Lesser sensitivity and positive predictive value of fecal immunochemical test (FIT) in right-sided advanced colorectal neoplasia than left-sided lesionsKim, H SByun, J WWon, C SChoi, HPark, S YKwon, Y HKim, J W
Follow-up colonoscopy completion is alarmingly low; given the positive predictive value of the FIT tests used in this study for identifying advanced adenoma or cancer (range 0.17 to 0.3023), an expected 161 to 286 individuals in the Stop CRC cohort of 11,427 participants are at unnecessary ...
Positive Human Health Effects of Wearing a Respirator in a Swine Barn A study was conducted to evaluate theacute health effects of wearing an N-95 disposable respirator in aswine confinement facility. A crossovertrial design ... James A. Dosman, Ambikaipakan Senthilselvan, Shelley P. Kirychu...
ROC: Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) Curve is a way to quantify the diagnostic value of a test over its whole range of possible cutoffs for classifying patients as positive vs. negative. In each possible cutoff, the true positive rate and the false positive rate are calculated as the...
According to the plot, the spatial autocorrelation of the residuals of model.non.spatial is highly positive for a neighborhood of 0 and 1000 km, while it becomes non-significant (p-value > 0.05) at 2000, 4000, and 8000 km. To reduce the spatial autocorrelation of the residuals as much ...

and 6.4 % (39–47 mmol/mol) [3]. Alternatively, diabetes can be diagnosed by measuring fasting plasma glucose concentrations or by performing a two-hour plasma glucose tolerance test [1]. HbA1cresults have a strong predictive value for the occurrence of diabetes complications. Therefore, ...
I am running CFA and MIMIC models, and checking the fitness of the models: while the CFI/TLI are around 0.93, and RMSEA close to 0.06, the p-value for Chi-square Test of Model Fit is 0.0000. It seems there is a paradox: while the CFI/TLI and RMSEA indicate the models fit the dat...
Positive values of lnRR imply greater mean grades for girls. We extended the literature search in Voyer and Voyer6 by 5 years, and our analysis of mean grades differed from theirs in two ways: (1) we included only studies where we could compare variances, and; (2) we used lnRR instead...
YTest = Y(testIdx); Train a quantile linear regression model. Specify to use the0.25,0.50, and0.75quantiles (that is, the lower quartile, median, and upper quartile). To improve the model fit, change the beta tolerance to1e-6instead of the default value1e-4. Use a ridge (L2) regul...
