Likelihood-based Inference with Missing Data Under Missing-at-Random

Scandinavian Journal of Statistics, 43(2), 436–454.

By: S. Yang* & J. Kim*

author keywords: confidence interval; fractional imputation; likelihood ratio; nonresponse; profile likelihood ratio
TL;DR: This work has shown that approximating the integral by Monte Carlo sampling does not necessarily lead to a valid likelihood over the entire parameter space because the Monte Carlo samples are generated from a distribution with a fixed parameter value. (via Semantic Scholar)

Multiple biomarker models for improved risk estimation of specific cardiovascular diseases related to metabolic syndrome: A cross-sectional study

Population Health Metrics, 13(1).

Contributors: E. Coffman* & J. Richmond-Bryant*

author keywords: Cardiovascular disease; Biomarkers; Metabolic syndrome; Joint associations; NHANES
TL;DR: Results indicate that the use of multiple biomarkers in a single multivariate model may provide increased accuracy of individual biomarker association estimates by controlling for statistical artifacts and spurious relationships due to co-biomarker confounding. (via Semantic Scholar)
