Estimating the Burden of Cost in Chronic Graft-versus-Host Disease: A Human Capital Approach by Chris A. Jones, Luca P. Fernandez, Peter Weimersheimer, Neil A. Zakai, Michael Sharf, Oscar A. Mesa, Christian Peters, Antonio di Carlo, Mitchell C. Norotsky

“…Given that cGvHD often presents years following a transplant, our objective was to estimate its burden of cost resulting from allogeneic HSCT based on published estimates of incidence, morbidity, the value of lost work time and survivorship. Our choice of a ten-year time horizon is novel to the field of rare disease and was determined to be meaningful after consultations with present co-authors, including five physicians, one of whom is a transplant surgeon. …”

Evaluation of Spatial and Temporal Performance of Deep Learning Models for Travel Demand Forecasting: Application to Bike-Sharing Demand Forecasting by Jaehyung Lee, Jinhee Kim

“…Deep learning approaches are widely employed for forecasting short-term travel demand to respond to real-time demand. Although it is critical for demand forecasting to be evenly distributed in the spatial and temporal views to support real-time mobility service operations, in related studies, the predictive performance of models has been evaluated only in terms of aggregated errors. …”
