Conditionally conjugate mean-field variational Bayes for logistic models

, 2018
Variational Bayes (VB) is a common strategy for approximate Bayesian inference, but simple methods are only available for specific classes of models including, in particular, representations having conditionally conjugate constructions within an ...

Paramagnetic Rim Lesions Are Associated With Trans‐Synaptic Degeneration of the Visual Pathway in Multiple Sclerosis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Retrograde trans‐synaptic degeneration (rTSD) from posterior visual pathway lesions in multiple sclerosis (MS) is characterized by hemi‐macular ganglion cell‐inner plexiform layer (GCIPL) thinning and contralateral visual field loss.

Odds Exponential Log Logistic Distribution: Properties and Estimation [PDF]

Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, 2017
We propose a distribution called Odds Exponential Log Logistic Distribution (OELLD), which is an odds family of distribution. Its hazard rate is an increasing and decreasing function based on the value of the parameter. Explicit expressions for the ordinary moments, L-moments, quantile, generating functions, Bonferroni Curve, Lorenz Curve, Gini's index

Preferences for post‐traumatic osteoarthritis prevention strategies in individuals with anterior cruciate ligament injury

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objectives There is growing interest in evaluating new strategies to delay or prevent post‐traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) in individuals who have sustained anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. This study sought to determine characteristics of potential treatments that are acceptable to patients with ACL injury.

Financial Distress and Its Determinants in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective To quantify the degree of financial distress and identify its determinants in adults with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) given the frequent prolonged use of expensive disease‐modifying therapies. Methods We identified adults enrolled in the FORWARD databank with either RA or noninflammatory musculoskeletal disease (NIMSKD) completing the ...

Mean Survival Time from Right Censored Data [PDF]

, 2009
A nonparametric estimate of the mean survival time can be obtained as the area under the Kaplan-Meier estimate of the survival curve. A common modification is to change the largest observation to a death time if it is censored.

MYCOPHENOLATE MOFETIL TREATMENT REDUCES THE RISK OF TREATMENT ESCALATION DUE TO VASCULAR COMPLICATIONS IN LIMITED CUTANEOUS SYSTEMIC SCLEROSIS: EMULATION OF A TARGET TRIAL FROM ITALIAN RHEUMATOLOGY SOCIETY SPRING REGISTRY

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objective Mycophenolate Mofetil (MMF) use in limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis (lcSSc) is relatively uncommon due to the lower fibrotic burden and the predominance of the vascular complications. In vitro observations and clinical data from transplanted patients suggest a protective effect of MMF on endothelial function.

Kumaraswamy log-logistic Weibull distribution: model, theory and application to lifetime and survival data

Heliyon, 2019
We develop the new Kumaraswamy Log-Logistic Weibull (KLLoGW) distribution by combining the Kumaraswamy and Log-logistic Weibull distributions. This new model is flexible for modelling lifetime data. Some statistical properties including quantile function,

Thompson Sampling in Dynamic Systems for Contextual Bandit Problems [PDF]

, 2013
We consider the multiarm bandit problems in the timevarying dynamic system for rich structural features. For the nonlinear dynamic model, we propose the approximate inference for the posterior distributions based on Laplace Approximation. For the context
