Covariate adjusted nonparametric methods under propensity analysis

open access: yesFrontiers in Applied Mathematics and Statistics
Propensity score is one of the most commonly used score functions in adjusting for covariates effect in statistical inference. It is important to understand the impact with propensity score in case some of the prespecified covariates are severely ...

Can nutritional label use influence body weight outcomes? [PDF]

open access: yes
Nutritional labeling has been of much interest to policy makers and health advocates due to rising obesity trends. So can nutritional label use really help reduce body weight outcomes?

Estimating the Causal Effects of Marketing Interventions Using Propensity Score Methodology

open access: yes, 2006
Propensity score methods were proposed by Rosenbaum and Rubin [Biometrika 70 (1983) 41--55] as central tools to help assess the causal effects of interventions.

Crucial parameters for precise copy number variation detection in formalin‐fixed paraffin‐embedded solid cancer samples

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study shows that copy number variations (CNVs) can be reliably detected in formalin‐fixed paraffin‐embedded (FFPE) solid cancer samples using ultra‐low‐pass whole‐genome sequencing, provided that key (pre)‐analytical parameters are optimized.

Generalized Propensity Score Matching with Multilevel Treatment Options

open access: yesJournal of Health Economics and Outcomes Research, 2013
# Background Although conventional form of propensity score matching (PSM) is widely used in outcomes research field, its application on multilevel treatment is limited. # Objectives This article reviews PSM and illustrates their use when there are more

Dammarenediol II enhances etoposide‐induced apoptosis by targeting O‐GlcNAc transferase and Akt/GSK3β/mTOR signaling in liver cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Etoposide induces DNA damage, activating p53‐dependent apoptosis via caspase‐3/7, which cleaves PARP1. Dammarenediol II enhances this apoptotic pathway by suppressing O‐GlcNAc transferase activity, further decreasing O‐GlcNAcylation. The reduction in O‐GlcNAc levels boosts p53‐driven apoptosis and influences the Akt/GSK3β/mTOR signaling pathway ...

Propensity Score Matching with Limited Overlap [PDF]

open access: yes
In this article, we have demostrated the application of two newly proposed estimators which accounts for lack of overlap under propensity score matching on a case study involing the analysis of health expenditure data for the United States.

Tumor mutational burden as a determinant of metastatic dissemination patterns

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study performed a comprehensive analysis of genomic data to elucidate whether metastasis in certain organs share genetic characteristics regardless of cancer type. No robust mutational patterns were identified across different metastatic locations and cancer types.

Efficient Estimation of Average Treatment Effects Using the Estimated Propensity Score [PDF]

open access: yes
We are interested in estimating the average effect of a binary treatment on a scalar outcome. If assignment to the treatment is independent of the potential outcomes given pretreatment variables, biases associated with simple treatment-control average ...

What is the Value of Knowing the Propensity Score for Estimating Average Treatment Effects? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Propensity score matching is widely used in treatment evaluation to estimate average treatment effects. Nevertheless, the role of the propensity score is still controversial.
