The Fate (Outcome) of Clinically Apparent Single Lesion and Oligofocal Nephroblastomatosis Treated According to SIOP/GPOH Protocols for Wilms Tumor

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The management of clinically apparent single lesions or oligofocal nephroblastomatosis, a facultative precursor of nephroblastoma, remains debated. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 37 patients with clinically apparent single or oligofocal nephroblastomatosis (two to three lesions per kidney) among 2347 patients registered between

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 ...

What is the contribution of voluntary and reflex processes to sensorimotor control of balance?

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2022
The contribution to balance of spinal and transcortical processes including the long-latency reflex is well known. The control of balance has been modelled previously as a continuous, state feedback controller representing, long-latency reflexes. However,

Decoherence, wave function collapses and non-ordinary statistical mechanics

, 2002
We consider a toy model of pointer interacting with a 1/2-spin system, whose $\sigma_{x}$ variable is \emph{measured} by the environment, according to the prescription of decoherence theory.

Optimisation of variables for studying dilepton transverse momentum distributions at hadron colliders [PDF]

, 2010
In future measurements of the dilepton ($Z/\gamma^*$) transverse momentum, \Qt, at both the Tevatron and LHC, the achievable bin widths and the ultimate precision of the measurements will be limited by experimental resolution rather than by the available

A Family of Estimators of a Sensitive Variable Using Auxiliary Information in Stratified Random Sampling

, 2017
In this article, a combined general family of estimators is proposed for estimating finite population mean of a sensitive variable in stratified random sampling with non-sensitive auxiliary variable based on randomized response technique.

Dietary Protein Intake and Peritoneal Protein Losses in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients lose protein in their waste dialysate, potentially increasing their risk for malnutrition. We wished to determine whether there was any association between losses and dietary protein intake (DPI). Methods DPI was assessed from 24‐h dietary recall using Nutrics software.

An Improved Estimation Procedure of the Mean of a Sensitive Variable Using Auxiliary Information

, 2017
Let Y be the variable under study, a sensitive variable which can’t be observed directly. Let X is a non – sensitive auxiliary variable which is strongly correlated with Y.

A descriptive study of variable discretization and cost-sensitive logistic regression on imbalanced credit data [PDF]

Journal of Applied Statistics, 2018
Training classification models on imbalanced data tends to result in bias towards the majority class. In this paper, we demonstrate how variable discretization and cost-sensitive logistic regression help mitigate this bias on an imbalanced credit scoring
