This paper compares the finite sample performance of the canonical correlation regression estimator (CCR) and Stock and Watson's (A simple estimator of cointegration vectors in higher order integrated systems, Econometrica, 1993, 61(4), 783-820) dynamic ordinary least squares estimator (DOLS) using the models proposed by Inder (Journal of Econometrics, 1993, 57, 53-68). The CCR estimator shows ...

Introdução: O carcinoma de células renais (CCR) representa 80 a 90% todos os cânceres com pico incidência entre 60–70 anos idade. Os três sintomas mais comuns são hematúria, dor flanco e massa flanco. A melhor opção tratamento para doenças crônicas é o transplante renal. doença renal crônica um dos fatores risco CCR. maioria casos diagnosticada após renal; diagnóstico durante trabalho em pacien...

The amylase/creatinine clearance ratio (Cam/Ccr ratio) was determined in 239 subjects. In 87 hospitalised patients without pancreatic disease (controls) the Cam/Ccr ratio was 3.02 +/- 0.69 (mean +/- ISD). The ratio was above the normal range in all patients with acute pancreatitis but was normal in those with chronic pancreatitis and carcinoma of the pancreas. In 18 patients with choledocholith...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation (CCR), which integrates structured lifestyle interventions and medications, reduces morbidity and mortality among cardiac patients. CCR has not typically been used with cerebrovascular populations, despite important commonalities with heart patients. We tested feasibility and effectiveness of 6-month outpatient CCR for secondary preven...

Abstract Real-world classification domains, such as medicine, health and safety, finance, often exhibit imbalanced class priors have asynchronous misclassification costs. In cases, the model must achieve a high recall without significantly impacting precision. Resampling training data is standard approach to improving performance on binary data. However, state-of-the-art methods ignore local jo...

BACKGROUND Equations for estimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR) have not been validated in Sub-Saharan African populations, and data on GFR are few. METHODS GFR by creatinine clearance (Ccr) using 24-hour urine collections and estimated GFR (eGFR) using the four-variable Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD-4)[creatinine calibrated to isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS) stan...
