Characterizations of Continuous Binomial and Negative Binomial Mixtures
Biometrical Journal, 1984 AbstractCharacterizations are given for binomial (n, ϑ) and negative binomial (k, ϑ) mixtures in terms of the regression function of the mixing random variableYon the mixture variableX.In both casesYis the parameter ϑ and the mixing distribution is a continuous distribution on (0, 1) and on (0, ∞) respectively. Biological applications are indicated.

Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor–Related Myositis and Associated Triad Overlap Syndrome
Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) myositis is a rare but a highly morbid condition, particularly with the ICI myositis triad syndrome of myositis, myocarditis, and myasthenia gravis. We report the clinical characteristics of ICI myositis and all‐cause mortality in these patients.
