We analyzed the trends in the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak in Tokyo and Osaka from January 25 to May 06, 2020. To analyze the trends and to identify significant changes in trends we performed a joinpoint regression analysis. Since the last of March, COVID-19 cases soared up in Tokyo (β = 103.51) and Osaka (β = 28.07). During the 2nd and 3rd weeks of April, both Tokyo (β = 157.53) and Osaka (β = 60.96) experienced the peak growth in COVID-19 cases. Since then, with some hope…

How much leeway is there to relax COVID-19 control measures?
TLDR
A Bayesian method is presented to estimate the leeway to reopen, or alternatively the strength of change required to re-establish CO VID-19 control, in a range of jurisdictions experiencing different COVID-19 epidemics, and recommends a cautious approach to reopening economies and borders, coupled with strong monitoring for changes in transmission.

Estimating average annual per cent change in trend analysis
TLDR
The average annual per cent change (AAPC) is proposed, which uses sAPCs to summarize and compare trends for a specific time period and takes into account the trend transitions, whereas cAPC does not and can lead to erroneous conclusions.
Temporal Trends in Apparent Food Consumption in Bangladesh: A Joinpoint Regression Analysis of FAO’s Food Balance Sheet Data from 1961 to 2013
TLDR
This study reveals and quantifies the significant secular changes in the dietary history of Bangladesh from 1961 to 2013 and identifies the increasing prevalence of overweightness and emergence of diet-related, non-communicable diseases in Bangladesh.
A modified Bayes information criterion with applications to the analysis of comparative genomic hybridization data.
TLDR
The asymptotic approximation of the Bayes factor is derived to derive a modified BIC for the model of Brownian motion with changing drift, which performs well compared to existing methods in accurately choosing the number of regions of changed copy number.
