Influence analyses of "designs" for evaluating inconsistency in network meta-analysis [PDF]
Network meta-analysis is an evidence synthesis method for comparing the effectiveness of multiple available treatments. To justify evidence synthesis, consistency is an important assumption; however, existing methods founded on statistical testing can be substantially limited in statistical power or have several drawbacks when handling multi-arm ...

Healthy Live Births Should be Considered as Competing Events when Estimating the Total Effect of Prenatal Medication Use on Pregnancy Outcomes [PDF]
Pregnancy loss is recognized as an important competing event in studies of prenatal medication use. However, a healthy live birth also precludes subsequent adverse pregnancy outcomes, yet these events are often censored. Using Monte Carlo simulation, we examine bias that results from failure to account for healthy live birth as a competing event in ...

Agent TCP/IP: An Agent-to-Agent Transaction System [PDF]
Autonomous agents represent an inevitable evolution of the internet. Current agent frameworks do not embed a standard protocol for agent-to-agent interaction, leaving existing agents isolated from their peers. As intellectual property is the native asset ingested by and produced by agents, a true agent economy requires equipping agents with a universal

Agentic AI and Multiagentic: Are We Reinventing the Wheel? [PDF]
The terms Agentic AI and Multiagentic AI have recently gained popularity in discussions on generative artificial intelligence, often used to describe autonomous software agents and systems composed of such agents. However, the use of these terms confuses these buzzwords with well-established concepts in AI literature: intelligent agents and multi-agent
