Regression factor score predictors have the maximum determinacy, that is, correlation with corresponding factor, but they do not same inter-correlations as factors. As it might be useful to compute factors, correlation-preserving been proposed. However, smaller correlations factors (factor determinacy) than regression predictors. Thus, higher determinacy goes along bias of and unbiased go lower...

microRNAs (miRNA) are promising predictors in colorectal cancer (CRC). We investigated whether miRNAs could predict adenoma recurrence in patients with advanced colorectal adenoma (ACRA) after polypectomy. miRNA expression profiling was performed by miRNA microarray to identify recurrence-related miRNAs. Candidate miRNAs extracted from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded blocks of patients with AC...
