Construction and Validation of a Preoperative Surgical Difficulty Prediction and Risk Stratification System for Posterior Spinal Deformity Correction Surgery Based on Machine Learning ‐ Multicenter Cohort Study

iMetaMed, EarlyView.
A web calculator, trained on multicenter data with seven Boruta‐selected preoperative features, predicts prolonged operative time for posterior spinal deformity correction to enable individualized planning and optimized operating‐room resources. ABSTRACT Operative duration reflects surgical complexity and is valuable for perioperative planning.

Joint Estimation and Bandwidth Selection in Partially Parametric Models

Journal of Applied Econometrics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We propose a single‐step approach to estimating a model with both a known nonlinear parametric component and an unknown nonparametric component. We study the large sample behavior of a simultaneous optimization routine that estimates both the parameter vector of the parametric component and the bandwidth vector used to smooth the unknown ...
