PLoS ONE, 2011 Several research fields frequently deal with the analysis of diverse classification results of the same entities. This should imply an objective detection of overlaps and divergences between the formed clusters. The congruence between classifications can

Do metabolic factors increase the risk of thyroid cancer? a Mendelian randomization study
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2023 BackgroundEpidemiological studies emphasize the link between metabolic factors and thyroid cancer. Using Mendelian randomization (MR), we assessed the possible causal impact of metabolic factors on thyroid cancer for the first time.MethodsSummary ...

Robust Confidence Intervals for Average Treatment Effects Under Limited Overlap
Social Science Research Network, 2017 Estimators of average treatment effects under unconfounded treatment assignment are known to become rather imprecise if there is limited overlap in the covariate distributions between the treatment groups.

Confidence Intervals For An Effect Size When Variances Are Not Equal [PDF]
, 2006 Confidence intervals must be robust in having nominal and actual probability coverage in close agreement. This article examined two ways of computing an effect size in a two-group problem: (a) the classic approach which divides the mean difference by a ...

Use of the bootstrap in analysing cost data from cluster randomised trials: some simulation results
BMC Health Services Research, 2004 Background This work has investigated under what conditions confidence intervals around the differences in mean costs from a cluster RCT are suitable for estimation using a commonly used cluster-adjusted bootstrap in preference to methods that utilise ...

Confidence interval based parameter estimation--a new SOCR applet and activity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Many scientific investigations depend on obtaining data-driven, accurate, robust and computationally-tractable parameter estimates. In the face of unavoidable intrinsic variability, there are different algorithmic approaches, prior assumptions and ...

A simple remedy for overprecision in judgment [PDF]
Judgment and Decision Making, 2010 Overprecision is the most robust type of overconfidence. We present a new method that significantly reduces this bias and offers insight into its underlying cause.

Which Robust Regression Technique Is Appropriate Under Violated Assumptions? A Simulation Study
Methodology, 2023 Ordinary least squares (OLS) regression is widely employed for statistical prediction and theoretical explanation in psychology studies. However, OLS regression has a critical drawback: it becomes less accurate in the presence of outliers and non-random ...
