Circulating Histones in Sepsis: Potential Outcome Predictors and Therapeutic Targets [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 Sepsis is defined as a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Circulating histones (CHs), a group of damage-associated molecular pattern molecules mainly

Discovery of genes positively modulating treatment effect using potential outcome framework and Bayesian update [PDF]
BMC Medical Informatics and Decision Making, 2022 Background The recent explosion of cancer genomics provides extensive information about mutations and gene expression changes in cancer. However, most of the identified gene mutations are not clinically utilized. It remains uncertain whether the presence

With Potential Games, Which Outcome Is Better? [PDF]
Games, 2020 Lower one- or two-dimensional coordination, or potential games, are popularly used to model interactive behavior, such as innovation diffusion and cultural evolution. Typically, this involves determining the “better” of competing solutions.

Using Multiple Imputation to Classify Potential Outcomes Subgroups [PDF]
Statistical Methods in Medical Research, 2020 With medical tests becoming increasingly available, concerns about over-testing, over-treatment and health care cost dramatically increase. Hence, it is important to understand the influence of testing on treatment selection in general practice. Most statistical methods focus on average effects of testing on treatment decisions.

Identifiability and Estimation for Potential-Outcome Means with Misclassified Outcomes
MathematicsPotential outcomes play a fundamental and important role in many causal inference problems. If the potential-outcome means are identifiable, a series of causal effect measures, including the risk difference, the risk ratio, and the treatment benefit rate,

Potential outcome and decision theoretic foundations for statistical causality
Journal of Causal Inference, 2023 In a recent work published in this journal, Philip Dawid has described a graphical causal model based on decision diagrams. This article describes how single-world intervention graphs (SWIGs) relate to these diagrams.

Causation and decision: On Dawid’s “Decision theoretic foundation of statistical causality”
Journal of Causal Inference, 2022 In a recent issue of this journal, Philip Dawid (2021) proposes a framework for causal inference that is based on statistical decision theory and that is, in many aspects, compatible with the familiar framework of causal graphs (e.g., Directed Acyclic ...

Definition and Estimation of Covariate Effect Types in the Context of Treatment Effectiveness
Mathematics, 2020 In some clinical studies, assessing covariate effect types indicating whether a covariate is predictive and/or prognostic is of interest, in addition to the study endpoint. Recently, for a case with a binary outcome, Chiba (Clinical Trials, 2019; 16: 237–
