Predictive utility of nomogram based on serum glucose-regulated protein 78 and kidney function for long-term kidney graft survival by Keiji Fujimoto, Hiroki Adachi, Serina Kita, Megumi Sakuma, Hirotaka Yamanouchi, Sho Kumano, Ai Fujii, Keita Yamazaki, Keiichiro Okada, Norifumi Hayashi, Kengo Furuichi

“…However, calibration, evaluated by the calibration plot, indicated superiority of the nomogram over the eGFR model, confirmed in the internal validation cohort using the Bootstrap method. Regarding clinical value evaluated by decision curve analysis, the nomogram showed a greater net benefit than the eGFR model, especially at wider diagnostic thresholds (particularly important lower thresholds). …”

Entropy-based models to randomise real-world hypergraphs by Fabio Saracco, Giovanni Petri, Renaud Lambiotte, Tiziano Squartini

“…First, we generalise key network metrics to hypergraphs; then, we compute their expected value and compare it with the empirical one, in order to detect deviations from random behaviours. Our method is analytically tractable, scalable and capable of revealing structural patterns of real-world hypergraphs that differ significantly from those emerging as a consequence of simpler constraints.…”
