Wiggles and Curves: The Analysis of Ordinal Patterns
Almost all social science data are analysed with variants of the General Linear Model (GLM): regression analyses, analyses of variance, factor analyses, path analyses and the like.

BACKGROUND:Many methods of spatial smoothing have been developed, for both point data as well as areal data. In Bayesian spatial models, this is achieved by purposefully designed prior(s) or smoothing functions which smooth estimates towards a local or ...

ABSTRACT Purpose Patient activation—encompassing knowledge, confidence, and skills in managing individual's health—is a cornerstone of person‐centered care. However, its significance among childhood, adolescent, and young adult cancer survivors (CAYACS) remains unexplored. This article examines the application of the 13‐item Patient Activation Measure (

Measuring the Quality of Multivariate Statistical Models
Assessing the quality of a statistical model is very important, since it is crucial for the utility of the modelling process’ outcome. There are many different ways of measuring statistical models quality.

A Goodness-of-Fit Test Based on Fuzzy Random Variables
During the last decades, several methods have been proposed for Kolmogorov−Smirnov one-sample test based on fuzzy random variables to describe the impression of classical random variables. However, such techniques do not discuss the modeling of imprecise

ABSTRACT Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor in early childhood. Its clinical behavior is highly variable, ranging from spontaneous regression to fatal outcome despite intensive treatment. The International Society of Pediatric Oncology Europe Neuroblastoma Group (SIOPEN) Radiology and Nuclear Medicine Specialty Committees ...

A note on goodness of fit test using moments
The purpose of this article is to introduce a general moment-based approach to derive formal goodness of fit tests of a parametric family. We show that, in general, an approximate normal test or a chi-squared test can be derived by exploring the moment ...

ABSTRACT Introduction Adolescent siblings of children with cancer are at elevated risk for psychosocial problems. Unfortunately, various barriers such as limited family time and resources, conflicting schedules, and psychosocial staffing constraints at cancer centers hinder sibling access to support.

The Information Geometry of Sparse Goodness-of-Fit Testing
This paper takes an information-geometric approach to the challenging issue of goodness-of-fit testing in the high dimensional, low sample size context where—potentially—boundary effects dominate. The main contributions of this paper are threefold: first,

Clinical Course and Impact of Breaks in Therapy for Children With Relapsed/Refractory Solid Tumors
ABSTRACT Introduction Pediatric relapsed or refractory (R/R) solid tumors carry a dismal prognosis, and postrelapse patient experiences are not well described. We present postrelapse outcomes, including number of R/R events and subsequent therapy regimens.
