A New Nakagami–Weibull Non-Mixture Cure Model with Applications to Right-Censored Survival Data

Cure fraction models provide a useful framework for analysing survival data in which some individuals may never experience the event of interest. This paper introduces a flexible Nakagami–Weibull Non-Mixture Cure (NWNMC) model for right-censored survival data with a long-term sur...

An Interpretable MACD–SCDM Framework for Sepsis Risk Modeling from Longitudinal Laboratory Trajectories

Early identification of sepsis from electronic health records (EHRs) remains challenging because longitudinal laboratory measurements are irregularly sampled, incomplete, and dependent on the observation period. This study presents an interpretable temporal feature-engineering fr...

Tracking Plasmodium falciparum Histidine-rich protein 2/3 gene deletion in RDT-negative samples among febrile children in Nigeria

Background: Nigeria, one of the most malaria-endemic regions globally, relies heavily on rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) targeting Plasmodium falciparum histidine-rich protein 2/3 (Pfhrp2/3). However, emerging deletions in these genes can lead to false-negative results, undermining...
