Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Survival in Western Kenya: Reduction in Early Deaths and Treatment Abandonment

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background An earlier study on children diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) at Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital (MTRH) in Kenya reported a low event‐free survival (EFS), excess treatment abandonment, and high induction mortality.

Measuring the Optimality of Hadoop Optimization

CoRR, 2013
In recent years, much research has focused on how to optimize Hadoop jobs. Their approaches are diverse, ranging from improving HDFS and Hadoop job scheduler to optimizing parameters in Hadoop configurations. Despite their success in improving the performance of Hadoop jobs, however, very little is known about the limit of their optimization ...

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

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
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.

An Optimal Preparation for Studying Optimization [PDF]

Neuron, 2000
Imagine a fly navigating through a forest at 2 m/s. In order to correct for the effects of the wind and other flight instabilities, the fly must continually estimate its heading direction if only to avoid running into a tree or inadvertently flying in circles. Given the striking prominence of eyes on a fly's body, it is not surprising that vision plays

Bridging the Gap in Neuroblastoma Care: Consensus‐Based Statements With Recommendations for Improved Patient and Caregiver Experiences

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Neuroblastoma's complex, heterogeneous biology poses significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, often requiring caregivers to absorb complex information and participate in time‐sensitive decisions. However, caregivers often feel unprepared to evaluate options.

On Hierarchical Composite Endpoints in Pediatric Cancer Supportive Care: Illustrative Examples From Two Multi‐Center Phase‐III Randomized Clinical Trials

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pediatric supportive care clinical trials often involve multiple clinically important outcomes, complicating trial interpretation. Hierarchical composite endpoints (HCEs) provide a framework to integrate key outcomes according to clinical importance.

Optimizing Bayesian optimization

, 2018
We are concerned primarily with improving the practical applicability of Bayesian optimization. We make contributions in three key areas. We develop an intuitive online stopping criterion, allowing only as many steps as necessary to achieve the desired target to be taken. By combining this with intelligent online switching between acquisition functions

Optimization

Journal of Research of the National Bureau of Standards, 1985
Most research and development projects require the optimization of a system response as a function of several experimental factors. Familiar chemical examples are the maximization of product yield as a function of reaction time and temperature; the maximization of analytical sensitivity of a wet chemical method as a function of reactant concentration ...

Determining Parental Factors for Clinical Trial Attrition in Pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background/Objectives Despite high enrollment rates on Children's Oncology Group (COG) protocols, attrition after initial consent is challenging, introducing bias and prolonging trial completion. While adult oncology literature has identified predictors of withdrawal, little is known about caregiver decision‐making for child participation in ...
