Machine learning advances the integration of covariates in population pharmacokinetic models: Valproic acid as an example

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2022
Background and Aim: Many studies associated with the combination of machine learning (ML) and pharmacometrics have appeared in recent years. ML can be used as an initial step for fast screening of covariates in population pharmacokinetic (popPK) models ...

Exploring the Potential of vis-NIR Spectroscopy as a Covariate in Soil Organic Matter Mapping

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2023
Robust soil organic matter (SOM) mapping is required by farms, but their generation requires a large number of samples to be chemically analyzed, which is cost prohibitive. Recently, research has shown that visible and near-infrared (vis-NIR) reflectance

Incorporating Machine Learning Into Factor Mixture Modeling: Identification of Covariate Interactions to Explain Population Heterogeneity

open access: yesMethodology, 2023
Factor mixture modeling (FMM) has been widely adopted in health and behavioral sciences to examine unobserved population heterogeneity. Covariates are often included in FMM as predictors of the latent class membership via multinomial logistic regression ...

真实世界研究中混杂因素和协变量控制——以脑血管病为例 Control of Confounders and Covariates in Real-World Studies: Cerebrovascular Diseasebased Cases Explanation

open access: yesZhongguo cuzhong zazhi, 2022
真实世界研究由于其研究结果更贴近真实世界,在临床研究领域逐渐受到关注和重视。真实世界研究不是并列于观察性研究和试验性研究的某种特定的研究设计类型,在真实世界研究的数据分析中更需要关注混杂因素和协变量的控制。正确识别混杂因素和协变量以及合理应用统计方法对其进行控制,可有效提高研究结论的准确性和真实性。本文介绍了真实世界研究中混杂因素和协变量控制的常见方法,包括分层分析、协方差分析、多因素回归、倾向性评分、疾病风险评分和工具变量分析等,并结合脑血管病的临床研究应用实例展开分析 ...

Evaluation of discrepancies in spatial distribution of rainfall erosivity in the Czech Republic caused by different approaches using GIS and geostatistical tools

open access: yesSoil and Water Research, 2017
The study presents all approaches of rainfall erosivity factor (R) computation and estimation used in the Czech Republic (CR). A lot of distortions stem from the difference in erosive rainfall criteria, time period, tipping rain gauges errors, low ...
