Shannon Entropy Estimation in ∞-Alphabets from Convergence Results: Studying Plug-In Estimators

Entropy, 2018
This work addresses the problem of Shannon entropy estimation in countably infinite alphabets studying and adopting some recent convergence results of the entropy functional, which is known to be a discontinuous function in the space of probabilities in &

Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Survival in Western Kenya: Reduction in Early Deaths and Treatment Abandonment

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background An earlier study on children diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) at Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital (MTRH) in Kenya reported a low event‐free survival (EFS), excess treatment abandonment, and high induction mortality.

The extended Glivenko-Cantelli property for Kernel-Smoothed estimator of the cumulative distribution function in the length-biased sampling [PDF]

Journal of Mahani Mathematical Research
‎Let $\{Y_i; i = 1,\ldots,n \}$ be a length-biased sample from a population with cumulative distribution function $F(\cdot)$‎. If the probability of an item selected in the sample is proportional to its length‎, ‎then the distribution of the observed ...

Clinical, Histopathological, and Molecular Characterization of Pediatric MN1::ZNF341‐Associated Cancer

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A lethal round‐cell malignancy with an MN1::ZNF341 fusion has recently been reported in three infants. Here, we describe four further tumors, three in newborns (including monozygotic twins), and one in an adolescent. Detailed clinical, radiological, and histopathological data differentiate these tumors from their main mimics, neuroblastoma and

Solid Pseudopapillary Neoplasm of the Pancreas in Children and Adolescents: Expert Recommendations

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas (SPN) is a rare low‐grade malignant exocrine pancreatic tumor, mostly discovered during the second decade of life in females, with a very good prognosis, provided microscopically complete surgical excision is achieved.

Strong Consistency for Shared Objects in Pervasive Grids [PDF]

2009 IEEE International Conference on Wireless and Mobile Computing, Networking and Communications, 2009
Recent advances in communication technology enable the emergence of a new generation of applications that integrates mobile devices with classical high performance systems as part of a common computing environment. In such environments, keeping the coherence of shared data (distributed objects, for example) represents a real challenge as communications

Bridging the Gap in Neuroblastoma Care: Consensus‐Based Statements With Recommendations for Improved Patient and Caregiver Experiences

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Neuroblastoma's complex, heterogeneous biology poses significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, often requiring caregivers to absorb complex information and participate in time‐sensitive decisions. However, caregivers often feel unprepared to evaluate options.

Uniform Consistency for Nonparametric Estimators in Null Recurrent Time Series [PDF]

This paper establishes several results for uniform convergence of nonparametric kernel density and regression estimates for the case where the time series regressors concerned are nonstationary null–recurrent Markov chains.

Drift parameter estimation for tempered fractional Ornstein–Uhlenbeck processes based on discrete observations

Modern Stochastics: Theory and Applications
The problem of estimating the drift parameter is considered for an Ornstein–Uhlenbeck-type process driven by a tempered fractional Brownian motion (tfBm) or tempered fractional Brownian motion of the second kind (tfBmII).
