Stochastic Bernstein (SB) approximation can tackle the problem of baseline drift correction of instrumentation data.This is demonstrated for spectral data: matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF) data.Two SB schemes for removing the baseline drift are presented: iterative and direct.Following an expl
Abstract Background A national endoscopic screening program for gastric cancer was rolled out in Japan in 2015.We used a microsimulation model to estimate the cost-effectiveness of current screening guidelines and alternative screening strategies in Japan.Methods We developed a microsimulation model that simulated a virtual population corresponding
