M-Estimators Converging to a Stable Limit [PDF]
, 2000 We discuss the asymptotic linearization of multivariate M-estimators, when the limit distribution is stable. We consider two different types of kernels: VC and bracketing.

ASSIST: Refinement of a Benefits Navigator Intervention Among Low‐Income Pediatric Oncology Families
Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background/Objectives Children with cancer living in poverty experience worse survival and quality of life. Interventions connecting low‐income families to benefits (e.g., Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program [SNAP] improve health outcomes; yet nearly 50% of SNAP‐eligible pediatric oncology families are unenrolled.

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) is one of the most treatable forms of paediatric cancer; however, there is a substantial burden of treatment‐related toxicities (TRTs). In addition, the long‐term changes in children's health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) due to toxic treatments are not well understood.

Robust Särndal-Type Mean Estimators with Re-Descending Coefficients
AxiomsWhen extreme values or outliers occur in asymmetric datasets, conventional mean estimation methods suffer from low accuracy and reliability. This study introduces a novel class of robust Särndal-type mean estimators utilizing re-descending M-estimator ...

Immunoglobulin Depletion and Recovery Following Blinatumomab in Infants With KMT2A‐Rearranged ALL
Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Adding blinatumomab to standard chemotherapy for infants with KMT2A‐rearranged acute B‐cell lymphoblastic leukemia (KMT2A‐r B‐ALL) improves outcomes. Although blinatumomab impairs immunoglobulin G (lgG) production, increasing infection susceptibility, IgG recovery remains poorly understood.

Impact of Metastatic Patterns on Survival and Response to Therapy in Neuroblastoma
Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background While the presence of metastases in neuroblastoma (NB) is a well‐established prognostic factor, the clinical significance of dissemination patterns and tumour burden and their impact on response and survival remains poorly understood.
