Clinical Validation of Plasma p‐217tau in Neurological Diseases
ABSTRACT Objective Plasma p‐217tau is a minimally invasive but specific biomarker for diagnosing Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, its disease specificity remains to be clinically evaluated. We validated the reliability of the p‐217tau biomarker in 12 other neurological diseases.

Objective The objective was to identify factors determining acute arthritis resolution and safety with colchicine and prednisone in acute calcium pyrophosphate (CPP) crystal arthritis. Methods We conducted a post hoc analysis of the COLCHICORT trial, which compared colchicine and prednisone for the treatment of acute CPP crystal arthritis, using a ...

Characteristics of balance disorders in patients with white matter hyperintensities
Objective To explore the features of balance disorders in patients with white matter hyperintensity (WMH). Methods The clinical data of 82 patients with WMH from September 2018 to December 2018 were collected. Fazekas scale was used to evaluate the level

Adaptive orthogonal series estimation in additive stochastic regression models [PDF]
In this paper, we consider additive stochastic nonparametric regression models. By approximating the nonparametric components by a class of orthogonal series and using a generalized cross-validation criterion, an adaptive and simultaneous estimation ...

Nonparametric Independence Screening in Sparse Ultra-High Dimensional Varying Coefficient Models
The varying-coefficient model is an important nonparametric statistical model that allows us to examine how the effects of covariates vary with exposure variables. When the number of covariates is big, the issue of variable selection arrives.

Improving Bayesian Mixture Models for Multiple Imputation of Missing Data Using Focused Clustering
We present a joint modeling approach for multiple imputation of missing continuous and categorical variables using Bayesian mixture models. The approach extends the idea of focused clustering, in which one separates variables into two sets before ...

Nonparametric ridge estimation
We study the problem of estimating the ridges of a density function. Ridge estimation is an extension of mode finding and is useful for understanding the structure of a density. It can also be used to find hidden structure in point cloud data.

Nonparametric Statistical Methods
Nonparametric methods are appropriate when certain assumptions about distributions that common parametric methods make are questionable. In this entry, we review nonparametric statistical tests based on exact or simulated sampling distributions. We also discuss methods for nonparametric data exploration and nonparametric regression and we explain ...
