The parameters of all predictors were divided into two prognosis groups, good or poor.
In addition, we divided the parameters of all predictors into only two prognosis groups, good or poor.
All covariates with p < 0.2 in the univariate analysis were entered initially, and the parameter estimates of predictors of statin exposure were examined after the removal of each potential covariate with p > 0.20 to assess for possible confounding.
In this paper, Modified Firefly Algorithm has been used for optimizing the controller parameters of Smith predictor structure.
For this response variable, we rely on the bootstrap analyses to assess whether confidence intervals for parameter estimates of predictor variables include zero.
It utilizes the singular value decomposition of the normalized predictors, and allows bigger deviation from zero to the regression parameters of the orthonormalized predictors which are known to explain the original predictor variability most, i.e., have biggest singular values.
The numbers in Table 3 reveal that when the parameters of Kuznetsov' s predictor and the hybrid predictor are set to deliver comparable levels of specificity, the hybrid predictor can deliver higher sensitivity and precision.
In addition, the advantage of this study lies in the use of the C-index of several multivariate logistic regression models to compare the importance of PET parameters as predictors of occult lymph node metastasis.
However, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first investigation of the prognostic value of blood physicochemical parameters as predictors of AKI survival in patients with metabolic acidosis at the time of ICU admission.
We sought to test the relevance of echocardiographic parameters as predictors of death or hospitalization for cardiovascular reasons.
