1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The mixture of probabilistic regression models is one of the most common techniques to incorporate the information of covariates into learning of the population heterogeneity. Despite its flexibility, unreliable estimates can occur due to multicollinearity among covariates. In this paper, we develop Liu-type shrinkage methods through an unsupervised learning approach to estimate the model coefficients in the presence of multicollinearity. We evaluate the performance of our proposed methods via classification and stochastic versions of the expectation-maximization algorithm. We show using numerical simulations that the proposed methods outperform their Ridge and maximum likelihood counterparts. Finally, we apply our methods to analyze the bone mineral data of women aged 50 and older.
