From Values to Opinions: Predicting Human Behaviors and Stances Using Value-Injected Large Language Models [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
Being able to predict people's opinions on issues and behaviors in realistic scenarios can be helpful in various domains, such as politics and marketing. However, conducting large-scale surveys like the European Social Survey to solicit people's opinions on individual issues can incur prohibitive costs.

Is Genetic Testing of Value in Predicting and Treating Obesity? [PDF]

open access: yesNorth Carolina Medical Journal, 2013
Obesity is a multifactorial disease resulting from the interaction between genetic factors and lifestyle. Identification of rare genetic variations with strong effects on obesity has been useful in diagnosing and designing personalized therapy for early-onset or syndromic obesity.

Comparison of kinship‐identification methods for robust stock assessment using close‐kin mark–recapture data for Pacific bluefin tuna

open access: yesPopulation Ecology, EarlyView.
In this study, we compared three methods for kinship identification using different algorithms in samples of wild Pacific bluefin tuna and generated genotyping data. The three methods resulted in different numbers of inferred kinship pairs for both generated and actual data. Particularly for the half‐sibling pairs, considerable number of false‐positive

Derivation of Generalized Equations for the Predictive Value of Sequential Screening Tests [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2020
Using Bayes' Theorem, we derive generalized equations to determine the positive and negative predictive value of screening tests undertaken sequentially. Where a is the sensitivity, b is the specificity, $\phi$ is the pre-test probability, the combined positive predictive value, $\rho(\phi)$, of $n$ serial positive tests, is described by: $\rho(\phi)

Inference in Predictive Quantile Regressions [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
This paper studies inference in predictive quantile regressions when the predictive regressor has a near-unit root. We derive asymptotic distributions for the quantile regression estimator and its heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation consistent (HAC) t-statistic in terms of functionals of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes.

Estimating predictive value of tests without having a Gold Standard: the concept of Etiologic Predictive Value (EPV) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Background: Patients with infectious diseases often require the use of microbiologic diagnostic tests. Predictive value of tests are used to describe the usefulness of a diagnostic test in a specific setting.

Prediction of awakening from hypothermic post anoxic coma based on auditory discrimination. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
OBJECTIVE: Most of the available clinical tests for prognosis of post-anoxic coma are informative of poor outcome. Previous work has shown that an improvement in auditory discrimination over the first days of coma is predictive of awakening.

The Prevalence and Predictive Value of Abnormal Preoperative Laboratory Tests in Elderly Surgical Patients

open access: yesAnesthesia and Analgesia, 2001
Because data to determine which preoperative laboratory tests are important in elderly surgical patients are limited, we performed a prospective cohort study to evaluate the prevalence and predictive value of abnormal preoperative laboratory tests in ...
