The outcome of myelodysplastic syndrome ( MDS ) patients with uniformly higher‐risk disease
treated with azacitidine ( AZA ) in the ‘real‐world’ remains largely unknown. We evaluated …

In this paper we consider the estimation problem for the quasi-likelihood model in presence
of non-sample information (NSI). More specifically, we introduce a shrinkage estimation …

In partially linear models, we consider methodology for simultaneous model selection and
parameter estimation with random coefficient autoregressive errors by using lasso and …

In this paper, we consider improved estimation strategies for the parameter vector in multiple
regression models with first-order random coefficient autoregressive errors (RCAR(1)). We …

An intraclass correlation coefficient observed in several populations is estimated. The basis
is a variance-stabilizing transformation. It is shown that the intraclass correlation coefficient …

Background: In the AZA-001 trial, azacitidine (AZA) altered the natural history of patients
with higher-risk MDS (Fenaux et al., Lancet 2009) by significantly improving overall survival …

Mechanically-induced self-sustaining reactions (MSRs) in WO 3 single bondB 2 O 3 single
bondMgsingle bondC powder mixtures were investigated in terms of reductant content. Also, …

In this dissertation we propose shrinkage estimators and absolute penalty estimators (APEs)
in linear models, partially linear models (PLM) and quasi-likelihood models. We study the …

242 Background: There is uncertainty regarding the optimal systemic treatment for patients
with SBA and AA due to the limited available evidence for these uncommon malignancies …
