When medicine reverses itself: avoiding practice pitfalls.
An article in American Family Physician summarizing the top 20 research studies of 2011 reported on a number of practical, patientoriented findings.1 One striking feature of this article is the inclusion of several studies that challenge traditional medical opinion. In the 1990s, for example, high-carbohydrate, low-fat diets were all the rage; now the Mediterranean diet is shown to have better ...
متن کاملMoving towards best practice when using inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) using the propensity score to estimate causal treatment effects in observational studies
The propensity score is defined as a subject's probability of treatment selection, conditional on observed baseline covariates. Weighting subjects by the inverse probability of treatment received creates a synthetic sample in which treatment assignment is independent of measured baseline covariates. Inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) using the propensity score allows one to obtai...
متن کاملAvoid Common Pitfalls When Using Henry's Law
Henry’s law and the Henry’s constant are widely used in chemical and environmental engineering. Unfortunately, many people do not appreciate that the Henry’s “constant” is not a true constant, but instead has a significant non-linear temperature dependence. Ignoring this temperature dependence can lead to serious inaccuracies. This article discusses the temperature dependence of the Henry’s con...
متن کاملPotential pitfalls when denoising resting state fMRI data using nuisance regression
In resting state fMRI, it is necessary to remove signal variance associated with noise sources, leaving cleaned fMRI time-series that more accurately reflect the underlying intrinsic brain fluctuations of interest. This is commonly achieved through nuisance regression, in which the fit is calculated of a noise model of head motion and physiological processes to the fMRI data in a General Linear...
متن کاملA New Approach to Estimate RED Parameters Using Function Regression
Random Early Drop (RED) is widely applied in Mobile Ad-hoc NETworks (MANETs) for congestion control. It randomly drops packets to prevent congestion from occurring, while keeping proper queue size of Route Request (RREQ) packets at the same time. Unfortunately, in the case of severe congestion and large amounts of RREQ packets in the queue, RED algorithm with tune parameters is not able to impr...
