This article considers replicability of the performance of predictors across studies. We suggest a general approach to investigating this issue, based on ensembles of prediction models trained on different studies. We quantify how the common practice...
There are limited biomarkers for substance use disorders (SUDs). Traditional statistical approaches are identifying simple biomarkers in large samples, but clinical use cases are still being established. High-throughput clinical, imaging, and 'omic' ...
Many real-world medical datasets contain some proportion of missing (attribute) values. In general, missing value imputation can be performed to solve this problem, which is to provide estimations for the missing values by a reasoning process based o...
