Auxiliary variables for deformable models [PDF]
We present a mathematical formulation for curve and surface reconstruction algorithms by introduction of auxiliary variables. For deformable models and templates, two step iterative algorithms have been often used where, at each iteration, the model is first locally deformed according to the potential data attraction and then globally smoothed. We show

Imputation of missing data for domain mean estimation using simple random sampling
The estimate of domain mean is a significant issue in sample surveys. However, if the data is missing, it becomes very necessary. In the case of missing data, this paper proposes some direct and synthetic domain mean estimators using simple random ...

Row–Column Sampling Design Using Auxiliary Ranking Variables
AbstractIn this paper, we present a new class of row–column sampling design when a sampling region is presented by non-overlapping quadrats of an rp-by-p row–column grid. Quadrats are rank-ordered on a relevant auxiliary variable, first in the rp rows of the grid and then in the so formed p ranked columns.

ABSTRACT Background Parents of children treated for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) often experience significant caregiver burden and disruption to their well‐being. While parent quality of life (QoL) during treatment is well characterized, little is known about outcomes during early survivorship.

Estimation of population mean using ranked set sampling in the presence of measurement errors
Ranked set sampling is widely acknowledged for its superior efficiency compared with simple random sampling. Only a small amount of work has been conducted using ranked set sampling when measurement errors are present.

Ranked set sampling (RSS) is an efficient technique for estimating parameters and is applicable whenever ranking on a set of sampling units can be done easily by a judgment method or based on an auxiliary variable.

ABSTRACT A second allogeneic (allo‐)hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT2) is a potential curative option for pediatric patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) following relapse after first allogeneic transplantation (HSCT1), but its efficacy is limited by high relapse rates and transplant‐related toxicity in highly pretreated ...

When researchers conduct surveys seeking sensitive, socially stigmatized information, respondents, on average, modify their answers to represent themselves favorably. To overcome this issue, researchers may use Randomized Response Technique (RRT) models.

ABSTRACT Background L‐asparaginase is a critical component in treatment protocols for pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Acute pancreatitis reactions can necessitate delays and, in some cases, discontinuation of L‐asparaginase, which compromises outcomes.
