DCEDesignSA: A MATLAB-based Graphical User Interface for Discrete Choice Experiment Design Using Simulated Annealing
Yinfu Liu, Yicheng Mao
DCEDesignSA is a freely available MATLAB package for generating Bayesian D-optimal discrete choice experiment designs. It employs Simulated Annealing to efficiently search the desi…
LatentChem: From Textual CoT to Latent Thinking in Chemical Reasoning
Xinwu Ye, Yicheng Mao, Yuxuan Liao +16
Current chemical large language models (LLMs) predominantly rely on explicit Chain-of-Thought (CoT) to solve complex reasoning problems. However, forcing nonverbal tacit chemical l…
Neural Posterior Estimation for Spatial Individual-Level Epidemic Models
Yicheng Mao, Rob Deardon
Spatial individual-level models (ILMs) provide a flexible framework for modelling infectious disease transmission across populations with known locations. Bayesian inference for th…
Simulated Annealing for Model-Robust Partial Profile Choice Designs in Healthcare Preference Studies
Yicheng Mao, Roselinde Kessels
Discrete Choice Experiments (DCEs) investigate participants' preferences by observing their choice behavior in hypothetical scenarios and are widely used in the domain of healthcar…
Digital Gatekeepers: Exploring Large Language Model's Role in Immigration Decisions
Yicheng Mao, Yang Zhao
With globalization and increasing immigrant populations, immigration departments face significant work-loads and the challenge of ensuring fairness in decision-making processes. In…
Constructing Bayesian Optimal Designs for Discrete Choice Experiments by Simulated Annealing
Yicheng Mao, Roselinde Kessels, Tom van der Zanden
Discrete choice experiments (DCEs) investigate the attributes that influence individuals' choices when selecting among various options. To enhance the quality of the estimated choi…
