Simultaneous Inference in General Parametric Models

Torsten Hothorn, Frank Bretz, Peter H. Westfall · 15 May 2008

Simultaneous inference is a common problem in many areas of application. If multiple null hypotheses are tested simultaneously, the probability of rejecting erroneously at least one of them increases beyond the pre-specified significance level. Simultaneous inference procedures have to be used which adjust for multiplicity and thus control the overall type I error rate. In…

Estimation of the Youden Index and its Associated Cutoff Point

Ronen Fluss, David Faraggi, Benjamin Reiser · 1 Aug 2005

The Youden Index is a frequently used summary measure of the ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristic) curve. It both, measures the effectiveness of a diagnostic marker and enables the selection of an optimal threshold value (cutoff point) for the marker. In this paper we compare several estimation procedures for the Youden Index and its associated cutoff…

Variable selection – A review and recommendations for the practicing statistician

Georg Heinze, Christine Wallisch, Daniela Dunkler · 2 Jan 2018

Statistical models support medical research by facilitating individualized outcome prognostication conditional on independent variables or by estimating effects of risk factors adjusted for covariates. Theory of statistical models is well-established if the set of independent variables to consider is fixed and small. Hence, we can assume that effect estimates are unbiased and the usual methods…

Youden Index and Optimal Cut‐Point Estimated from Observations Affected by a Lower Limit of Detection

Marcus D. Ruopp, Neil J. Perkins, Brian W. Whitcomb et al. · 25 Apr 2008

The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve is used to evaluate a biomarker's ability for classifying disease status. The Youden Index (J), the maximum potential effectiveness of a biomarker, is a common summary measure of the ROC curve. In biomarker development, levels may be unquantifiable below a limit of detection (LOD) and missing from the overall…

<i>L</i><sub>1</sub>Penalized Estimation in the Cox Proportional Hazards Model

Jelle J. Goeman · 24 Nov 2009

This article presents a novel algorithm that efficiently computes L(1) penalized (lasso) estimates of parameters in high-dimensional models. The lasso has the property that it simultaneously performs variable selection and shrinkage, which makes it very useful for finding interpretable prediction rules in high-dimensional data. The new algorithm is based on a combination of gradient ascent…

Biometrical Journal template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Biometrical Journal format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Biometrical Journal template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Wiley format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Biometrical Journal use?
Biometrical Journal uses Author–year (Chicago) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, Ada, Ben Jones, and Cara Lee. 2023. "A Representative Article Title." Biometrical Journal 12 (3): 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Biometrical Journal?
No. DocuGuru generates the USG LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Wiley-ready Biometrical Journal document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Biometrical Journal template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Biometrical Journal format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes Biometrical Journal?
