Abstract A common issue in longitudinal studies is that subjects' visits are irregular and may depend on observed outcome values which known as data with informative observation times (follow‐up). Semiparametric regression modeling for this type of has received much attention it provides more flexibility studying the association between factors a outcome. An important problem here how to select relevant variables estimate their coefficients semiparametric models when number covariates at...
Abstract Background Core sets, while widely adopted for clinical assessment in juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM), have some drawbacks – they are time consuming, were developed primarily research, and require an experienced multidisciplinary team. We propose the Wingate Anaerobic Test, a 30-s all out test performed on cycle ergometer, as potential alternative; it is valid reliable this patient population. aimed to determine feasibility of performing part typical clinic visit, if correlated...
Prevalent cohort sampling is commonly used to study the natural history of a disease when rare or it usually takes long time observe failure event. It known, however, that collected sample in this situation not representative target population which turn leads biased risk sets. In addition, survival times are subject censoring, censoring mechanism informative. paper, I propose pseudo-partial likelihood estimation method for estimating parameters Cox proportional hazards model with...
