Improved binomial charts for monitoring high-quality processes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
For processes concerning attribute data with (very) small failure rate p, often negative binomial control charts are used. The decision whether to stop or continue is made each time r failures have occurred, for some r≥1.

Minimally capturing heterogeneous complier effect of endogenous treatment for any outcome variable

open access: yesJournal of Causal Inference, 2023
When a binary treatment DD is possibly endogenous, a binary instrument δ\delta is often used to identify the “effect on compliers.” If covariates XX affect both DD and an outcome YY, XX should be controlled to identify the “XX-conditional complier ...

Towards Prediction of HCV Therapy Efficiency

open access: yesComputational and Mathematical Methods in Medicine, Volume 11, Issue 2, Page 185-199, 2010., 2010
We investigate a correlation between genetic diversity of hepatitis C virus population and the level of viral RNA accumulation in patient blood. Genetic diversity is defined as the mean Hamming distance between all pairs of virus RNA sequences representing the population. We have found that a low Hamming distance (i.e. low genetic diversity) correlates

Sequence alignment generation using intermediate sequence search for homology modeling

open access: yesComputational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2020
Protein tertiary structure is important information in various areas of biological research, however, the experimental cost associated with structure determination is high, and computational prediction methods have been developed to facilitate a more ...

Optimal balancing of time-dependent confounders for marginal structural models

open access: yesJournal of Causal Inference, 2021
Marginal structural models (MSMs) can be used to estimate the causal effect of a potentially time-varying treatment in the presence of time-dependent confounding via weighted regression.

Inferences for Joint Modelling of Repeated Ordinal Scores and Time to Event Data

open access: yesComputational and Mathematical Methods in Medicine, Volume 11, Issue 3, Page 281-295, 2010., 2010
In clinical trials and other follow‐up studies, it is natural that a response variable is repeatedly measured during follow‐up and the occurrence of some key event is also monitored. There has been a considerable study on the joint modelling these measures together with information on covariates.

Optimal weighting for estimating generalized average treatment effects

open access: yesJournal of Causal Inference, 2022
In causal inference, a variety of causal effect estimands have been studied, including the sample, uncensored, target, conditional, optimal subpopulation, and optimal weighted average treatment effects.

Comparison of Different Underlying Distributions in The Accelerated Failure Time (AFT) Model on Mortality of Covid-19 Patients

open access: yesInPrime, 2022
In 2022, the COVID-19 virus is still making headlines in various mass media because it is a virus that is very dangerous to health. The world health organization, WHO, explained that the virus caused a global pandemic that infected the whole world.

Generalized Fokker–Planck Theory for Electron and Photon Transport in Biological Tissues: Application to Radiotherapy

open access: yesComputational and Mathematical Methods in Medicine, Volume 11, Issue 4, Page 313-339, 2010., 2010
In this paper, we study a deterministic method for particle transport in biological tissues. The method is specifically developed for dose calculations in cancer therapy and for radiological imaging. Generalized Fokker–Planck (GFP) theory [Leakeas and Larsen, Nucl. Sci. Eng. 137 (2001), pp.

Solving the 100 Swiss Francs Problem [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Sturmfels offered 100 Swiss Francs in 2005 to a conjecture, which deals with a special case of the maximum likelihood estimation for a latent class model.
