INTRODUCTION: Osteoporosis, a common condition characterised by decreased bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration, leading to increased fracture risk, is a significant health concern. Traditional diagnostic methods, such as Dual-energy X-ray A...
Heterogeneous treatment effect estimation is an important problem in precision medicine. Specific interests lie in identifying the differential effect of different treatments based on some external covariates. We propose a novel non-parametric treatm...

In low-income and resource-limited countries, distinguishing COVID-19 from other respiratory diseases is challenging due to similar symptoms and the prevalence of comorbidities. In Yemen, acute comorbidities further complicate the differentiation bet...
OBJECTIVE: AIDS is a highly fatal infectious disease of Class B, and Xinjiang is a high-incidence region for AIDS in China. The core of prevention and control lies in early monitoring and early warning. This study aims to identify the best model for ...
The test-negative design (TND), which is routinely used for monitoring seasonal flu vaccine effectiveness (VE), has recently become integral to COVID-19 vaccine surveillance, notably in Québec, Canada. Some studies have addressed the identifiability ...
Prediction of outcomes in perioperative medicine is key to decision-making and various prediction models have been created to help quantify and communicate those risks to both patients and clinicians. Increasingly, machine learning (ML) is being favo...

Abnormal behavior detection in surveillance video, as one of the essential functions in the intelligent surveillance system, plays a vital role in anti-terrorism, maintaining stability, and ensuring social security. Aiming at the problem of extremely...
Targeted maximum likelihood estimation (TMLE) is an increasingly popular framework for the estimation of causal effects. It requires modeling both the exposure and outcome but is doubly robust in the sense that it is valid if at least one of these mo...
The increasing use of ionizing radiation has raised concerns about adverse and long-term health risks for individuals. Therefore, to evaluate the range of risks and protection against ionizing radiation, it is necessary to assess the dosimetry calcul...
