We propose two novel diagnostic measures for the detection of influential observations for regression parameters in linear regression. Traditional diagnostic statistics focus on the effect of deletion of data points either on parameter estimates, or on predicted values. A data point is regarded as influential by the new methods if its inclusion determines a significantly different likelihood function for the parameter of interest. The concerned likelihood function is asymptotically valid for practically all underlying distributions whose second moments exist.

Albumin and γ-globulin concentrations in subcutaneous adipose tissues (SAT) have been quantified by multivariate regression based on admittance relaxation time distribution (mraRTD) under the fluctuated background of sodium electrolyte concentration. The mraRTD formulates P = Ac + Ξ (P: peak matrix of distribution function magnitude ɣP and frequency τP, c: concentration matrix of albumin cAlb, γ-globulin Gloc, and sodium electrolyte Nac, A: coefficient matrix of a multivariate regression model, and Ξ: error matrix). The mraRTD is implemented by two processes which are: 1) the training process of A through the maximum likelihood estimation of P and 2) the quantification process of cAlb, Gloc, and Nac through the model prediction.

Ibrutinib treatment is often complicated by cardiovascular side effects (CVSEs). The objective of this retrospective pharmacogenetic study is to replicate a previously reported association of 'high-risk' patients, who are homozygous carriers of at least two of GATA4 rs804280 AA, KCNQ1 rs163182 GG, and KCNQ1 rs2237895 AA, with increased risk of hypertension or atrial fibrillation, and explore associations for other pharmacogenes (e.g.

Background Sarcopenia is the progressive and generalized loss of skeletal muscle and its associated function. Whilst it is typically associated with advanced age, it is also prevalent in patients with chronic diseases including cancer. Patients with esophageal cancer are at high risk of developing malnutrition and sarcopenia due to impaired oral intake, the effects of neoadjuvant treatment, and cancer-related cachexia.

Diffusion models have emerged as powerful generative techniques for solving inverse problems. Despite their success in a variety of inverse problems in imaging, these models require many steps to converge, leading to slow inference time. Recently, there has been a trend in diffusion models for employing sophisticated noise schedules that involve more frequent iterations of timesteps at lower noise levels, thereby improving image generation and convergence speed.

Identification of potential disparities in neuropsychological performance is critical to identify ways to improve inclusivity in clinical research and care of representative FTD populations. We evaluated disparities in neuropsychological performance among individuals with clinically diagnosed FTD (behavioral variant FTD [bvFTD] or primary progressive aphasia [PPA]) using data from the National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center (NACC) collected between September 2005 and November 2023.
