Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective Although the definition of a gout flare is well established, the state of gout flare resolution has not yet been defined. This study aimed to explore patients’ experiences and perceptions of gout flare resolution. Methods Semistructured interviews were conducted with 24 people with gout, guided by open‐ended questions exploring their ...

Local rank tests in a multivariate nonparametric relationship [PDF]
Consider a multivariate nonparametric model where the unknown vector of functions depends on two sets of explanatory variables. For a fixed level of one set of explanatory variables, we provide consistent statistical tests, called local rank tests, to ...

The most representative composite rank ordering of multi-attribute objects by the particle swarm optimization [PDF]
Rank-ordering of individuals or objects on multiple criteria has many important practical applications. A reasonably representative composite rank ordering of multi-attribute objects/individuals or multi-dimensional points is often obtained by the ...

Caregiver Perspectives on the Burden of Disease and Treatment in Uncontrolled Gout
Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective Uncontrolled gout (UG) refers to persistently elevated serum urate (SU) levels >6 mg/dL and ongoing gout symptoms despite use of urate‐lowering therapy (ULT). The objective of this study was to evaluate the burden associated with informal caregiving for individuals with UG.

A review on ranking problems in statistical learning
CoRR, 2019 Ranking problems, also known as preference learning problems, define a widely spread class of statistical learning problems with many applications, including fraud detection, document ranking, medicine, credit risk screening, image ranking or media memorability. In this article, we systematically review different types of instance ranking problems, i.e.

Automated Hand Flexor Tendon–Thickness Measurement in Systemic Sclerosis
Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective Systemic sclerosis (SSc) can affect flexor tendons, contributing to hand function problems and reduced quality of life. Tendon changes are currently assessed with ultrasonography and measured manually, a time‐consuming process prone to interobserver variability.

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer ScienceThe rank constrained nonconvex nonsmooth matrix optimization problem is an important and challenging issue. To solve it, we first design a penalty model in which the penalty term can be expressed as a sum of specific functions defined on smallest ...
