ABSTRACT Background Osteonecrosis (ON) is a debilitating complication of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) therapy. While numerous studies have explored its incidence and associated risk factors, investigations using large‐scale cohorts remain important to characterize ON across heterogeneous populations.

Poisson regression is used to model count response variables. The method has a strict assumption that the mean and variance of the response variable are equal, while, in practice, the case of overdispersion is common.

Estimators in simple random sampling: Searls approach [PDF]
This paper investigates four new estimators in simple random sampling: biased sample mean, ratio estimator and two linear regression estimators, using known coefficients of variation of the study variable and auxiliary variable. The properties of the new

On Biased Stochastic Gradient Estimation
We present a uniform analysis of biased stochastic gradient methods for minimizing convex, strongly convex, and non-convex composite objectives, and identify settings where bias is useful in stochastic gradient estimation. The framework we present allows us to extend proximal support to biased algorithms, including SAG and SARAH, for the first time in ...

ABSTRACT Background Transfusion‐related iron overload (TRIO) is a late effect of therapy impacting survivors of childhood cancer and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) who receive frequent packed red blood cell (pRBC) transfusions. Surprisingly, there are no accepted guidelines to assist providers in identifying and treating at‐risk ...

Bias in Stabilized Sieve Sampling [PDF]
The stabilized sieve sample selection method (SSM) is considered to be a probability proportional to size (PPS) sampling method with an unbiased estimator (Horgan 1997, 1998). This article demonstrates that SSM does not select items with PPS and that the

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.

Biased Versus Unbiased Estimation
AbstractStatisticians have begun to realize that certain deliberately induced biases can dramatically improve estimation properties when there are several parameters to be estimated. This represents a radical departure from the tradition of unbiased estimation which has dominated statistical thinking since the work of Gauss. We briefly describe the new

ABSTRACT Purpose Malignant rhabdoid tumor of the kidney (MRTK) is a rare, aggressive tumor seen in young children. The optimal timing of resection for locally advanced tumors is not well‐defined. The purpose of this study is to evaluate modern oncologic outcomes and the impact of surgical timing. Methods A multicenter retrospective review was performed
