Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Cyclophosphamide (CY) is associated with potentially fatal cardiotoxicity, yet no electrocardiographic indices have been established for early detection of CY‐induced cardiomyopathy. This study aimed to determine whether corrected QT interval (QTc) prolongation can predict early onset of CY‐related cardiac dysfunction in pediatric ...

A Spatial Unit Level Model for Small Area Estimation
Revstat Statistical Journal, 2011 This paper approaches the problem of small area estimation in the framework of spatially correlated data. We propose a class of estimators allowing the integration of sample information of a spatial nature.

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Surveillance imaging aims to detect tumour relapse before symptoms develop, but it's unclear whether earlier detection of relapse leads to better outcomes in children and young people (CYP) with medulloblastoma and ependymoma. This systematic review aims to identify relevant literature to determine the efficacy of surveillance magnetic ...

On Misspecification of Spatial Weight Matrix for Small Area Estimation in Longitudinal Analysis [PDF]
, 2012 The problem of prediction of subpopulation (domain) total is studied as in Rao (2003). Considerations are based on spatially correlated longitudinal data.

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background B‐cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (B‐LBL) represents a rare variety of non‐Hodgkin lymphoma, with limited research on its biology, progression, and management. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical characteristics of 256 patients aged ≤18 years who received treatment under the China Net Childhood Lymphoma (CNCL)‐

Outlier Robust Small Area Estimation
Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series B: Statistical Methodology, 2013 SummaryRecently proposed outlier robust small area estimators can be substantially biased when outliers are drawn from a distribution that has a different mean from that of the rest of the survey data. This naturally leads one to consider an outlier robust bias correction for these estimators.

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Bone tumours present significant challenges for affected patients, as multimodal therapy often leads to prolonged physical limitations. This is particularly critical during childhood and adolescence, as it can negatively impact physiological development and psychosocial resilience.

Acta Universitatis Lodziensis. Folia Oeconomica, 2017 In sample surveys there is often a need to estimate not only population characteristics, but subpopulation characteristics as well. We consider the problem of estimating the total value in domains (subpopulations).

ZERO INFLATED NEGATIVE BINOMIAL MODELS IN SMALL AREA ESTIMATION [PDF]
, 2008 The problem of over-dispersion in Poisson data is usually solved by introducing prior distributions which lead to negative binomial models. Poisson data sometime is also suffered by excess zero problems, a condition when data contains too many zero or ...

Bayesian model comparison and model averaging for small-area estimation
, 2009 This paper considers small-area estimation with lung cancer mortality data, and discusses the choice of upper-level model for the variation over areas. Inference about the random effects for the areas may depend strongly on the choice of this model, but ...
