The methodology of RECursive Partition and AMalgamation (RECPAM) previously presented in Parts I and II (A. Ciampi et al., Computer. Methods Progr. Biomed. 26 (1988) 239-256 and 30 (1989) 283-296) pursues its development with an application to predict long-term effects of a disease given a set of clinical information measured at the time of illness. This paper illustrates how RECPAM deals with a situation typical in Medical Informatics applied to data on Haemophilus influenzae type b meningitis.

Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) levels can help predict outcomes in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), but its integration with DLBCL molecular clusters remains unexplored. Using the LymphGen tool in 77 DLBCL with both ctDNA and tissue biopsy, a 95.8% concordance rate in molecular cluster assignment was observed, showing the reproducibility of molecular clustering on ctDNA.

Introduction: It is unknown in which, if any, subgroups of older adults multidomain interventions are effective at reducing long-term dementia incidence.

Methods: We pooled up to 12 years of follow-up data from 5205 participants aged > 70 from the Multidomain Alzheimer Preventive Trial (MAPT) and Prevention of Dementia by Intensive Vascular Care (preDIVA) studies. The primary outcome was incident all-cause dementia.

Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) represents a progressive degenerative disorder characterized by the gradual erosion of articular cartilage. This study aimed to develop and validate biomarker-based predictive models for KOA diagnosis using machine learning techniques. Clinical data from 2594 samples were obtained and stratified into training and validation datasets in a 7:3 ratio.

Distributed model building and recursive integration for big spatial data modeling.

Department of Biostatistics, Brown University, Providence, RI 02912, United States.

Motivated by the need for computationally tractable spatial methods in neuroimaging studies, we develop a distributed and integrated framework for estimation and inference of Gaussian process model parameters with ultra-high-dimensional likelihoods. We propose a shift in viewpoint from whole to local data perspectives that is rooted in distributed model building and integrated estimation and inference. The framework's backbone is a computationally and statistically efficient integration procedure that simultaneously incorporates dependence within and between spatial resolutions in a recursively partitioned spatial domain.

Treatment with veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) has become a frequently considered rescue therapy in patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Hemolysis is a common complication in patients treated with ECMO. Currently, it is unclear whether increased ECMO blood flow (Q̇) contributes to mortality and might be associated with increased hemolysis.
