Estimating a Ratio of Normal Parameters

The Annals of Statistics, 1985
Let \(x_ 1,...,x_ n\) (n\(\geq 2)\) be a sample from a normal distribution with mean \(\xi\) and variance \(\sigma^ 2\). The parameter \(\theta =\xi /\sigma^{2p}\) is to be estimated with loss function \(L(\xi,\sigma,\delta)=(\theta -\delta)^ 2\sigma^{4p-2}\). Consider estimators \(CX/S^ p\) where X is the sample mean and \(S=\sum^{n}_{j=1}(x_ j-\bar X)

Clinical, Histopathological, and Molecular Characterization of Pediatric MN1::ZNF341‐Associated Cancer

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A lethal round‐cell malignancy with an MN1::ZNF341 fusion has recently been reported in three infants. Here, we describe four further tumors, three in newborns (including monozygotic twins), and one in an adolescent. Detailed clinical, radiological, and histopathological data differentiate these tumors from their main mimics, neuroblastoma and

A Ratio Estimator for the Mean Using a Mixture Optional Enhance Trust (MOET) Randomized Response Model

Mathematics
When researchers conduct surveys seeking sensitive, socially stigmatized information, respondents, on average, modify their answers to represent themselves favorably. To overcome this issue, researchers may use Randomized Response Technique (RRT) models.

Estimating Diversity via Frequency Ratios [PDF]

Biometrics, 2015
SummaryWe wish to estimate the total number of classes in a population based on sample counts, especially in the presence of high latent diversity. Drawing on probability theory that characterizes distributions on the integers by ratios of consecutive probabilities, we construct a nonlinear regression model for the ratios of consecutive frequency ...

Solid Pseudopapillary Neoplasm of the Pancreas in Children and Adolescents: Expert Recommendations

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas (SPN) is a rare low‐grade malignant exocrine pancreatic tumor, mostly discovered during the second decade of life in females, with a very good prognosis, provided microscopically complete surgical excision is achieved.

Generalized Exponential Type Estimator for Population Variance in Survey Sampling

Revista Colombiana de Estadística, 2014
In this paper, generalized exponential-type estimator has been proposed for estimating the population variance using mean auxiliary variable in single-phase sampling. Some special cases of the proposed generalized estimator have also been discussed.

Admixture Mapping Reveals Candidate Regions for Methotrexate Neurotoxicity Susceptibility: A Reducing Disparities in Acute Leukemia Consortium Report

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Neurotoxicity is a rare, often dose‐limiting adverse effect of methotrexate (MTX) therapy that disproportionally affects Latino children. Factors contributing to the observed disparity are not well understood. This study leveraged admixture mapping to identify genetic regions associated with MTX‐related neurotoxicity susceptibility ...

Impact of Metastatic Patterns on Survival and Response to Therapy in Neuroblastoma

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background While the presence of metastases in neuroblastoma (NB) is a well‐established prognostic factor, the clinical significance of dissemination patterns and tumour burden and their impact on response and survival remains poorly understood.
