Background and Objectives This article analyses the approach of identifying critical traceability events (CTE) corresponding key data elements (KDE). The CTE–KDE is evidence-based that identifies, documents activities. It can be easily performed by (i) auditors; (ii) food manufacturers/processors; (iii) suppliers to access gaps in process supply chain. For example, for a grain processor storage...

When highly-accurate and/or assumption-free density estimation is needed, nonpara-metric methods are often called upon-most notably the popular kernel density estimation (KDE) method. However, the practitioner is instantly faced with the formidable computational cost of KDE for appreciable dataset sizes, which becomes even more prohibitive when many models with diierent kernel scales (bandwidth...

BACKGROUND The detection of change in magnitude of directional coupling between two non-linear time series is a common subject of interest in the biomedical domain, including studies involving the respiratory chemoreflex system. Although transfer entropy is a useful tool in this avenue, no study to date has investigated how different transfer entropy estimation methods perform in typical biomed...
