A Bayesian natural cubic B-spline varying coefficient method for non-ignorable dropout

BMC Medical Research Methodology, 2020
Background Dropout is a common problem in longitudinal clinical trials and cohort studies, and is of particular concern when dropout occurs for reasons that may be related to the outcome of interest. This paper reviews common parametric models to account

On the pitfalls of Gaussian likelihood scoring for causal discovery

Journal of Causal Inference, 2023
We consider likelihood score-based methods for causal discovery in structural causal models. In particular, we focus on Gaussian scoring and analyze the effect of model misspecification in terms of non-Gaussian error distribution. We present a surprising

Non-parametric models in the monitoring of engine performance and condition: Part 1: modelling of non-linear engine processes [PDF]

, 1999
This paper proposes the use of radial basis function (RBF) networks in the modelling of non-linear engine processes. A pertinent application of such a model is the reconstruction of cylinder pressure based upon the instantaneous angular velocity of the ...

Ovarian Sex Cord Stromal Tumors in Children and Adolescents—The European Standard Clinical Practice Recommendations

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As part of the European Cooperative Study Group for Paediatric Rare Tumours initiative, we developed standard clinical practice guidelines for ovarian sex cord stromal tumors, based on comprehensive national and international cohort analyses, literature review, and a final expert consensus conference.

Bayesian non-parametrics and the probabilistic approach to modelling [PDF]

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2013
Modelling is fundamental to many fields of science and engineering. A model can be thought of as a representation of possible data one could predict from a system. The probabilistic approach to modelling uses probability theory to express all aspects of uncertainty in the model.

Pediatric Idiopathic Multicentric Castleman Disease Is Often Severe But Responsive to Siltuximab

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease (iMCD) is a potentially fatal immunologic disorder marked by widespread lymphadenopathy and inflammation. Siltuximab, an interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) inhibitor, is the only FDA‐approved treatment for adult patients with iMCD.

Performance Comparison of Parametric and Non-Parametric Regression Models for Uncertainty Analysis of Sheet Metal Forming Processes

Metals, 2020
This work aims to compare the performance of various parametric and non-parametric metamodeling techniques when applied to sheet metal forming processes. For this, the U-Channel and the Square Cup forming processes were studied.

Non-Parametric Generalized Additive Models as a Tool for Evaluating Policy Interventions

Mathematics, 2021
The interrupted time series analysis is a quasi-experimental design used to evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention. Segmented linear regression models have been the most used models to carry out this analysis.

Biphasic Clinical Course of Pediatric Cytomegalovirus‐Associated Immune Thrombocytopenia: Early Poor Treatment Response but Favorable Long‐Term Outcomes

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a recognized trigger of immune thrombocytopenia (ITP); however, its incidence and impact on disease course in children remain controversial. Therefore, we aimed to characterize the clinical course of pediatric patients with CMV‐associated ITP.
