ASSIST: Refinement of a Benefits Navigator Intervention Among Low‐Income Pediatric Oncology Families
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.

Jackknifing Maximum Likelihood Estimates
This paper proves the apparently outstanding conjecture that the maximum likelihood estimate (m.l.e.) "behaves properly" when jackknifed. In particular, under the usual Cramer conditions (1) the jackknifed version of the consistent root of the m.l.

Some Useful Matrix Derivatives with Statistical Applications in Econometrics [PDF]
In this paper we present some useful results in matrix calculus which will be used in econometrics. As an application of these results an iterative instrumental variable estimator (IVE) interpretation will be introduced and given for the maximum ...

Natural Killer Cells in Paediatric Soft Tissue Sarcomas: A Systematic Review
ABSTRACT Paediatric soft tissue sarcomas (pSTS) are a rare and heterogeneous group of malignant tumours arising in tissues of mesenchymal origin. The role of natural killer (NK) cells in pSTS remains poorly understood, with evidence fragmented across small preclinical studies and early‐phase clinical trials.

A note on the maximum likelihood estimator in the gamma regression model [PDF]
This paper considers a nonlinear regression model, in which the dependent variable has the gamma distribution. A model is considered in which the shape parameter of the random variable is the sum of continuous and algebraically independent functions. The
