Outcomes of Live Virus Vaccination in Patients With Vascular Anomalies Being Treated With Sirolimus

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Live vaccination in patients with vascular anomalies (VA) receiving sirolimus remains controversial due to immunosuppressive effects and theoretical risks. Procedure This single‐center retrospective study included patients with VA less than 4 years old at the start of sirolimus therapy who were incompletely vaccinated.

Importance Sampling for Minibatches

open access: yes, 2016
Minibatching is a very well studied and highly popular technique in supervised learning, used by practitioners due to its ability to accelerate training through better utilization of parallel processing power and reduction of stochastic variance. Another popular technique is importance sampling -- a strategy for preferential sampling of more important ...

Hyperdynamics Importance Sampling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Sequential random sampling (‘Markov Chain Monte-Carlo') is a popular strategy for many vision problems involving multimodal distributions over high-dimensional parameter spaces. It applies both to importance sampling (where one wants to sample points according to their ‘importance' for some calculation, but otherwise fairly) and to global optimization (

Faster Coordinate Descent via Adaptive Importance Sampling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Coordinate descent methods employ random partial updates of decision variables in order to solve huge-scale convex optimization problems. In this work, we introduce new adaptive rules for the random selection of their updates.

Pediatric Oncology Nursing Competencies in Latin America and the Caribbean: A Scoping Review to Inform Practice, Education, and Research

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Nurses are central to cancer care for children and adolescents, yet no comprehensive synthesis has defined essential core competencies for pediatric oncology nursing (PON) practice internationally, particularly in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC).

Metropolis‐Hastings Importance Sampling Estimator [PDF]

open access: yesPAMM, 2017
AbstractBased on the proposed states of the Metropolis‐Hastings (MH) algorithm we construct a MH Importance Sampling estimator for the approximation of expectations. The new approximation scheme is asymptotically correct and numerical experiments indicate that it can outperform the classical MH Markov chain Monte Carlo estimator.

An Adaptive Importance Sampling Method Based on Improved MCMC Simulation for Structural Reliability Analysis

open access: yesApplied Sciences
Constructing an effective importance sampling density is crucial for structural reliability analysis via importance sampling (IS), particularly when dealing with performance functions that have multiple design points or disjoint failure domains.

A Concise Transformation Combined With Adaptive Kriging Model for Efficiently Estimating Regional Sensitivity on Failure Probability

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2019
Regional sensitivity on failure probability (RS-FP) can quantify the effect of the input region of interest (IRoI) on the failure probability and provide useful information for reliability based design optimization.

Asymptotically Tight MLD Bounds and Minimum-Variance Importance Sampling Estimator for Linear Block Codes Over BSCs

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2022
In this paper, we re-examine the classical problem of efficiently evaluating the block and bit error rate performance of linear block codes over binary symmetric channels (BSCs).

Pulmonary Dysfunction Is Associated With Sleep Study Abnormalities in Children With Sickle Cell Disease: A Multicenter Study

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Pulmonary dysfunction and sleep abnormalities are common in children with sickle cell disease (SCD) and are associated with worse clinical outcomes. Whether spirometry abnormalities are associated with polysomnography (PSG) findings remains unclear.
