Abstract: RNA-seq count data are often affected by read-to-gene alignment ambiguity, especially in high-dimensional transcriptomics. This type of ambiguity can be conveniently expressed through granular counts, namely fuzzy-valued observations of latent discrete quantities. We study a class of fuzzy-reporting mechanisms and show that, when reporting exploits graded membership, ignorability fails generically, leading to a coarsening-not-at-random structure. A hierarchical model is then introduced as a tractable instance of this construction and illustrated using RNA-seq data.
Assessing nurses’ attitudes toward artificial intelligence in Kazakhstan: psychometric validation of a nine-item scale
BackgroundArtificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly integrated into healthcare, yet the attitudes and knowledge of nurses, who are the key mediators of AI implementation, remain underexplored.
