Multiple Imputation For Missing Ordinal Data [PDF]
Simulations were used to compare complete case analysis of ordinal data with including multivariate normal imputations. MVN methods of imputation were not as good as using only complete cases.

Portable Low‐Field Magnetic Resonance Imaging in People With Human Immunodeficiency Virus
ABSTRACT Objective The aging population of people with HIV (PWH) raises heightened concerns regarding accelerated aging and dementia. Portable, low‐field MRI (LF‐MRI) is an innovative technology that could enhance access and facilitate routine monitoring of PWH.

Regression with Ordered Predictors via Ordinal Smoothing Splines
Many applied studies collect one or more ordered categorical predictors, which do not fit neatly within classic regression frameworks. In most cases, ordinal predictors are treated as either nominal (unordered) variables or metric (continuous) variables ...

An ordinal approach to the measurement of inequality in asset ownership: methodology and an application to Mexican data. [PDF]
Asset indices based on durable goods ownership and housing characteristics are widely used to proxy wealth when income or expenditure data are not available. In this paper, we propose an ordinal approach to using data on assets when estimating the wealth

Variational Bayes Estimation of Discrete-Margined Copula Models with Application to Time Series
We propose a new variational Bayes estimator for high-dimensional copulas with discrete, or a combination of discrete and continuous, margins. The method is based on a variational approximation to a tractable augmented posterior, and is faster than ...

Frailty Exacerbates Disability in Progressive Multiple Sclerosis
ABSTRACT Background To evaluate frailty in severe progressive multiple sclerosis (PMS) and to investigate the underlying mechanisms. Methods This prospective, cross‐sectional, multicenter study enrolled a late severe PMS group requiring skilled nursing (n = 53) and an age, sex, and disease duration‐matched control PMS group (n = 53).

Treatment Effects on Ordinal Outcomes: Causal Estimands and Sharp Bounds
Assessing the causal effects of interventions on ordinal outcomes is an important objective of many educational and behavioral studies. Under the potential outcomes framework, we can define causal effects as comparisons between the potential outcomes ...

Post‐COVID Fatigue Is Associated With Reduced Cortical Thickness After Hospitalization
ABSTRACT Objective Neuropsychiatric symptoms are among the most prevalent sequelae of COVID‐19, particularly among hospitalized patients. Recent research has identified volumetric brain changes associated with COVID‐19. However, it currently remains poorly understood how brain changes relate to post‐COVID fatigue and cognitive deficits.

Multinomial Logit Models with Implicit Variable Selection [PDF]
Multinomial logit models which are most commonly used for the modeling of unordered multi-category responses are typically restricted to the use of few predictors. In the high-dimensional case maximum likelihood estimates frequently do not exist. In this

Association of Corticospinal Tract Asymmetry With Ambulatory Ability After Intracerebral Hemorrhage
ABSTRACT Background Ambulatory ability after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is important to patients. We tested whether asymmetry between ipsi‐ and contra‐lesional corticospinal tracts (CSTs) assessed by diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is associated with post‐ICH ambulation.
