Detecting Selection Bias in Meta-Analyses with Multiple Outcomes: A Simulation Study

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Education, 2019
This study explores the performance of classical methods for detecting publication bias—namely, Egger’s regression test, Funnel Plot test, Begg’s Rank Correlation and Trim and Fill method—in meta-analysis of studies that report multiple effects ...

Cellular liquid biopsy provides unique chances for disease monitoring, preclinical model generation and therapy adjustment in rare salivary gland cancer patients

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We quantified and cultured circulating tumor cells (CTCs) of 62 patients with various cancer types and generated CTC‐derived tumoroid models from two salivary gland cancer patients. Cellular liquid biopsy‐derived information enabled molecular genetic assessment of systemic disease heterogeneity and functional testing for therapy selection in both ...

Positive site selection bias in meta-analyses comparing natural regeneration to active forest restoration

open access: yesScience Advances, 2018
Selection bias calls into question whether natural regeneration is really more successful than active tropical forest restoration. Several recent meta-analyses have aimed to determine whether natural regeneration is more effective at recovering tropical ...

Causally Regularized Learning with Agnostic Data Selection Bias [PDF]

open access: yesACM Multimedia, 2017
Most of previous machine learning algorithms are proposed based on the i.i.d. hypothesis. However, this ideal assumption is often violated in real applications, where selection bias may arise between training and testing process.

Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) trajectories predict survival in trifluridine/tipiracil‐treated metastatic colorectal cancer patients

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The authors applied joint/mixed models that predict mortality of trifluridine/tipiracil‐treated metastatic colorectal cancer patients based on circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) trajectories. Patients at high risk of death could be spared aggressive therapy with the prospect of a higher quality of life in their remaining lifetime, whereas patients with a ...

Limitations of econometric evaluation of nonrandomized residential energy efficiency programs: A case study of Northern California rebate programs

open access: yesEnvironmental Data Science, 2022
Residential energy efficiency programs play an important role in combating climate change. More precise quantification of the magnitude and timing of energy savings would bring large system benefits, allowing closer integration of energy efficiency into ...

Statistical inference for association studies using electronic health records: handling both selection bias and outcome misclassification

open access: yesBiometrics, 2019
Health research using electronic health records (EHR) has gained popularity, but misclassification of EHR‐derived disease status and lack of representativeness of the study sample can result in substantial bias in effect estimates and can impact power ...

Berkson's Bias, Selection Bias, and Missing Data [PDF]

open access: yesEpidemiology, 2012
Although Berkson's bias is widely recognized in the epidemiologic literature, it remains underappreciated as a model of both selection bias and bias due to missing data. Simple causal diagrams and 2 × 2 tables illustrate how Berkson's bias connects to collider bias and selection bias more generally, and show the strong analogies between Berksonian ...

Addressing persistent challenges in digital image analysis of cancer tissue: resources developed from a hackathon

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Large multidimensional digital images of cancer tissue are becoming prolific, but many challenges exist to automatically extract relevant information from them using computational tools. We describe publicly available resources that have been developed jointly by expert and non‐expert computational biologists working together during a virtual hackathon

Appreciating Factors Beyond the Physical in Talent Identification and Development: Insights From the FC Barcelona Sporting Model

open access: yesFrontiers in Sports and Active Living, 2020
FC Barcelona is a multi-sport organization that adopts a talent identification approach that emphasizes the technical, psychological, and perceptual–cognitive attributes. It is unclear within this type of sporting selection model whether the relative age
