A bivariate likelihood approach for estimation of a pooled continuous effect size from a heteroscedastic meta-analysis study
Osama Almalik, Edwin R. van den Heuvel
The DerSimonian-Laird (DL) weighted average method has been widely used for estimation of a pooled effect size from an aggregated data meta-analysis study. It is mainly criticized…
Binary disease prediction using tail quantiles of the distribution of continuous biomarkers
Michiel H. J. Paus, Edwin R. van den Heuvel, Marc J. M. Meddens
In the analysis of binary disease classification, single biomarkers might not have significant discriminating power and multiple biomarkers from a large set of biomarkers should be…
Copas' method is sensitive to different mechanisms of publication bias
Osama Almalik, Zhuozhao Zhan, Edwin R. van den Heuvel
Copas' method corrects a pooled estimate from an aggregated data meta-analysis for publication bias. Its performance has been studied for one particular mechanism of publication bi…
Robust probabilistic modeling of photoplethysmography signals with application to the classification of premature beats
M. Regis, L. M. Eerikäinen, R. Haakma +2
In this paper we propose a robust approach to model photoplethysmography (PPG) signals. After decomposing the signal into two components, we focus the analysis on the pulsatile par…
