favored within a single population also containing exploitative cells [17,19,20].”
