Compositional Causal Identification from Imperfect or Disturbing Observations

Entropy
The usual inputs for a causal identification task are a graph representing qualitative causal hypotheses and a joint probability distribution for some of the causal model’s variables when they are observed rather than intervened on.

Emergence of global synchronization in directed excitatory networks of type I neurons

Scientific Reports, 2020
The collective behaviour of neural networks depends on the cellular and synaptic properties of the neurons. The phase-response curve (PRC) is an experimentally obtainable measure of cellular properties that quantifies the shift in the next spike time of ...

Constructing Structural VAR Models with Conditional Independence Graphs [PDF]

In this paper graphical modelling is used to select a sparse structure for a multivariate time series model of New Zealand interest rates. In particular, we consider a recursive structural vector autoregressions that can subsequently be described ...

Complication Rates Associated With Evolving Practice Patterns in Vasopressor Use and Fluid Administration for Oral Cavity Cancer Free Flap Reconstruction

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The safety of vasopressors for managing intraoperative hypotension remains debated. This study evaluated complications associated with vasopressor use and fluid administration in oral cavity cancer free flap surgery. Methods Retrospective review of 826 patients who received oral cavity cancer free flap reconstruction from 2008 to ...

Moment Priors for Bayesian Model Choice with Applications to Directed Acyclic Graphs [PDF]

We propose a new method for the objective comparison of two nested models based on non-local priors. More specifically, starting with a default prior under each of the two models, we construct a moment prior under the larger model, and then use the ...

Fetal growth trajectories and neonatal outcomes: A French population‐based study

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective This study assesses whether fetal growth trajectories are associated with neonatal outcomes. Methods The study population included 8537 singleton liveborn infants from the 2021 French National Perinatal Survey. Fetal growth trajectories were assessed between second and third trimester routine ultrasounds and between the third ...

Objective Bayes Factors for Gaussian Directed Acyclic Graphical Models [PDF]

We propose an objective Bayesian method for the comparison of all Gaussian directed acyclic graphical models defined on a given set of variables. The method, which is based on the notion of fractional Bayes factor, requires a single default (typically ...

Effect of four or more prenatal care contacts on healthcare seeking for immediate postpartum complications in Ethiopia: A propensity score matching analysis

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To examine the effect of four or more prenatal care (PNC) contacts on healthcare‐seeking behavior (HSB) for immediate postpartum complications (IPPC) in Ethiopia. Methods We used data from the Performance Monitoring for Action Ethiopia longitudinal surveys of baseline and 6‐week postpartum surveys conducted between 2019 and 2020.

Association of a single prior cesarean delivery with adverse birth outcomes at a tertiary referral hospital in southwestern Uganda: A secondary analysis of four observational studies

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Prior cesarean delivery (CD) is a leading indication for repeat CD and a key driver of rising cesarean rates in Sub‐Saharan Africa. Evidence on associations between prior CD and adverse outcomes in low‐resource settings remains limited.
