The variation of dark energy density with redshift, $\rho_X(z)$, provides a critical clue to the nature of dark energy. Since $\rho_X(z)$ depends on the dark energy equation of state $w_X(z)$ through an integral, $\rho_X(z)$ can be…

In many scientific disciplines, the features of interest cannot be observed directly, so must instead be inferred from observed behaviour. Latent variable analyses are increasingly employed to systematise these inferences, and Principal…

Complexity is often exhibited in dynamical systems, where certain parameters evolve with time in a strange and chaotic nature. These systems lack predictability and are common in the physical world. Dissipative systems are one of such…

Principal component analysis (PCA) is routinely used in population genetics to assess genetic structure. With chromosomal reference genomes and population-scale whole genome-sequencing becoming increasingly accessible, contemporary studies…
