Stem Water Potential Monitoring in Pear Orchards through WorldView-2 Multispectral Imagery
Remote Sensing, 2013 Remote sensing can provide good alternatives for traditional in situ water status measurements in orchard crops, such as stem water potential (Ψstem). However, the heterogeneity of these cropping systems causes significant differences with regards to ...

The Impact of Outliers on Net-Benefit Regression Model in Cost-Effectiveness Analysis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Ordinary least square (OLS) in regression has been widely used to analyze patient-level data in cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA). However, the estimates, inference and decision making in the economic evaluation based on OLS estimation may be biased by ...

On the Adversarial Robustness of Multivariate Robust Estimation
CoRR, 2019 In this paper, we investigate the adversarial robustness of multivariate $M$-Estimators. In the considered model, after observing the whole dataset, an adversary can modify all data points with the goal of maximizing inference errors. We use adversarial influence function (AIF) to measure the asymptotic rate at which the adversary can change the ...

On the Robustness of Brain Gain Estimates [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2009 Recent theoretical studies suggest that migration prospects can raise the expected return to human capital and thus foster education investment at home or, in other words, induce a brain gain. In a recent paper (Beine, Docquier and Rapoport, Economic Journal, 2008) we used the Docquier and Marfouk (2006) data set on emigration rates by education level ...

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objectives The association between exposure to dinutuximab beta (DB) and event‐free survival (EFS) or overall survival (OS) of neuroblastoma patients was assessed using data collected during three clinical trials (five cohorts). Methods A systematic review (March 2026) was conducted to identify relevant studies (prospective; registered DB ...

ROBUSTNESS OF PRODUCTIVITY ESTIMATES* [PDF]
The Journal of Industrial Economics, 2007 Researchers interested in estimating productivity can choose from an array of methodologies, each with its strengths and weaknesses. We compare the robustness of five widely used techniques, two non‐parametric and three parametric: in order, (a) index numbers, (b) data envelopment analysis (DEA), (c) stochastic frontiers, (d) instrumental variables ...

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Purpose Despite 5‐year survival rates of over 90% among children and adolescents/young adults (CAYAs) with classic Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL), 15%–20% relapse after frontline therapy. Prior analysis of frontline Children's Oncology Group (COG) clinical trials demonstrated that, despite similar rates of relapse, non‐Hispanic Black (NHB) and ...

Robust Estimators in Geodetic Networks Based on a New Metaheuristic: Independent Vortices Search
Sensors, 2019 Geodetic networks provide accurate three-dimensional control points for mapping activities, geoinformation, and infrastructure works. Accurate computation and adjustment are necessary, as all data collection is vulnerable to outliers.
