Incorporating a Patient Dichotomous Characteristic in Cancer Phase I Clinical Trials Using Escalation with Overdose Control

open access: yesJournal of Probability and Statistics, 2012
We describe a design for cancer phase I clinical trials that takes into account patients heterogeneity thought to be related to treatment susceptibility.

Estimating and Visualizing the Time-varying Effects of a Binary Covariate on Longitudinal Big Text Data [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Networked and Distributed Computing (IJNDC), 2017
We propose a method to estimate and visualize effects of a binary covariate on the longitudinally observed text data. Our method consists of series of analytical methods: extracting keywords through a morphological analysis, estimating the time-varying ...

Timing and Predictive Value of Clinical Conditions Preceding Multiple Sclerosis in the UK Biobank

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Multiple sclerosis (MS) patients often experience a higher incidence of clinical conditions before diagnosis, suggesting a prodromal phase. However, their predictive value and temporal trajectories remain underexplored. We investigated these aspects using the large UK Biobank's population‐based cohort, which provided clinical ...

A novel method based on unbiased correlations tests for covariate selection in nonlinear mixed effects models: The COSSAC approach

open access: yesCPT: Pharmacometrics & Systems Pharmacology, 2021
Building a covariate model is a crucial task in population pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in order to understand the determinants of the interindividual variability. Identifying a good covariate model usually requires many runs. Several procedures

Asymptotic theory for the Cox model with missing time-dependent covariate

open access: yes, 2006
The relationship between a time-dependent covariate and survival times is usually evaluated via the Cox model. Time-dependent covariates are generally available as longitudinal data collected regularly during the course of the study.

COVARIANT QUANTIZATION OF THE SUPERSTRING [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Modern Physics A, 2001
After reviewing the Green-Schwarz superstring using the approach of Siegel, the superstring is covariantly quantized by constructing a BRST operator from the fermionic constraints and a bosonic pure spinor ghost variable. Physical massless vertex operators are constructed and, for the first time, N-point tree amplitudes are computed in a manifestly ...

High‐Efficacy Treatment in Neuromyelitis Optica Specturm Disorder Patients With Seropositive AQP4 Antibodies—A Real‐World Study

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To compare the effectiveness of high‐efficacy treatments (HET) and low‐efficacy treatments (LET) in NMOSD patients with anti‐aquaporin‐4 antibodies (AQP4‐ab). Methods In this multi‐center study, we analyzed 183 AQP4‐ab seropositive NMOSD patients who received immunosuppressive treatments (IST).

Is Adding More Indicators to a Latent Class Analysis Beneficial or Detrimental? Results of a Monte-Carlo Study

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2014
The purpose of this study was to examine in which way adding more indicators or a covariate influences the performance of latent class analysis (LCA). We varied the sample size (100 ≤ N ≤ 2,000), number and quality of binary indicators (between 4 and 12
