RETRACTION: H. Mao, M. Zhang, B. Li, and N. Xu. “Stability Analysis of the Left Bank Slope of Baihetan Hydropower Station Based on the MF-DFA Method,” Advances in Civil Engineering 2020, no. 1 (2020): 1–19, https://doi.org/10.1155/2020/8898318.
The above article, published online on 31 July 2020 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), has been retracted by agreement between the authors; the journal Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Cumaraswamy Vipulanandan; and John Wiley & Sons Ltd. The retraction has been agreed due to concerns being raised by the authors regarding Figures 15 and 18.
Specifically, the model proposed in Figure 18 is incorrect, and does not follow the same variation rules as Figure 15.
Additionally, in Figure 15, the assumptions used to select the upper and lower limits of a and f(a) were incorrect. After subsequent calculation and analysis, the authors found that the median value and average value did not reflect the law.
In light of these errors, the results and conclusions are no longer valid.
The authors agree to the retraction.
