The trade-off between factor score determinacy and the preservation of inter-factor correlations [PDF]
Regression factor score predictors have the maximum factor score determinacy, i.e., the maximum correlation with the corresponding factor, but they do not have the same inter-correlations as the factors. As it might be useful to compute factor score predictors that have the same inter-correlations as the factors, correlation-preserving factor score ...

Investigating whether adverse prenatal and perinatal events are associated with non-clinical psychotic symptoms at age 12 years in the ALSPAC birth cohort [PDF]
Background. Non-clinical psychosis-like symptoms (PLIKS) occur in about 15% of the population. It is not clear whether adverse events during early development alter the risk of developing PLIKS.

A Proper Scoring Rule for Validation of Competing Risks Models [PDF]
Scoring rules are used to evaluate the quality of predictions that take the form of probability distributions. A scoring rule is strictly proper if its expected value is uniquely minimized by the true probability distribution. One of the most well-known and widely used strictly proper scoring rules is the logarithmic scoring rule.

The Surgical Apgar Score in esophagectomy [PDF]
The Surgical Apgar Score is a validated prognostic tool that is based on select intraoperative variables (heart rate, mean arterial pressure, and blood loss). It has been shown to be a strong predictor of morbidity and mortality in a variety of surgical populations.

Evaluating the Discrimination Ability of Proper Multivariate Scoring Rules [PDF]
Proper scoring rules are commonly applied to quantify the accuracy of distribution forecasts. Given an observation they assign a scalar score to each distribution forecast, with the the lowest expected score attributed to the true distribution. The energy and variogram scores are two rules that have recently gained some popularity in multivariate ...

Caesarean Section among Referred and Self-Referred Birthing Women: A Cohort Study from a Tertiary Hospital, Northeastern Tanzania. [PDF]
The inequity in emergency obstetric care access in Tanzania is unsatisfactory. Despite an existing national obstetric referral system, many birthing women bypass referring facilities and go directly to higher-level care centres.
