可解释的动态治疗方案AI 解读

Precision medicine is currently a topic of great interest in clinical and intervention science. A key component of precision medicine is that it is evidence-based, i.e., data-driven, and consequently there has been tremendous interest in estimation of precision medicine strategies using observational or randomized study data. One way to formalize precision medicine is through a treatment regime, which is a sequence of decision rules, one per stage of clinical intervention,…

最大化 t 年生存概率的最优治疗策略估计AI 解读

Summary A treatment regime is a deterministic function that dictates personalized treatment based on patients’ individual prognostic information. There is increasing interest in finding optimal treatment regimes, which determine treatment at one or more treatment decision points to maximize expected long-term clinical outcomes, where larger outcomes are preferred. For chronic diseases such as cancer or human immunodeficiency virus infection, survival time is often the…

改进不完整数据下总体均值双重稳健估计的效率与稳健性AI 解读

Abstract Considerable recent interest has focused on doubly robust estimators for a population mean response in the presence of incomplete data, which involve models for both the propensity score and the regression of outcome on covariates. The usual doubly robust estimator may yield severely biased inferences if neither of these models is correctly specified and can exhibit nonnegligible bias if the estimated propensity score is close to zero for some observations. We…

结构测量误差模型中的潜变量模型稳健性AI 解读

We present methods for diagnosing the effects of model misspecification of the true-predictor distribution in structural measurement error models. We first formulate latent-model robustness theoretically. Then we provide practical techniques for examining the adequacy of an assumed latent predictor model. The methods are illustrated via analytical examples, application to simulated data and with data from a study of coronary heart disease.

非线性混合效应模型中时变协变量测量误差的两步处理：IGF-I药代动力学应用AI 解读

The usual approach to the analysis of population pharmacokinetic studies is to represent the concentration-time data by a nonlinear mixed-effects model. Primary objectives are to characterize the pattern of drug disposition in the population and to identify individual-specific covariates associated with pharmacokinetic behavior. We consider data from a study of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) administered by intravenous infusion to patients with severe head trauma.…

重复测量数据的非线性模型AI 解读

Nonlinear mixed effects models for data in the form of continuous, repeated measurements on each of a number of individuals, also known as hierarchical nonlinear models, are a popular platform for analysis when interest focuses on individual-specific characteristics.This framework first enjoyed widespread attention within the statistical research community in the late 1980s, and the 1990s saw vigorous development of new methodological and computational techniques for these…

免疫测定中经自助法调整的校准置信区间AI 解读

In immunoassay, a nonlinear heteroscedastic regression model is used to characterize assay concentration-response, and the model fitted to data from standard samples is used to calibrate unknown test samples. Usual large-sample methods to construct individual confidence intervals for calibrated concentrations have been observed in empirical studies to be seriously inaccurate in terms of achieving the nominal level of coverage. We show theoretically that this inaccuracy is…

具有光滑随机效应密度的非线性混合效应模型AI 解读

The fixed parameters of the nonlinear mixed effects model and the density of the random effects are estimated jointly by maximum likelihood. The density of the random effects is assumed to be smooth but is otherwise unrestricted. The method uses a series expansion that follows from the smoothness assumption to represent the density and quadrature to compute the likelihood. Standard algorithms are used for optimization. Empirical Bayes estimates of random coefficients are…
