Nonlinear sequential designs for logistic item response theory models with applications to computerized adaptive tests

, 2009
Computerized adaptive testing is becoming increasingly popular due to advancement of modern computer technology. It differs from the conventional standardized testing in that the selection of test items is tailored to individual examinee's ability level.

Risk Prediction Models for Recurrence After Curative Treatment of Early‐Stage or Locally Advanced Lung Cancer: A Systematic Review

Aging and Cancer, EarlyView.
This systematic review synthesizes prognostic models for survival and recurrence in resected non‐small cell lung cancer. While many models demonstrate moderate to good discrimination, few are externally validated and reporting quality is variable, limiting clinical applicability and highlighting the need for robust, transparent model development ...

Group descent algorithms for nonconvex penalized linear and logistic regression models with grouped predictors

, 2013
Penalized regression is an attractive framework for variable selection problems. Often, variables possess a grouping structure, and the relevant selection problem is that of selecting groups, not individual variables. The group lasso has been proposed as

Exploratory Analysis of ELP1 Expression in Whole Blood From Patients With Familial Dysautonomia

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Familial dysautonomia (FD) is a hereditary neurodevelopmental disorder caused by aberrant splicing of the ELP1 gene, leading to a tissue‐specific reduction in ELP1 protein expression. Preclinical models indicate that increasing ELP1 levels can mitigate disease manifestations.

Association of Corticospinal Tract Asymmetry With Ambulatory Ability After Intracerebral Hemorrhage

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Ambulatory ability after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is important to patients. We tested whether asymmetry between ipsi‐ and contra‐lesional corticospinal tracts (CSTs) assessed by diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is associated with post‐ICH ambulation.

The extreme residuals in logistic regression models [PDF]

, 1985
Goodness of fit tests for logistic regression models using extreme residuals are considered. Moment properties of the Pearson residuals are developed and used to define modified residuals, for the cases when the model fit is made by maximum ...

Factors Influencing Satisfaction with Patient-Controlled Analgesia Among Postoperative Patients Using a Generalized Ordinal Logistic Regression Model

Asian Nursing Research, 2020
Summary: Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the factors affecting the satisfaction with patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) of patients using a generalized ordinal logistic regression model and to evaluate the difference in results of the
