Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background and Aims Infant bone and soft tissue neoplasms present distinct clinical challenges and lack large‐scale data to inform treatment decisions. This study aims to characterize bone and soft tissue neoplasms in infants in Canada and to compare their outcomes with those of older pediatric patients.

Mahalanobis balancing: A multivariate perspective on approximate covariate balancing
Scandinavian Journal of StatisticsAbstractIn the past decade, various exact balancing‐based weighting methods were introduced to the causal inference literature. It eliminates covariate imbalance by imposing balancing constraints in a certain optimization problem, which can nevertheless be infeasible when there is bad overlap between the covariate distributions in the treated and ...

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an established home‐based kidney replacement therapy (KRT), but its uptake remains low in Japan. We evaluated whether individualized education in a dedicated outpatient clinic was associated with the initiation of PD.

BMC Medical Research Methodology, 2017 Background Double-adjustment can be used to remove confounding if imbalance exists after propensity score (PS) matching. However, it is not always possible to include all covariates in adjustment.

Covariate-assisted Sparse Tensor Completion
, 2022 We aim to provably complete a sparse and highly-missing tensor in the presence of covariate information along tensor modes. Our motivation comes from online advertising where users’ click-through-rates (CTR) on ads over various devices form a CTR tensor ...

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an

BMC Medical Research MethodologyBackground Cluster randomized trials (CRTs) require balanced baseline covariates to yield unbiased estimates of treatment effects. Existing approaches such as constrained randomization can improve balance but may compromise allocation randomness.

Optimal refinement of strata to balance covariates
BiometricsAbstract What is the best way to split one stratum into two to maximally reduce the within-stratum imbalance in many covariates? We formulate this as an integer program and approximate the solution by randomized rounding of a linear program. A linear program may assign a fraction of a person to each refined stratum.
