Parent‐to‐Child Information Disclosure in Pediatric Oncology

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Despite professional consensus regarding the importance of open communication with pediatric cancer patients about their disease, actual practice patterns of disclosure are understudied. Extant literature suggests a significant proportion of children are not told about their diagnosis/prognosis, which is purported to negatively ...

Criticality in large-scale brain fMRI dynamics unveiled by a novel point process analysis.

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2012
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) techniques have contributed significantly to our understanding of brain function. Current methods are based on the analysis of gradual and continuous changes in the brain blood oxygenated level dependent ...

Identifying Flow Clusters Based on Density Domain Decomposition

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2020
Flow clustering is one of the most important data mining methods for the analysis of origin-destination (OD) flow data, and it may reveal the underlying mechanisms responsible for the spatial distributions and temporal dynamics of geographical phenomena.

Point Process Models of 1/f Noise and Internet Traffic

open access: yes, 2005
We present a simple model reproducing the long-range autocorrelations and the power spectrum of the web traffic. The model assumes the traffic as Poisson flow of files with size distributed according to the power-law.

Radiotherapy Delivery in Deep Inspiration for Pediatric Patients—Final Results of the Phase II Feasibility Study TEDDI

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction The TEDDI trial tested the feasibility and reproducibility of deep‐inspiration breath‐hold (DIBH) in pediatric patients referred for radiotherapy. This report presents final results, including patient‐reported outcomes (PRO) and dosimetric comparison of DIBH and free‐breathing (FB).

Modelling the Spatial Dependence of Multi‐Species Point Patterns

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
The study of the spatial point patterns in ecology, such as the records of the observed locations of trees, shrubs, nests, burrows, or documented animal presence, relies on multivariate point process models.

Mixed Non-Parametric and Parametric Estimation Techniques in R Package etasFLP for Earthquakes' Description

open access: yesJournal of Statistical Software, 2017
etasFLP is an R package which fits an epidemic type aftershock sequence (ETAS) model to an earthquake catalog; non-parametric background seismicity can be estimated through a forward predictive likelihood approach, while parametric components of ...

A Spatio-Temporal Point Process Model for Ambulance Demand [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Ambulance demand estimation at fine time and location scales is critical for fleet management and dynamic deployment. We are motivated by the problem of estimating the spatial distribution of ambulance demand in Toronto, Canada, as it changes over ...

Prolonged Corrected QT Interval as an Early Electrocardiographic Marker of Cyclophosphamide‐Induced Cardiotoxicity in Pediatric Hematology and Oncology Patients

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Cyclophosphamide (CY) is associated with potentially fatal cardiotoxicity, yet no electrocardiographic indices have been established for early detection of CY‐induced cardiomyopathy. This study aimed to determine whether corrected QT interval (QTc) prolongation can predict early onset of CY‐related cardiac dysfunction in pediatric ...

Improper Priors via Expectation Measures

open access: yesStats
In Bayesian statistics, the prior distributions play a key role in the inference, and there are procedures for finding prior distributions. An important problem is that these procedures often lead to improper prior distributions that cannot be normalized
