JN.1 and HV.1 variants may be associated with a lower #risk of severe illness. The severity of #COVID19 may have attenuated as predominant circulating SARS-CoV-2 lineages shifted from EG.5 to HV.1 to JN.1.

`Intuitively, if the restricted #estimator is near the maximum of the #likelihood function, the score should not differ from zero by more than sampling error. While the finite sample #distributions of score tests are generally unknown, they have an #asymptotic χ2-distribution under the null #hypothesis as first proved by C. R. Rao in 1948, a fact that can be used to determine statistical #significance.`

@lulu_powerful so, now you'll have to define #likelihood for us, please?

Even though this post is in German, the research article "Classification of Tragedies and Comedies in Calderón de la Barca’s Comedias Nuevas" has been published in English at https://zfdg.de/2022_012

We analyze 112 comedies of the Spanish Golden Age dramatist, explore 4 methods to classify them using #word #embeddings, compute #log #likelihood #probability, use #skipgram & #fasttext to characterize the corpus, and contrastive vocabulary analysis to characterize both genres

The research article "#Classification of Tragedies and Comedies in Calderón de la Barca’s Comedias Nuevas", written by @sebastianpado and me, has just been published:
