Impact of supervisors' research style on young biomedical scientists' capacity development as measured by REDi, a novel index of crossdisciplinarity [PDF]
Frontiers in Research Metrics and Analytics, 2022 The challenge for medical schools in Japan is to develop research activities for innovation. This study aimed at analyzing the connection between the research output of “promising researchers” (next-generation leaders in terms of research activity) and ...

Semiparametric discovery and estimation of interaction in mixed exposures using stochastic interventions [PDF]
Journal of Causal InferenceUnderstanding the complex interactions among multiple environmental exposures is critical for assessing their combined impact on health outcomes. This study introduces InterXshift, a novel semiparametric method that provides a nonparametric definition of

Assessing surrogate heterogeneity in real world data using meta-learners [PDF]
Journal of Causal InferenceSurrogate markers are most commonly studied within the context of randomized clinical trials. However, the need for alternative outcomes also extends to real-world public health and social science research, where randomized trials are often impractical ...

Open Mathematics, 2022 In this article, we propose a Gompertz-two-parameter-Lindley distribution by mixing the frailty parameter of the Gompertz distribution with a two-parameter Lindley distribution. The structural properties of the model, such as shape properties, cumulative

Decomposition of the total effect for two mediators: A natural mediated interaction effect framework
Journal of Causal Inference, 2022 Mediation analysis has been used in many disciplines to explain the mechanism or process that underlies an observed relationship between an exposure variable and an outcome variable via the inclusion of mediators.

Control charts for health care monitoring under intermittent out-of-control behavior [PDF]
, 2011 Health care monitoring typically concerns attribute data with very low failure rates. Efficient control charts then signal if the waiting time till r (e.g. r≤5) failures is too small.
