The time between the onset of subsequent auditory or visual stimuli - also known as stimulus onset asynchrony (SOA) - determines many of the event-related potential characteristics of the resulting evoked brain signals. Specifically, the SOA value in...
BACKGROUND: Super learning is an ensemble machine learning approach used increasingly as an alternative to classical prediction techniques. When implementing super learning, however, not tuning the hyperparameters of the algorithms in it may adversel...
Massive data sets are often regarded as a panacea to the underpowered studies of the past. At the same time, it is becoming clear that in many of these data sets in which thousands of variables are measured across hundreds of thousands or millions of...
OBJECTIVE: As a step towards objectifying audiological rehabilitation and providing comparability between different test batteries and clinics, the Common Audiological Functional Parameters (CAFPAs) were introduced as a common and abstract representa...

Deep learning tools have been a new way for privacy attacks on remote sensing images. However, since labeled data of privacy objects in remote sensing images are less, the samples for training are commonly small. Besides, traditional deep neural netw...
BACKGROUND: Obtaining unbiased causal estimates from longitudinal observational data can be difficult due to exposure-affected time-varying confounding. The past decade has seen considerable development in methods for analysing such complex longitudi...
Using Super Learner, a machine learning statistical method, we assessed varicella zoster virus-specific glycoprotein-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (gpELISA) antibody titer as an individual-level signature of herpes zoster (HZ) risk in the Z...
Recent years have seen an increased interest in machine learning-based predictive methods for analyzing quantitative behavioral data in experimental psychology. While these methods can achieve relatively greater sensitivity compared to conventional u...
In this paper, we propose a structural framework for population-based cancer epidemiology and evaluate the performance of double-robust estimators for a binary exposure in cancer mortality. We conduct numerical analyses to study the bias and efficien...
