Beta-negative binomial nonlinear spatio-temporal random effects modeling of COVID-19 case counts in Japan

, 2022
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus has spread seriously throughout the world. Predicting the spread, or the number of cases, in the future can facilitate preparation for, and prevention of, a worst-case scenario.

RNA Sequencing Resolves Cryptic Pathogenic Variants in Mitochondrial Disease

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Mitochondrial diseases are the most common inherited metabolic disorders, characterized by pronounced clinical and genetic heterogeneity that complicates molecular diagnosis. Although DNA‐based sequencing approaches have become standard in genetic testing, up to half of patients remain without a definitive diagnosis.

Reserves, Injury Severity, and Outcomes in Traumatic Brain Injury: A CENTER‐TBI Observational Study

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Reserve refers to the brain's ability to maintain function after an injury and strongly relates to traumatic brain injury (TBI) outcomes. This study examined (1) whether associations between pre‐injury reserve proxies and outcomes differed across injury severity categories, and (2) whether the impact of injury severity varied across ...

A Review of the Behrens–Fisher Problem and Some of its Analogs

Revstat Statistical Journal, 2019
The traditional Behrens–Fisher (B-F) problem is to test the equality of the means µ1 and µ2 of two normal populations using two independent samples, when the quotient of the population variances is unknown. Welch [43] developed a frequentist approximate

Allele expression biases in mixed-ploid sugarcane accessions

Scientific Reports, 2022
Allele-specific expression (ASE) represents differences in the magnitude of expression between alleles of the same gene. This is not straightforward for polyploids, especially autopolyploids, as knowledge about the dose of each allele is required for ...

Association Between Neurofilament Light Chain and Real‐World Ambulatory Function in Progressive MS

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Neurofilament light chain (NfL) is a biomarker of neuroaxonal injury in multiple sclerosis (MS), yet associations with functional outcomes remain unclear. Longitudinal associations between serum NfL (sNfL) and daily step count (STEPS) from wearable devices were assessed in a large international progressive MS cohort.

Boosted beta regression. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Regression analysis with a bounded outcome is a common problem in applied statistics. Typical examples include regression models for percentage outcomes and the analysis of ratings that are measured on a bounded scale.

Coordinates Distributions in Finite Uniformly Random Networks

IEEE Access, 2022
This work introduces the concept of angular distance distributions of the nodes in a Binomial point process-based model for wireless networks. The need for the derivation of these distributions is motivated by the use of high-frequency bands in the ...

Incident Comorbid Diabetes and Outcomes in Multiple Sclerosis: An English Population‐Based Cohort Study

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To compare the incidence of diabetes mellitus and its associations with hospitalisation and mortality in adults with multiple sclerosis (MS) and matched controls. Methods Using English primary care data from the Clinical Practice Research Datalink, linked to hospital and mortality records, we matched adults with MS with up to 10 ...

A New Extension of the Binomial Error Model for Responses to Items of Varying Difficulty in Educational Testing and Attitude Surveys. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
We put forward a new item response model which is an extension of the binomial error model first introduced by Keats and Lord. Like the binomial error model, the basic latent variable can be interpreted as a probability of responding in a certain way to ...
