On the choice of optimality criteria in comparing statistical designs [PDF]

Canadian Journal of Statistics, 1989
AbstractWe formulate in a reasonable sense a class of optimality functionals for comparing feasible statistical designs available in a given setup. It is desired that the optimality functionals reflect symmetric measures of the lack of information contained in the designs being compared.

Therapeutic Apheresis in Nigeria: A Multi‐Center Summary of Abstracts From the Inaugural Nigerian Society for Apheresis Scientific Meeting

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Therapeutic apheresis (TA) is an established treatment modality for hematologic, neurologic, and immunologic disorders, yet access remains severely limited in sub‐Saharan Africa. Donor apheresis, including platelet apheresis collection from healthy donors, represents an important complementary modality supporting blood product ...

Cautions on using the Before-After-Control-Impact design in environmental effects monitoring programs

FACETS, 2017
Often the Before-After-Control-Impact (BACI) design is suggested as being a statistically powerful experimental design in environmental impact studies.

Effectiveness of a Novel Low‐Density Lipoprotein Apheresis Device Rheocarna in Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis With Chronic Limb‐Threatening Ischemia: A Single‐Center Retrospective Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic limb‐threatening ischemia (CLTI) is a severe form of lower‐extremity artery disease characterized by distal lesions and microcirculatory impairment, limiting revascularization efficacy. Rheocarna is a direct hemoperfusion low‐density lipoprotein (LDL) adsorption device with potential rheological and anti‐inflammatory ...

D-optimal designs for Poisson regression models [PDF]

, 2008
We consider the problem of finding an optimal design under a Poisson regression model with a log link, any number of independent variables and an additive linear predictor.

Robust Superimposed Training Designs for MIMO Relaying Systems Under General Power Constraints

IEEE Access, 2019
In this paper, we investigate the superimposed training matrix designs for the channel estimation of amplify-and-forward (AF) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) relaying systems under general power constraints.

Impulsive noise modeling and robust receiver design

EURASIP Journal on Wireless Communications and Networking, 2021
Interference is an important limitation in many communication systems. It has been shown in many situations that the popular Gaussian approximation is not adequate and interference exhibits an impulsive behavior.

Design and Analysis of Optimization Algorithms Using Computational Statistics

Applied Numerical Analysis & Computational Mathematics, 2004
AbstractWe propose a highly flexible sequential methodology for the experimental analysis of optimization algorithms. The proposed technique employs computational statistic methods to investigate the interactions among optimization problems, algorithms, and environments. The workings of the proposed technique are illustrated on the parameterization and

Prognosis of Long‐Term Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy and the Impact of Combined Continuous Intravenous Sodium Infusion Therapy

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Patients requiring long‐term continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) generally have poor prognoses. This study evaluated whether adding continuous intravenous sodium infusion (cIVNa) is associated with improved hemodynamics and outcomes in patients undergoing long‐term CRRT for ≥ 7 days.

Organ‐specific redox imbalances in spinal muscular atrophy mice are partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotides

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We identified a systemic, progressive loss of protein S‐glutathionylation—detected by nonreducing western blotting—alongside dysregulation of glutathione‐cycle enzymes in both neuronal and peripheral tissues of Taiwanese SMA mice. These alterations were partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotide therapy, revealing persistent redox imbalance as ...
