Surrogate Measures and Consistent Surrogates [PDF]

Biometrics, 2013
AbstractSummarySurrogates which allow one to predict the effect of the treatment on the outcome of interest from the effect of the treatment on the surrogate are of importance when it is difficult or expensive to measure the primary outcome. Unfortunately, the use of such surrogates can give rise to paradoxical situations in which the effect of the ...

4-Cyano-3-oxotetrahydrothiophene (c-THT): An Ideal Acrylonitrile Anion Equivalent

SynOpen, 2021
4-Cyano-3-oxotetrahydrothiophene (c-THT) has much more to offer than just a platform to various heterocyclic scaffolds. This solid, bench-stable and commercially available reagent can be readily transformed into thioglycolic acid and acrylonitrile upon ...

Self-Adaptive Surrogate-Assisted Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategy [PDF]

, 2012
This paper presents a novel mechanism to adapt surrogate-assisted population-based algorithms. This mechanism is applied to ACM-ES, a recently proposed surrogate-assisted variant of CMA-ES. The resulting algorithm, saACM-ES, adjusts online the lifelength
