Contrasting diversity values: statistical inferences based on overlapping confidence intervals. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Ecologists often contrast diversity (species richness and abundances) using tests for comparing means or indices. However, many popular software applications do not support performing standard inferential statistics for estimates of species richness and ...

Parametric and semi-parametric bootstrap-based confidence intervals for robust linear mixed models
Methodology, 2021 The linear mixed model (LMM) is a popular statistical model for the analysis of longitudinal data. However, the robust estimation of and inferential conclusions for the LMM in the presence of outliers (i.e., observations with very low probability of ...

Robust Empirical Bayes Confidence Intervals [PDF]
, 2021 We construct robust empirical Bayes confidence intervals (EBCIs) in a normal means problem. The intervals are centered at the usual linear empirical Bayes estimator, but use a critical value accounting for shrinkage. Parametric EBCIs that assume a normal

Clinical utility of cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers measured by LUMIPULSE® system
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, Volume 9, Issue 12, Page 1898-1909, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Objectives Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease (AD) are well‐established in research settings, but their use in routine clinical practice remains a largely unexploited potential. Here, we examined the relationship between CSF biomarkers, measured by a fully automated immunoassay platform, and brain β‐amyloid (Aβ ...
