BACKGROUND: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease prevalent worldwide, requiring a multifaceted analytical approach to improve early detection and subsequent mitigation of morbidity and mortality rates. This research aimed to develop an explain...
In applications such as biomedical studies, epidemiology, and social sciences, recurrent events often co-occur with longitudinal measurements and a terminal event, such as death. Therefore, jointly modeling longitudinal measurements, recurrent events...
BACKGROUND: Snakebite envenoming is a serious condition that affects 2.5 million people and causes 81,000-138,000 deaths every year, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. The World Health Organization has set a goal to halve the deaths an...

Ordinal responses commonly occur in psychology, e.g., through school grades or rating scales. Where traditionally parametric statistical models like the proportional odds model have been used, machine learning (ML) methods such as random forest (RF) ...

INTRODUCTION: Stunting affects one-fifth of children globally with diarrhea accounting for an estimated 13.5% of stunting. Identifying risk factors for its precursor, linear growth faltering (LGF), is critical to designing interventions. Moreover, de...
BACKGROUND: Whether machine learning approaches are superior to classical statistical models for survival analyses, especially in the case of lack of proportionality, is unknown.
In causal inference, parametric models are usually employed to address causal questions estimating the effect of interest. However, parametric models rely on the correct model specification assumption that, if not met, leads to biased effect estimate...
