Semiparametric inference for the recurrent event process by means of a single-index model [PDF]

, 2014
In this paper, we introduce new parametric and semiparametric regression techniques for a recurrent event process subject to random right censoring. We develop models for the cumula- tive mean function and provide asymptotically normal estimators.

NRASQ61R Expression in Lymphatic Endothelial Cells Causes Enlarged Vessels, Hemorrhagic Chylous Effusions, and High Mortality in a Mouse Model of Kaposiform Lymphangiomatosis

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Kaposiform lymphangiomatosis (KLA) is an aggressive complex lymphatic anomaly. Patients exhibit malformed lymphatic vessels and often develop hemorrhagic effusions and elevated angiopoietin‐2 (Ang‐2) levels. A somatic NRAS p.Q61R (NRASQ61R) mutation has been associated with KLA.

Bandwidth Selection Problem for Nonparametric Regression Model with Right-Censored Data [PDF]

Revista Română de Statistică, 2017
In this paper, the proposed estimator for the unknown nonparametric regression function is a Nadarya-Watson (Nadarya, 1964; Watson, 1964) type kernel estimator. In this estimation procedure, the censored observations are replaced by synthetic data points

Crude Cumulative Incidence in the form of a Horvitz-Thompson like and Kaplan-Meier like Estimator [PDF]

, 2006
The link between the nonparametric estimator of the crude cumulative incidence of a competing risk and the Kaplan-Meier estimator is exploited. The equivalence of the nonparametric crude cumulative incidence to an inverse-probability-of-censoring ...

The Fate (Outcome) of Clinically Apparent Single Lesion and Oligofocal Nephroblastomatosis Treated According to SIOP/GPOH Protocols for Wilms Tumor

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The management of clinically apparent single lesions or oligofocal nephroblastomatosis, a facultative precursor of nephroblastoma, remains debated. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 37 patients with clinically apparent single or oligofocal nephroblastomatosis (two to three lesions per kidney) among 2347 patients registered between

The importance of selecting Bayesian nonparametric survival models: application to the estimation of unemployment durations

المجلة الدولية للأداء الاقتصادي, 2023
The Kaplan-Meier and Fleming-Harrington estimator in the frequentist approach are functional methods. We compare in this article the different Bayesian structures of the Kaplan-Meier and Fleming-Harrington estimators through the information deviance ...

Methods for Improving the Variance Estimator of the Kaplan–Meier Survival Function, When There Is No, Moderate and Heavy Censoring-Applied in Oncological Datasets

Frontiers in Public Health, 2022
In case of heavy and even moderate censoring, a common problem with the Greenwood and Peto variance estimators of the Kaplan–Meier survival function is that they can underestimate the true variance in the left and right tails of the survival distribution.

Feasibility and Safety of High‐Dose Proton Re‐Irradiation in Recurrent Pediatric Central Nervous System Tumors: A Single‐Institution Retrospective Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Pediatric central nervous system (CNS) tumors often recur despite multimodality therapy. Although re‐irradiation (re‐RT) has historically been limited by concerns for severe late toxicities, modern techniques have renewed interest in this approach. Proton therapy provides dosimetric advantages that may enable curative re‐treatment with

Estimating the Survival Distribution for Right-Censored Data with Delayed Ascertainment [PDF]

, 2012
In many clinical trials, patients are not followed continuously. This means their vital status may not be immediately recorded. In such cases, the results from the Kaplan-Meier estimator or the log rank test, popular methods used for survival analysis ...

Transcriptional network analysis of PTEN‐protein‐deficient prostate tumors reveals robust stromal reprogramming and signs of senescent paracrine communication

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Combining PTEN protein assessment and transcriptomic profiling of prostate tumors, we uncovered a network enriched in senescence and extracellular matrix (ECM) programs associated with PTEN loss and conserved in a mouse model. We show that PTEN‐deficient cells trigger paracrine remodeling of the surrounding stroma and this information could help ...
