On shrinkage estimators improving the positive part of James-Stein estimator

open access: yesDemonstratio Mathematica, 2021
In this work, we study the estimation of the multivariate normal mean by different classes of shrinkage estimators. The risk associated with the quadratic loss function is used to compare two estimators. We start by considering a class of estimators that

Outcomes and Surgical Management of Malignant Rhabdoid Tumor of the Kidney: A Report From the Pediatric Surgical Oncology Research Collaborative

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Malignant rhabdoid tumor of the kidney (MRTK) is a rare, aggressive tumor seen in young children. The optimal timing of resection for locally advanced tumors is not well‐defined. The purpose of this study is to evaluate modern oncologic outcomes and the impact of surgical timing. Methods A multicenter retrospective review was performed

Minimax Multiple Shrinkage Estimation

open access: yesThe Annals of Statistics, 1986
A Stein estimator of the form \[ d_ v(Y)=Y-[(p-2)/\| Y-v\|^ 2](Y-v) \] shrinks Y towards a target \(v\in R^ p\). The paper proposes multiple shrinkage estimators (msest's) for cases where prior information suggests several different choices for the target.

Upacicalcet: A Novel Intravenous Calcimimetic Agent for Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis With Secondary Hyperparathyroidism

open access: yesTherapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is a common complication in patients receiving maintenance dialysis, driven by calcium and phosphate metabolism disturbances. Calcimimetics are central to the management of SHPT by enhancing calcium‐sensing receptor sensitivity and reducing parathyroid hormone secretion.

A Meta-Analysis for Simultaneously Estimating Individual Means with Shrinkage, Isotonic Regression and Pretests

open access: yesAxioms, 2021
Meta-analyses combine the estimators of individual means to estimate the common mean of a population. However, the common mean could be undefined or uninformative in some scenarios where individual means are “ordered” or “sparse”.

Detection of circulating tumor DNA in colorectal cancer patients using a methylation‐specific droplet digital PCR multiplex

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We developed a cost‐effective methylation‐specific droplet digital PCR multiplex assay containing tissue‐conserved and tumor‐specific methylation markers. The assay can detect circulating tumor DNA with high accuracy in patients with localized and metastatic colorectal cancer.

Shrinkage estimates for multi-level heteroscedastic hierarchical normal linear models [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Statistical Theory and Applications (JSTA), 2015
Empirical Bayes approach is an attractive method for estimating hyperparameters in hierarchical models. But, under the assumption of normality for a multi-level heteroscedastic hierarchical model, which involves several explanatory variables, the analyst

A Simulation Study of Some Restricted Estimators in Restricted Linear Regression Model

open access: yesTikrit Journal of Pure Science, 2021
When the multicollinearity exists in linear regression model, the result of the Restricted Least Square estimator (RLS) is unstable. So that, more researchers proposed the restricted biased estimators to improve the efficiency of RLS estimator.
