COVID-19 is a disease caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARSCoV-2) that was reported to spread in people December 2019. Understanding epidemiological features of important for ongoing global efforts contain virus. As complement available work, this article we analyze Kaggle novel dataset 3397 patients dated from January 22, 2020 March 29, 2020. We employ semiparametric and nonparametric survival models as well text mining data visualization techniques examine...
Research on dynamic treatment regimes has enticed extensive interest. Many methods have been proposed in the literature, which, however, are vulnerable to presence of misclassification covariates. In particular, although Q‐learning received considerable attention, its applicability data with misclassified covariates is unclear. this article, we investigate how ignoring binary can impact determination optimal decision rules randomized settings, and demonstrate deleterious effects through...
1632 Background: Telemedicine, once sparingly utilized, surged during the COVID-19 pandemic to enhance care accessibility and safety concerns. Despite initial satisfaction, its usage remains highly variable across institutions. We sought explore patient satisfaction at a comprehensive cancer center, associations with demographic characteristics, change over time. Methods: A survey was sent all first-time telemedicine users Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center from September 2021 October...
In the midst of global outbreak with over 300,000 worldwide death cases COVID-19, Canada has reported 79,101 confirmed novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as May 19, 2020, in which severity differs from region to region. To provide a timely view and understanding evolving pandemic Canada, we develop real time interactive web-based platform primarily includes data visualization statistical analysis.
