Important Variables in Granulocyte Chemiluminescence
Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1979 SummaryA CL system consisting of canine granulocytes stimulated with opsonized zymosan was used to examine factors which lead to variability in light production. Variability of CL response was associated with granulocyte aggregation. Granulocyte aggregation was reduced by: (i) reducing centrifu-gation and mixing forces used to prepare cell suspensions,

Variable Importance Clouds: A Way to Explore Variable Importance for the Set of Good Models
CoRR, 2019 Variable importance is central to scientific studies, including the social sciences and causal inference, healthcare, and other domains. However, current notions of variable importance are often tied to a specific predictive model. This is problematic: what if there were multiple well-performing predictive models, and a specific variable is important ...

Physical activity - an important preanalytical variable [PDF]
Biochemia Medica, 2014 The concentration of several biochemical and hematological biomarkers is strongly influenced by a number of preanalytical variables. Several lines of evidence attest that short, middle, and long-term exercise, as well as the relative intensity of physical effort (from mild to strenuous), may influence a broad array of laboratory variables.

PUBO$$_i$$: A Tunable Benchmark with Variable Importance
, 2022 In this work, we present the benchmark generator PUBOi, Polynomial Unconstrained Binary Optimization, that combines subproblems to create instances of pseudo-boolean optimization problems. Any mono-objective pseudoboolean functions including existing classical optimization problems can be expressed with Walsh functions. The benchmark generator can tune
