Maximum Allowable Contrast Dose and Risk of Acute Kidney Injury After Coronary Procedures
ABSTRACT Background Recent studies have questioned whether iodinated contrast is causally related to acute kidney injury (AKI). AIM We pursed a contemporary analysis to determine the impact of contrast dose on AKI following coronary procedures in an era of lower contrast doses and less nephrotoxic agents.

Copula‐based joint modelling of emergency department visits with time‐varying dependence
Abstract Jointly modelling multiple correlated count time series is essential in health services research, where outcomes like emergency visits for mental health and substance use often evolve together. Ignoring these dependencies can obscure meaningful trends and limit the effectiveness of policy evaluation.

Hierarchical Archimedean Copulas for MATLAB and Octave: The HACopula Toolbox
To extend the current implementation of copulas in MATLAB to non-elliptical distributions in arbitrary dimensions enabling for asymmetries in the tails, the toolbox HACopula provides functionality for modeling with hierarchical (or nested) Archimedean ...

On Kendall's Tau for Order Statistics
Every copula $ C $ for a random vector $ {\bf X}=(X_1,\dots,X_d) $ with identically distributed coordinates determines a unique copula $ C_{:d} $ for its order statistic $ {\bf X}_{:d}=(X_{1:d},\dots,X_{d:d}) $. In the present paper we study the dependence structure of $ C_{:d} $ via Kendall's tau, denoted by $ κ$. As a general result, we show that $ κ[

Vine copula knockoffs for variable selection in gene expression studies
Abstract Identifying clinical and genetic markers is essential for stratifying cancer patients by survival outcomes and guiding personalized treatment strategies. However, gene expression studies often involve high‐dimensional predictors with mixed data types and complex dependence, which complicates reliable variable selection.

Abstract Background The notochord is a midline structure essential for vertebrate embryogenesis, contributing to the development of the nervous system, digestive tract, and vertebral column. In particular, notochord signaling is indispensable for proper patterning and coordinated development of alternating vertebrae and intervertebral discs (IVDs ...

Complex Versus Parsimonious Site‐Based Stochastic Ground Motion Models: Which One Is Better?
ABSTRACT Stochastic ground motion models (GMMs) provide a probabilistic representation of seismic input and are increasingly important for uncertainty quantification (UQ) in earthquake engineering. This study focuses on site‐based stochastic GMMs, which learn the statistical features of selected datasets of seismic records and generate statistically ...

Parameters behind "nonparametric" statistics: Kendall's tau,Somers' D and median differences [PDF]
So-called "nonparametric" statistical methods are often in fact based on population parameters, which can be estimated (with confidence limits) using the corresponding sample statistics.

Impact of evidence‐based information on horse owners' misconceptions of colic
Abstract Background Misconceptions can be defined as ‘false, persistent beliefs’ or ‘inaccurate, prior knowledge’ and can influence decision‐making. Objectives To investigate the impact of evidence‐based information on UK horse owners' decision‐making for colic. Study Design Mixed‐methods cross‐sectional study.
