Modelling Extreme Multivariate Events

Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series B: Statistical Methodology, 1991
SUMMARY The classical treatment of multivariate extreme values is through componentwise ordering, though in practice most interest is in actual extreme events. Here the point process of observations which are extreme in at least one component is considered.

Predicting Chronicity in Children and Adolescents With Newly Diagnosed Immune Thrombocytopenia at the Timepoint of Diagnosis Using Machine Learning‐Based Approaches

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives To identify predictors of chronic ITP (cITP) and to develop a model based on several machine learning (ML) methods to estimate the individual risk of chronicity at the timepoint of diagnosis. Methods We analyzed a longitudinal cohort of 944 children enrolled in the Intercontinental Cooperative immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) Study ...
