A weakly informative default prior distribution for logistic and other regression models [PDF]

, 2008
We propose a new prior distribution for classical (nonhierarchical) logistic regression models, constructed by first scaling all nonbinary variables to have mean 0 and standard deviation 0.5, and then placing independent Student-t prior distributions on ...

Analysis of logistic growth models [PDF]

, 2001
A variety of growth curves have been developed to model both unpredated, intraspecific population dynamics and more general biological growth. Most successful predictive models are shown to be based on extended forms of the classical Verhulst logistic ...

The zinc finger domains of PARP‐1 are selectively and potently inhibited by the Au(I)‐based drugs sodium aurothiomalate and aurothioglucose

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
PARP‐1 is a key enzyme in the DNA damage response, and its inhibition induces cancer cell death via synthetic lethality. Au(I)‐based drugs, such as aurothioglucose and sodium aurothiomalate, block PARP‐1's DNA‐dependent activity by targeting its zinc finger domains.

Prediction of in-hospital adverse clinical outcomes in patients with pulmonary thromboembolism, machine learning based models

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
BackgroundPulmonary thromboembolism (PE) is the third leading cause of cardiovascular events. The conventional modeling methods and severity risk scores lack multiple laboratories, paraclinical and imaging data.
