The BCG dilemma: linear versus non-linear correlation models over the time of the COVID-19 pandemic

Show abstract
In this work we have analysed the use of two different correlation metrics and two different datasets, detecting differences in the extent and directionality of the correlation between COVID-19 infection and BCG immunization. Correlation between COVID-19 infection, death rates and BCG immunization is strongly affected by the correlation metrics and so will be their biological interpretation.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
