Concordance-based Predictive Uncertainty (CPU)-Index: Proof-of-concept with application towards improved specificity of lung cancers on low dose screening CT.

Journal Article Artif Intell Med · February 2025 In this paper, we introduce a novel concordance-based predictive uncertainty (CPU)-Index, which integrates insights from subgroup analysis and personalized AI time-to-event models. Through its application in refining lung cancer screening (LCS) predictions ... Full text Link to item Cite

Some Properties on the Reversibility and the Linear Response Theory of Langevin Dynamics

Journal Article Acta Applicandae Mathematicae · December 1, 2024 Linear response theory is a fundamental framework studying the macroscopic response of a physical system to an external perturbation. This paper focuses on the rigorous mathematical justification of linear response theory for Langevin dynamics. We give som ... Full text Cite
