Mendelian randomisation with coarsened exposures

DOI: 10.1002/gepi.22376
Abstract: A key assumption in Mendelian randomisation is that the relationship between the genetic instruments and the outcome is fully mediated by the exposure, known as the exclusion restriction assumption. However, in epidemiological studies, the exposure… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/lt.25409
Abstract: A recent study using US national registry data reported, using Cox proportional hazards (PH) models, that split‐liver transplantation (SLT) has improved over time and is no more hazardous than whole‐liver transplantation (WLT). However, the study… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/mrm.29226
Abstract: Inversion algorithms used to convert acquired MR elastography wave data into material property estimates often assume that the underlying materials are locally homogeneous. Here we evaluate the impact of that assumption on stiffness estimates in… read more here.

Core concepts in pharmacoepidemiology: Violations of the positivity assumption in the causal analysis of observational data: Consequences and statistical approaches
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Pharmacoepidemiology and Drug Safety"
DOI: 10.1002/pds.5338
Abstract: In the causal analysis of observational data, the positivity assumption requires that all treatments of interest be observed in every patient subgroup. Violations of this assumption are indicated by nonoverlap in the data in the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/sim.7688
Abstract: Evaluating the accuracy (ie, estimating the sensitivity and specificity) of new diagnostic tests without the presence of a gold standard is of practical meaning and has been the subject of intensive study for several decades.… read more here.

Latent class models for multiple ordered categorical health data: testing violation of the local independence assumption
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Empirical Economics"
DOI: 10.1007/s00181-019-01685-6
Abstract: Latent class models are now widely applied in health economics to analyse heterogeneity in multiple outcomes generated by subgroups of individuals who vary in unobservable characteristics, such as genetic information or latent traits. These models… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10851-018-0835-8
Abstract: Planar ornaments, a.k.a. wallpapers, are regular repetitive patterns which exhibit translational symmetry in two independent directions. There are exactly 17 distinct planar symmetry groups. We present a fully automatic method for complete analysis of planar… read more here.

Abstract: In his classic book “the Foundations of Statistics” Savage develops a formal system of rational decision making. It is based on (i) a set of possible states of the world, (ii) a set of consequences,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.combustflame.2021.111635
Abstract: Abstract The flamelet assumption has been widely used for analysis and modeling of turbulent premixed flames over the past decades. Despite its popularity, validity of this assumption has been challenged originally by Borghi [1] in… read more here.

Abstract: Background Data generated by phase I trials is richer than the classical binary DLT measured at the first cycle used as primary endpoints. Several works developed designs for more informative endpoints, e.g. ordinal toxicity grades… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.eti.2021.101772
Abstract: Abstract We analyzed both the “economic human” and the “ecological human” assumptions from economic and ecological perspectives. Some limitations of the economic human assumption were found; however, these limitations can be overcome by the ecological… read more here.
