Application of SHAP values for inferring the optimal functional form of covariates in pharmacokinetic modeling. [PDF]
CPT Pharmacometrics Syst Pharmacol, 2022 In population pharmacokinetic (PK) models, interindividual variability is explained by implementation of covariates in the model. The widely used forward stepwise selection method is sensitive to bias, which may lead to an incorrect inclusion of ...

The functional form of value normalization in human reinforcement learning [PDF]
eLife, 2023 Reinforcement learning research in humans and other species indicates that rewards are represented in a context-dependent manner. More specifically, reward representations seem to be normalized as a function of the value of the alternative options.

Does the Functional Form of the Association Between Education and Mortality Differ by U.S. Region? [PDF]
Biodemography Soc Biol, 2018 To understand the education–mortality association among U.S. adults, recent studies have documented its national functional form. However, the functional form of education–mortality relationship may vary across geographic contexts. The four U.S.

On the Functional Form of Temporal Discounting: An Optimized Adaptive Test. [PDF]
J Risk Uncertain, 2016 The tendency to discount the value of future rewards has become one of the best-studied constructs in the behavioral sciences. Although hyperbolic discounting remains the dominant quantitative characterization of this phenomenon, a variety of models have

On the functional form of the metallicity-giant planet correlation [PDF]
, 2013 It is generally accepted that the presence of a giant planet is strongly dependent on the stellar metallicity. A stellar mass dependence has also been investigated, but this dependence does not seem as strong as the metallicity dependence.

Educational attainment and adult mortality in the United States: a systematic analysis of functional form. [PDF]
Demography, 2012 A vast literature has documented the inverse association between educational attainment and U.S. adult mortality risk but given little attention to identifying the optimal functional form of the association.

Functional form estimation using oblique projection matrices for LS-SVM regression models. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2019 Kernel regression models have been used as non-parametric methods for fitting experimental data. However, due to their non-parametric nature, they belong to the so-called "black box" models, indicating that the relation between the input variables and ...
