Propensity-score matching analysis in COVID-19-related studies: a method and quality systematic review [PDF]
Objectives: To provide an overall quality assessment of the methods used for COVID-19-related studies using propensity score matching (PSM). Study Design and Setting: A systematic search was conducted in June 2021 on PubMed to identify COVID-19-related studies that use the PSM analysis between 2020 and 2021. Key information about study design and PSM

Improving Transportability of Regression Calibration Under the Main/External Validation Study Design [PDF]
In epidemiology, obtaining accurate individual exposure measurements can be costly and challenging. Thus, these measurements are often subject to error. Regression calibration with a validation study is widely employed as a study design and analysis method to correct for measurement error in the main study due to its broad applicability and simple ...

Improving Study Skills using Program Integrating Reflection Seminars [PDF]
If students have a broad spectrum of study skills, learning will likely be positively affected, since they can adapt the way they learn in different situations. Such study skills can be learned in for example learning-to-learn courses. Several studies of such courses have been done over the years, but few of these have been carried out in longitudinal ...

Asymptotics of Fubini-Study Currents for Sequences of Line Bundles [PDF]
We study the Fubini-Study currents and equilibrium metrics of continuous Hermitian metrics on sequences of holomorphic line bundles over a fixed compact K\"ahler manifold. We show that the difference between the Fubini-Study currents and the curvature of the equilibrium metric, when appropriately scaled, converges to 0 in the sense of currents.
