Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMeasures of Explained Variation and the Base-Rate Problem for Logistic RegressionDinesh Sharma, Dan McGee, B.M. Golam KibriaProblem statement: Logistic regression, perhaps the most frequently used regression model after the General Linear Model (GLM), is extensively used in the field of medical science to analyze prognostic factors in studies of dichotomous outcomes. Unlike the GLM, many different proposals have been made to measure the explained variation in logistic regression analysis. One of the limitations of these measures … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 25 Feb 2012 · 8,576 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Path Analysis to Understanding the Epidemiology of Murine Typhus in South TexasHongwei Wang, Orlando M. Patricio, Fernando G. Quintana et al.This study aims to investigate statistically if there is a causality for the murine typhus endemic disease related to precipitation, temperature and the natural cycle of flea development in South Texas. Path analysis was used to determine the mediating and moderating variables that cause murine typhus disease. Three path diagram models were tested. Model 3 shows a clearer path on … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 4 Mar 2024 · 5,584 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMental Health Patterns of Young Children of Unmarried Parents: A Latent Class AnalysisThuy Dang, Denisse Avila, Eunice LeeDespite a considerable number of accounts on the emotional health and development of young children in single-parent, divorced, cohabiting families, patterns of emotional well-being that exist among young children living with unmarried parents and which patterns most children of this group exhibit have remained unknown. Further, racial differences and families' social economic status have been empirically documented as influential factors … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 19 Jul 2023 · 6,827 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssociation Between Particulate Matter (PM10) Exposure and Cardiorespiratory Hospital Admissions: A Time Series AnalysisNur Nabila Abd Rahim, Abqariyah Yahya, Wan Rozita Wan MahiyuddinThis study aimed to evaluate the association between particulate matter (PM10) exposure and cardiorespiratory hospital admissions and develop a time series model for cardiorespiratory hospital admissions in Johor, Malaysia. Retrospective time series analysis was utilised to study cardiorespiratory hospital admissions for the study period 2015-2016. Over-dispersed Poisson generalized linear models with parametric smoothing functions were used to examine the association … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 2 · 27 May 2021 · 6,917 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractJoint Modelling of Longitudinal-Time-To-Event with Categorical Variable Indicators of Latent Classes: Application to Tuberculosis DataAdeboye Azeez, Mutambayi Ruffin, Ndege James, Qin YongsongIn many clinical and reliability research reports, the outcomes of basic interest is the time to a particular event happens in order to indicate the person’s “true” state of health or survival status. Different models have been used to analyze such data separately, but may be unsuitable if the longitudinal and health status measures are correlated. In this study, mixed … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 9 Jun 2020 · 6,686 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSurvival Analysis of Data of HIV Infected Persons Receiving Antiretroviral Therapy Using a Model-Based Binary Tree ApproachSimon Tiendrébéogo, Blaise Somé, Séni Kouanda, Simplice Dossou-GbétéDiscrete-time approach is used in survival data analysis when only the time interval in which the event of interest has occurred is known or when this event occurs in a discrete - time scale. The work presented in this paper is motivated by the analysis of HIV/AIDS follow-up data collected in Burkina Faso during the 5-YEAR Global Fund program implemented … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 24 Dec 2019 · 6,495 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparing the Diagnostics Accuracy of CD4+ T-Lymphocyte Count and Percent as a Surrogate Markers of Pediatric HIV DiseaseMusie Ghebremichael, Haben Michael, Jack Tubbs, Elijah PaintsilThe percentage CD4+ T-lymphocytes is used to monitor pediatric HIV disease. However, in resource-limited settings, enumerating the percentage of CD4+ T-lymphocytes is hampered by the lack of laboratory infrastructure and trained technicians. In this paper, we investigated the performances of the percentage and absolute CD4+ T-lymphocytes as markers of pediatric HIV disease progression using data from HIV-infected children enrolled through … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 3 Apr 2019 · 7,521 accessesView PDFCite
Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the abstractRace and Consequences: An Examination of Police Abuse in AmericaNicole L. Martin, Augustine J. KposowaThe past few years have witnessed numerous media images of law enforcement officers shooting and in many cases, killing unarmed African American men and women. In significant amount of the cases, despite overwhelming video footage, police officers have not been held accountable for their actions. Most of the incidents have involved White policemen killing African American men. The study aimed … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 28 Jan 2019 · 9,659 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Extended Semi-Parametric Accelerated Failure Time Cure Model for Partial Cure Information KnownYu Wu, Yong Lin, Shou-En Lu et al.Cure model is a useful model for analyzing failure time data when there is evidence of long-term survivors. In traditional cure models, it is assumed that the cured or uncured status in the censored set cannot be distinguished. However, in many occasions, data of some diagnostic procedures, with some sensitivity and specificity, may have provided partial information about the cured … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 11 Dec 2018 · 7,618 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUnivariate Generalized Additive Models for Simulated Stationary and Non-Stationary Generalized Pareto DistributionMostafa Behzadi, Mohd Bakri Adam, Anwar FitriantoGeneralized additive models as a predictor in regression approaches, are made up over cubic spline basis and penalized regression splines. Despite of linear predictor in GLM, generalized additive models use a sum of smooth functions of covariates as a predictor. The data which are used in this study have generalized Pareto distribution and have been simulated by inversion method. The … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 3 Jun 2017 · 7,430 accessesView PDFCite
