Improving a novel quantitative randomized response method using auxiliary variable information

Heliyon
In the majority of sample surveys, the variable of interest might have sensitive characteristics. Since we frequently get unrealistic responses from respondents during interviews as employing the direct method is not seen logical in these situations.

Evidence‐Based Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Management of Pediatric Febrile Neutropenia: Resource‐Sensitive Recommendations for the Asian Continent

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Febrile neutropenia (FN) is a frequent and serious complication in children receiving cancer therapy. Standardizing FN management across Asia is challenging due to variable healthcare infrastructure, diagnostic capacity, and infection patterns; however, it could improve resource use and patient outcomes.

Abatacept for Prophylaxis of Acute and Chronic Graft‐Versus‐Host‐Disease in Children Undergoing Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation—A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of Cohort Studies

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Graft‐versus‐host disease (GvHD) remains one of the most significant complications of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Abatacept, a selective T‐cell costimulation modulator, is a relatively novel prophylactic agent, though pediatric data remain limited.

Mean Estimation of a Sensitive Variable under Nonresponse Using Three-Stage RRT Model in Stratified Two-Phase Sampling

Journal of Probability and Statistics, 2022
The present study addresses the problems of mean estimation and nonresponse under the three-stage RRT model. Auxiliary information on an attribute and variable is used to propose a generalized class of exponential ratio-type estimators.

Quantify the Impact of Non-Response and Measurement Error of Sensitive Variable(s) under Two-Phase Sampling employing ORRT Models

Communications in Advanced Mathematical Sciences, 2023
Throughout this article, a two-phase sampling (TPS) technique is employed to estimate the population mean of the sensitive variable. The current article endeavours to develop a chain ratio type estimator for the estimation of sensitive variable(s) in the

Neurocognitive, School‐Based, and Quality of Life Outcomes for Youth With Sickle Cell Disease and Thalassemia: A Scoping Review

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The medical burdens of sickle cell disease (SCD) and transfusion‐dependent β‐thalassemia (TDT) are chronic and cumulative, even in children. Yet the effects expand beyond medications and healthcare visits due to their impacts on school attendance, academic performance, and peer engagement.

Calibrated optional randomized response techniques for efficient and robust estimation of quantitative sensitive variables

Scientific Reports
This paper introduced new classes of calibrated randomized response techniques (C-ORRT) models aimed at estimating sensitive information. The proposed C-ORRT models were developed by modifying existing RRT models using auxiliary variable through ...

Lorlatinib‐Containing Therapy for MYCN‐Amplified, ALK‐Mutated Neuroblastoma With Bulky Leptomeningeal Relapse: A Case Report

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Central nervous system (CNS) relapse of neuroblastoma carries a poor prognosis, and craniospinal irradiation (CSI) poses substantial long‐term toxicity in young children. We report a toddler with MYCN‐amplified neuroblastoma harboring somatic ALK R1275Q who developed extensive leptomeningeal relapse with paraplegia.

An Agile Optimal Orthogonal Additive Randomized Response Model

Communications in Advanced Mathematical Sciences, 2019
In this paper, a new additive randomized response model has been proposed. The properties of the proposed model have been studied. It has been shown theoretically that the suggested additive model is better than the one envisaged by [1] under very ...
