Aims: Six Delta is a six-dimensional independent platform for outcome-based pricing/contracting. The second dimension (δ2) estimates prices on the basis of four... -
Multirater Validation of Peripapillary Hyperreflective Ovoid Mass-like Struct...
Peripapillary hyperreflective ovoid mass-like structures (PHOMS) are a new retinal optical coherence tomography (OCT) finding. The Optic Disc Drusen Studies Consortium had made... -
Multiple regression model averaging and the focused information criterion wit...
We consider multiple regression (MR) model averaging using the Focused Informati on Criterion (FIC). Our approach is motivated by the problem of implementing a mean-variance... -
Proof of concept study for paper discrimination and age estimation through it...
This study proposed a proof-of-concept methodology for the investigation of paper samples by utilizing ATR-FTIR spectroscopy supported by chemometric methods. An attempt on the... -
Statistical considerations for medication adherence research
OBJECTIVE Medication non-adherence is a widespread problem and has been known to be associated with worse health outcomes and increased healthcare costs. Although many measures... -
Testing for correlation between two time series using a parametric bootstrap
We study the problem of determining if two time series are correlated in the mean and variance. Several test statistics, originally designed for determining the correlation... -
Handgrip strength improves prediction of type 2 diabetes: a prospective cohor...
We aimed to determine whether handgrip strength (HGS)improves type 2 diabetes (T2D) risk prediction beyond conventional risk factors. Handgrip strength was assessed at baseline... -
Association of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate exposure with chronic kidney dis...
Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF)-based regimens have been associated with impaired kidney function and loss of bone mineral density among patients living with HIV (PLWH). We... -
Knowledge and awareness toward menopause and hormone therapy among premenopau...
Menopause is a natural important transition in women’s life. Having adequate knowledge and perception about menopause at a young age is critical for women to cope better with... -

This paper shows that the level of municipal transparency influences the level of efficiency, which is measured by parametric and non-parametric techniques. More concretely, the... -
Renal complications in COVID-19: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Emerging data suggest that coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has extrapulmonary manifestations but its renal manifestations are not clearly defined. We aimed to evaluate renal... -
Vehicle safety characteristics in vulnerable driver populations
National data suggest drivers who are younger, older, and have lower socioeconomic status (SES) have heightened crash-related injury rates. Ensuring vulnerable drivers are in... -
Association between cotinine-verified smoking status and hypertension in 167,...
Purpose: Previous studies showed inconsistent results concerning the relationship between chronic smoking and blood pressure. Most of the studies involved self-reported smoking... -
Age at puberty and accelerometer-measured physical activity: Findings from tw...
It is unclear if puberty timing influences future physical activity (PA). To investigate the association of puberty timing with PA across adolescence and adulthood. Data were... -
Elective cesarean delivery and long-term cardiovascular morbidity in the offs...
To evaluate the impact of cesarean delivery (CD) on offspring risk for long-term cardiovascular morbidity. A population-based cohort analysis was performed, including all... -
A minimalistic approach for evapotranspiration estimation using the Prophet m...
This study aimed to evaluate the potential of the recently introduced Prophet model for estimating reference evapotranspiration (ETo). A comparative study was conducted for... -
Estimation of bias-corrected intraclass correlation coefficient for unbalance...
Intraclass correlation coefficient for data in a clustered study is traditionally estimated from a one-way random-effects model. This model assumes normality for the random... -
Evaluation of Model Fit in Structural Equation Models with Ordinal Missing Da...
In many applied situations, the questionnaire items in measurement instruments do not approximate continuous, normally distributed variables but instead are ordinal. Properties... -
Designing a data-driven leagile sustainable closed-loop supply chain network
Nowadays, there is a great deal of interest in applying sustainability concepts for logistics and supply chain management. This paper proposes a new multi objective model in the... -
