Quadratic Prediction of Factor Scores

Psychometrika, 1999
Factor scores are naturally predicted by means of their conditional expectation given the indicators y. Under normality this expectation is linear in y but in general it is an unknown function of y. It is discussed that under nonnormality factor scores can be more precisely predicted by a quadratic function of y.

Rhinosporidiosis—Factors predicting disease recurrence

Mycoses, 2021
AbstractBackgroundRhinosporidiosis is a chronic granulomatous disease of the nose caused by Rhinosporidium seeberi. The disease is largely non‐amenable to medical therapy and shows high recurrence rates requiring patients to undergo multiple surgeries often resulting in increased morbidity.ObjectiveTo analyse the epidemiological, clinical ...

Factors predicting food allergy

Environmental Toxicology and Pharmacology, 1997
Prediction of food allergies has not been addressed systematically and to date studies have concentrated on prediction of allergic disorders in a general fashion. The current available data suggests that possibly the best predictor is the combined approach of taking into account the family history together with elevated cord blood IgE. Other indicators,

Factors predicting complications following cranioplasty

Journal of Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery, 2022
This study aimed to identify factors that predict complications following cranioplasty, by conducting a retrospective cohort study at a large tertiary care center. Electronic databases were searched to identify all patients who underwent cranioplasty at our institution.

Factors predicting atracurium reversal time

Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica, 1999
Background: To identify individual factors and combination of factors predictive of reversal time (defined as time from neostigmine administration to train‐of‐four (TOF) ratio 0.70) from atracurium‐induced neuromuscular block, the present study tested the following variables as possible predictors of reversal time: 1) degree of block at the time of ...

FACTORS AFFECTING INDUCTIVE PREDICTIONS

British Journal of Psychology, 1958
Two guessing tasks which appear highly similar in nature nevertheless evoke opposite trends in predictive behaviour. Attempts to generate both sets of results from the same simple principles fail because of the different implicit assumptions the subject makes about the nature of the task. It would seem that one of the assumptions that the subject tends

Predictive genetic testing: Psychological factors

Journal of Psychosomatic Research, 1997
Advances in medical technology such as those linked to the human genome project are increasing the potential for predictive testing for a wide range of health threats. There have not been comparable advances in understanding of the psychological factors involved in such testing.

Factors predictive of difficult colonoscopy

Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, 2001
Prediction of a technically difficult colonoscopy may influence patient selection and procedure scheduling. Identification of predictive factors may be difficult because a common endpoint used to evaluate the success of colonoscopy is intubation of the cecum, which is usually achieved.

Cardiovascular Disease Risk Prediction Factors

JAMA, 2012
To the Editor: The Emerging Risk Factors Collaboration (ERFC) reported on the addition of lipid-related markers to total cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) in the prediction of cardiovascular disease. We attempted to replicate the findings of eTable 1, which summarized the 26 studies that compared apolipoprotein B with the ...

Prognostic and Predictive Factors

2009
Prognostic factors are key elements for medical oncologists to select, among the group of patients with early breast cancer, those who are candidates for an adjuvant treatment based on their risk of tumor relapse. Predictive factors drive the decision of which type(s) of treatment should be given.
