title: Data from: Determining bad actors: A linear mixed effects model approach to elucidate behavioral toxicity of metal mixtures in drinking water

description: Mixtures of chemical contaminants can pose a significant health risk to humans and wildlife, even at levels considered safe for each individual chemical. There is a critical need to develop statistical methods to evaluate the drivers of toxic effects in chemical mixtures (i.e., bad actors) from exposure studies. Here, we develop a hierarchical modeling framework to disentangle the toxicity of complex metal mixtures. For this, we used a dataset generated in Babich et al., 2021 that assessed impacts on zebrafish larval development from exposure to drinking water sampled from 92 wells across Maine and New Hampshire, USA. We sought to leverage the more complex data structure of larval behavioral tests to estimate effects of individual metal elements and their combinations on zebrafish development. Metals identified as drivers of neurodevelopmental toxicity were experimentally evaluated using zebrafish larvae to validate the LMM findings from the complex metal mixtures screening dataset. Datasets herein include water sample parameter estimates, individual and paired metals comparisons, metal metrics, and experimental test results with zebrafish.

title: A Revised Three-Dimensional Visualization of the Local Group of Galaxies

description: A new three-dimensional reconstruction of the Local Group (142 confirmed members) and nearest galaxies (15 members) is presented, addressing the lack of up-to-date visual representations that reflect the rapid pace of discoveries in the field. While numerous studies have refined distance measurements and catalogued newly discovered dwarf galaxies, most existing educational-graphic visualizations remain not updated or fragmented. This project offers a comprehensive view based on published data and the constantly updated Local Volume Galaxies database, using a Cartesian visualization to depict accurate spatial relationships among the galaxies of the Local Group. The resulting map not only updates previous visualizations by incorporating new members and refined distances, but also highlights the growing challenge of maintaining a consistent nomenclature and reference system for the Local Group. It is both visually attractive, and serves as a scientific and educational tool aimed at reflecting the evolving structure of our galactic neighbourhood.

title: Clustering multivariate longitudinal observations: The contaminated Gaussian hidden Markov model

description: The Gaussian hidden Markov model (HMM) is widely considered for the analysis of heterogeneous continuous multivariate longitudinal data. To robustify this approach with respect to possible elliptical heavy-tailed departures from normality, due to the presence of outliers, spurious points, or noise (collectively referred to as <i>bad points</i> herein), the contaminated Gaussian HMM is here introduced. The contaminated Gaussian distribution represents an elliptical generalization of the Gaussian distribution and allows for automatic detection of bad points in the same natural way as observations are typically assigned to the latent states in the HMM context. Once the model is fitted, each observation has a posterior probability of belonging to a particular state and, inside each state, of being a bad point or not. In addition to the parameters of the classical Gaussian HMM, for each state we have two more parameters, both with a specific and useful interpretation: one controls the proportion of bad points and one specifies their degree of atypicality. A sufficient condition for the identifiability of the model is given, an expectation-conditional maximization algorithm is outlined for parameter estimation and various operational issues are discussed. Using a large scale simulation study, but also an illustrative artificial dataset, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model in comparison with HMMs of different elliptical distributions, and we also evaluate the performance of some well-known information criteria in selecting the true number of latent states. The model is finally used to fit data on criminal activities in Italian provinces.
