A novel ant colony optimization-based maximum power point tracking for photovoltaic systems under partially shaded conditions by Jiang, Lian Lian., Maskell, Douglas L., Patra, Jagdish C.

“…However, when the PV arrays are partially shaded, multiple MPPs show up, which usually results in the failure of finding the global MPP. Some researchers have reported this problem and tried to solve it, but most of the MPP control schemes are relatively complicated or fail to guarantee the MPP under all shading circumstances. …”

A generative model for evaluating missing data methods in large epidemiological cohorts by Radosavljević, L, Smith, SM, Nichols, TE

“…For example, in the UK Biobank missing data tends to appear in blocks, because non-participation in one of the sub-studies leads to missingness for all sub-study variables. Methods: We propose a tool for generating mixed type missing data mimicking key properties of a given real large scale epidemiological data set with both structured and unstructured missingness while accounting for informative missingness. …”
