Short Communication Recent BRCAPRO Upgrades Significantly Improve Calibration
The recent release of version 2.0-8 of the BayesMendel package contains an updated BRCAPRO risk predictionmodel,which includes revisedmodelingof contralateral breast cancer (CBC)penetrance, provisions for pedigrees of mixed ethnicity and an adjustment for mastectomies among family members. We estimated penetrance functions for CBC by a combination of parametric survival modeling of literature d...
متن کاملRecent Enhancements to the Genetic Risk Prediction Model BRCAPRO
BRCAPRO is a widely used model for genetic risk prediction of breast cancer. It is a function within the R package BayesMendel and is used to calculate the probabilities of being a carrier of a deleterious mutation in one or both of the BRCA genes, as well as the probability of being affected with breast and ovarian cancer within a defined time window. Both predictions are based on information ...
متن کاملRecent Developments and Upgrades to the Geant4 Geometry Modeller
The Geometry modeller is a key component of the Geant4 toolkit [1,2]. It has been designed to exploit at the best the features provided by the Geant4 simulation toolkit, allowing the description of the geometrical structure of complex detectors in a natural way, ranging from a few up to hundreds of thousands volumes of the LHC experiments, as well as human phantoms for medical applications or d...
متن کاملAggregating multiple probability intervals to improve calibration
We apply the principles of the “Wisdom of Crowds (WoC)” to improve the calibration of interval estimates. Previous research has documented the significant impact of the WoC on the accuracy of point estimates but only a few studies have examined its effectiveness in aggregating interval estimates. We demonstrate that collective probability intervals obtained by several heuristics can reduce the ...
متن کاملMicroarray results improve significantly as hybridization approaches equilibrium.
Dual-channel long oligonucleotide microarrays are in widespread use. Although much attention has been given to proper experimental design and analysis regarding long oligonucleotide microarrays, relatively little information is available concerning the optimization of protocols. We carried out a series of microarray experiments designed to investigate the effects of different levels of target c...
