Retraction of: Scientific Reports https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-022-20239-y, published online 30 September 2022
The Editors have retracted this Article.
Following publication, the inclusion of several questioned references in the Article was brought to the attention of the Editors. Post-publication peer-review of the Article has uncovered further concerns such as the rationale of the work not being adequately justified, lack of clarity in the mathematical arguments and inferences, and inadequate validation and benchmarking. The Editors therefore no longer have confidence in the conclusions presented.
Tahir Mahmood disagrees with the retraction. Zeeshan Ali and Muhammad Aslam did not respond to the correspondence from Editors about this retraction.
