Using random-forest multiple imputation to address bias of self-reported anthropometric measures, hypertension and hypercholesterolemia in the Belgian health interview survey
regression model’s accuracy was poor, multiple imputation was the only approach which provided smaller standard errors than those based on clinical data. CONCLUSIONS: The random-forest multiple imputation ...
EBoD-FL. Guidelines for mapping the environmental burden of disease in Flanders
Selection of risk factors: Which risk factors are included in the study and how is exposure quantified as a metric? Exposure assessment: how to measure or model exposure to the risk factors in the population? ...
Sex differences in diabetic foot ulcer severity and outcome in Belgium
study. Data were collected on demographics, medical history, current DFU and outcome. For data analysis, a Generalized Estimating Equation model and an adjusted Cox proportional hazards regression ...
Predicting the severity of the grass pollen season and the effect of climate change in Northwest Europe
guidance addressing these questions. We propose two previously unexplored approaches for forecasting the severity of the grass pollen season on the basis of statistical and mechanistic models. The results ...
