Bayesian Estimation Improves Prediction of Outcomes After Epilepsy Surgery

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We estimated the statistical power of studies predicting seizure freedom after epilepsy surgery. We extracted data from a Cochrane meta‐analysis. The median power across all studies was 14%. Studies with a median sample size or less (n ≤ 56) and a statistically significant result exaggerated the true effect size by a factor of 5.4, while the ...

Research on error control method for polynomial approximation based on equal amplitude oscillation theorem

Frontiers in Applied Mathematics and Statistics
To address the issue that polynomial approximation methods strongly depend on the analytical form of the objective function, this study proposes a new minimax polynomial approximation method based on the Chebyshev equioscillation theorem.

A Novel Systematic Error Compensation Algorithm Based on Least Squares Support Vector Regression for Star Sensor Image Centroid Estimation

Sensors, 2011
The star centroid estimation is the most important operation, which directly affects the precision of attitude determination for star sensors. This paper presents a theoretical study of the systematic error introduced by the star centroid estimation ...

Effects of Biological Sex and Age on Cerebrospinal Fluid Markers—A Retrospective Observational Study

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis is a key diagnostic tool for neurological diseases. To date, only a few studies have investigated in larger cohorts the effect of age and biological sex on diagnostic markers extracted from CSF. Methods For this retrospective observational study, 4163 CSF findings (2012–2020) were evaluated.

Continuous and discrete least-squares approximation by radial basis functions on spheres

Journal of Approximation Theory, 2006
Let \(S^n\) be the \(n\)-dimensional sphere in \(\mathbb R^n\) and \(A=\{U_j,\psi_j\}_{j=1}^m\) be an atlas for \(S^n\), i.e. open sets \(U_j\subset S^n\) cover \(S^n\), \(\psi_j\) are homeomorphic from \(U_j\) to the unit ball \(B(0,1)\subset \mathbb R^n\) and \(\psi_i\circ \psi_j^{-1}\) are \(C^{\infty}\) on \(\psi_j(U_j\cap U_i)\). Let \(\{\chi_j\}_{

Remote Assessment of Ataxia Severity in SCA3 Across Multiple Centers and Time Points

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3) is a genetically defined ataxia. The Scale for Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA) is a clinician‐reported outcome that measures ataxia severity at a single time point. In its standard application, SARA fails to capture short‐term fluctuations, limiting its sensitivity in trials.

Stable and Accurate Least Squares Radial Basis Function Approximations on Bounded Domains

SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis
The computation of global radial basis function (RBF) approximations requires the solution of a linear system which, depending on the choice of RBF parameters, may be ill-conditioned. We study the stability and accuracy of approximation methods using the Gaussian RBF in all scaling regimes of the associated shape parameter.

Neuroinflammation in GAD65 Antibody‐Associated Epilepsy Measured Using [18F]DPA‐714 PET/MRI

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The timing for initiating immunotherapy in patients with glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 (GAD65) antibody‐associated epilepsy is a challenge. We used the translocator protein radioligand [18F]DPA‐714 and PET to evaluate brain microglial activation.

Value of MRI Outcomes for Preventive and Early‐Stage Trials in Spinocerebellar Ataxias 1 and 3

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To examine the value of MRI outcomes as endpoints for preventive and early‐stage trials of two polyglutamine spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs). Methods A cohort of 100 participants (23 SCA1, 63 SCA3, median Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA) score = 5, 42% preataxic, and 14 gene‐negative controls) was scanned at 3T up ...

Numerical Implementation of Meshless Methods for Beam Problems

Archives of Civil Engineering, 2012
For solving a partial different equation by a numerical method, a possible alternative may be either to use a mesh method or a meshless method. A flexible computational procedure for solving 1D linear elastic beam problems is presented that currently ...
