Fixel‐Based Analysis of Diffusion Imaging as a Quantitative Marker of Disease State in Spinocerebellar Ataxia

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) are a group of genetically heterogeneous neurodegenerative diseases causing progressive deterioration and reduced quality of life. Therapeutic advances have been limited by a lack of sensitive anatomic, functional, or diffusion imaging‐based biomarkers.

A Robust Confidence Interval for Location for Symmetric, Long-Tailed Distributions [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1973
A procedure called the wave-interval is presented for obtaining a 95% confidence interval for the center (mean, median) of a symmetric distribution that is not only highly efficient when the data have a Normal distribution but also performs well when some or all of the data come from a long-tailed distribution such as the Cauchy.

The Comparative Effectiveness and Tolerability of Sphingosine‐1‐Phosphate Receptor Modulators in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis: A Network Meta‐Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Sphingosine‐1‐phosphate receptor modulators (S1PRM) are used to treat relapsing multiple sclerosis (MS). Each drug has a different S1PR‐subtype selectivity. They target the G‐protein coupled S1P receptors and exert significant immunomodulatory effects, such as preventing the formation of new CNS lesions and the reactivation of pre ...

Model validation for a noninvasive arterial stenosis detection problem

Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 2013
A current thrust in medical research is the development of a non-invasive method for detection, localization, and characterization of an arterial stenosis (a blockage or partial blockage in an artery).

High‐Efficacy Treatment in Neuromyelitis Optica Specturm Disorder Patients With Seropositive AQP4 Antibodies—A Real‐World Study

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To compare the effectiveness of high‐efficacy treatments (HET) and low‐efficacy treatments (LET) in NMOSD patients with anti‐aquaporin‐4 antibodies (AQP4‐ab). Methods In this multi‐center study, we analyzed 183 AQP4‐ab seropositive NMOSD patients who received immunosuppressive treatments (IST).

Early Intensive Versus Escalation Approach: Ten‐Year Impact on Disability in Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the long‐term impact of early intensive treatment (EIT) versus escalation (ESC) strategies using high‐efficacy disease‐modifying therapies (HE‐DMTs) on disability progression in relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS). Methods This observational study included 4878 RMS patients from the Italian Multiple Sclerosis Register ...

Robust Learning from Bites for Data Mining [PDF]

Some methods from statistical machine learning and from robust statistics have two drawbacks. Firstly, they are computer-intensive such that they can hardly be used for massive data sets, say with millions of data points.

Asymptotic properties of robust three-stage procedure based on bootstrap for m-estimator [PDF]

, 2000
The paper concerns the fixed-width confidence intervals for location based on M- estimators in the location model. A robust three-stage procedure is proposed and its asymptotic properties are studied.

Robust Bootstrap

Revstat Statistical Journal, 2014
There is a vast literature on robust estimators, but in some situations it is still not easy to make inferences, such as confidence regions and hypothesis testing. This is mainly due to the following facts.

Association of the ICH Score With Withdrawal of Life‐Sustaining Treatment Over a 10‐Year Period

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective The intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) score was developed to enhance provider communication and facilitate early severity assessment. We examined the association of the ICH score with mortality and withdrawal of life‐sustaining treatment (WLST) in a large, multicenter stroke registry, and evaluated temporal trends in these associations.
