Phases of Biomarker Development for Early Detection of Cancer
Margaret S. Pepe,Ruth Etzioni,Ziding Feng,John D. Potter,Mary Lou Thompson,Mark D. Thornquist,Marcy Winget,Yutaka Yasui +7 more
TL;DR: The purpose of this commentary is to define a formal structure to guide the process of biomarker development and to provide a checklist of issues that should be addressed at each phase of development before proceeding to the next.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence odds ratio or prevalence ratio in the analysis of cross sectional data: what is to be done?
TL;DR: The POR is difficult to interpret without making restrictive assumptions and the POR and PR may lead to different conclusions with regard to confounding and effect modification, but the PR is conservative, consistent, and interpretable relative to the IRR and should be used in preference to the PORN.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recreational Physical Activity During Pregnancy and Risk of Preeclampsia
Tanya K. Sorensen,Michelle A. Williams,I-Min Lee,Edward E. Dashow,Mary Lou Thompson,David A. Luthy +5 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that regular physical activity, particularly when performed during the year before pregnancy and during early pregnancy, is associated with a reduced risk of preeclampsia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Combining diagnostic test results to increase accuracy.
TL;DR: This work proposes a distribution-free rank-based approach for optimizing the area under the ROC curve and compares it with logistic regression and with classic linear discriminant analysis (LDA), finding that the proposed non-parametric method is efficient when data are multivariate normal.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of statistical methods for the meteorological adjustment of tropospheric ozone
TL;DR: A variety of statistical methods for meteorological adjustment of ozone have been proposed in the literature over the last decade for purposes of forecasting, estimating ozone time trends, or investigating underlying mechanisms from an empirical perspective.
