Diabetic neuropathy is a disorder characterized by impaired nerve function and reduction of the number of epidermal nerve fibers per epidermal surface. Additionally, as neuropathy related nerve fiber ...
spmodel is an [Formula: see text] package used to fit, summarize, and predict for a variety spatial statistical models applied to point-referenced or areal (lattice) data. Parameters are estimated usi...
The increasingly large size of the graphical and numerical data sets collected with modern technologies requires constant update and upgrade of the statistical models, methods and procedures to be use...
Research that seeks to compare two predictive models requires a thorough statistical approach to draw valid inferences about comparisons between the performance of the two models. Researchers present ...
Frequently, biomedical researchers need to choose between multiple candidate statistical models. Several techniques exist to facilitate statistical model selection including adjusted R...
Leptospirosis, the infectious disease caused by a spirochete bacteria, is a major public health problem worldwide. In Argentina, some regions have climatic and geographical characteristics that favor ...
Automated detection of foreshortening, a common challenge in routine 2-D echocardiography, has the potential to improve quality of acquisitions and reduce the variability of left ventricular measureme...
A statistical shape model of the four chambers of the heart was used to synthesise idealised A4C views with varying degrees of foreshortening. Contours of the left ventricular endocardium were segment...
Acceptable classification accuracy for identification of foreshortened views in the testing set was achieved using logistic regression based on 11 PLS shape modes, with a sensitivity, specificity and ...
A contour shape model trained only on synthesized A4C views allowed accurate prediction of foreshortening in real echocardiographic images....
This study compares the performance of statistical methods for predicting age-standardized cancer incidence, including Poisson generalized linear models, age-period-cohort (APC) and Bayesian age-perio...
With the rapid development of biotechnology, gene sequencing methods are gradually improved. The structure of gene sequences is also more complex. However, the traditional sequence alignment method is...
Poor drug adherence is considered one of major barriers to achieving the clinical and public health benefits of many pharmacotherapies. In the current paper, we aim to investigate the impact of dose o...
