CORRELATION OF TOTAL LYMPHOCYTE COUNT WITH CD4 COUNT IN HIV/TB COINFECTED PATIENTS [PDF]
INDONESIAN JOURNAL OF CLINICAL PATHOLOGY AND MEDICAL LABORATORY, 2019 HIV-TB co-infection is a global challenge in the healthcare world. HIV infection causes CD4 to decrease which has a role in TB immunity. CD4 as a marker for HIV progression have expensive cost and not available in all healthcare facilities, so WHO recommended TLC as a substitute for CD4.

Backward estimation of stochastic processes with failure events as time origins [PDF]
Annals of Applied Statistics 2010, Vol. 4, No. 3, 1602-1620, 2010 Stochastic processes often exhibit sudden systematic changes in pattern a short time before certain failure events. Examples include increase in medical costs before death and decrease in CD4 counts before AIDS diagnosis. To study such terminal behavior of stochastic processes, a natural and direct way is to align the processes using failure events as ...

Dynamic model of HIV infection with immune system response of T-lymphocytes, B-cells and dendritic cells: a review [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 A dynamic model of non-lineal time-dependent ordinary differential equations (ODE) has been applied to the interactions of a HIV infection with the immune system cells. This model has been simplified into two compartments: lymph node and peripheral blood.

Semiparametric counterfactual density estimation [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Causal effects are often characterized with averages, which can give an incomplete picture of the underlying counterfactual distributions. Here we consider estimating the entire counterfactual density and generic functionals thereof. We focus on two kinds of target parameters.
