Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSpiral Binomial and Related Distributions for Obsession to AbortionRamalingam ShanmugamRepeated abortion is considered an important health concern by the pregnant women and the governments. Educating the public about the impact of abortion becomes the government’s responsibility. For this purpose, the government agencies turn to health and medical researchers for opinion about the impact of abortion. The public health researchers turn to data for clues and seek pertinent data information … …International Journal of Research in Nursing, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 13 Aug 2012 · 6,723 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDynamic Bayesian Networks in Classification-and-Ranking Architecture of Response GenerationAida Mustapha, Md. Nasir Sulaiman, Ramlan Mahmod, Mohd. Hasan SelamatProblem statement: The first component in classification-and-ranking architecture is a Bayesian classifier that classifies user utterances into response classes based on their semantic and pragmatic interpretations. Bayesian networks are sufficient if data is limited to single user input utterance. However, if the classifier is able to collate features from a sequence of previous n-1 user utterances, the additional information may … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 27 Dec 2010 · 8,106 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFuzzy Method for Online Learning of Bayesian Network ParametersMariana D.C. Lima, Silvia M. NassarIn learning problems, there are situations where training data is not fully available at the learning time. They are incrementally generated by time, defining a type of domain called online that has among its characteristics the possibility of data failure or even missing data. In Bayesian networks, learning is divided into two categories: structure (related to the graph of conditional … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 15, Issue 3 · 16 Mar 2019 · 7,502 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNew Bivariate Exponentiated Modified Weibull DistributionAbdelfattah Mustafa, Mohamed A.W. MahmoudThe new modified Weibull distribution named exponentiated modified Weibull distribution introduced by many authors. In this study, we define and study a bivariate modified Weibull distribution. Some joint probability functions and conditional probability density function are obtained. Also, joint survival function is expressed in compact form. Several statistical properties of this distribution are discussed. In the area of stress-strength models, … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 31 Oct 2017 · 7,003 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Bivariate Distribution with Generalized Quadratic Hazard Rate MarginalsAbdelfattah MustafaRecently, Sarhan (2009) introduced a new distribution named generalized quadratic hazard rate distribution. In this study, we define a bivariate Generalized Quadratic Hazard Rate Distribution (BGQHRD). The joint cumulative distribution function and joint survival function are derived in compact forms. Several properties of BGQFRD have been discussed. The conditional probability density function, rth moments and joint and marginal moment generating … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 3 Nov 2016 · 6,751 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Bayesian Adaptive Design for Combination of Three Drugs in Cancer Phase I Clinical TrialsMourad Tighiouart, Quanlin Li, Steven Piantadosi, Andre RogatkoWe describe a Bayesian adaptive design for early phase cancer trials of a combination of three agents. This is an extension of an earlier work by the authors by allowing all three agents to vary during the trial and by assigning different drug combinations to cohorts of three patients. The primary objective is to estimate the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 25 Aug 2016 · 8,426 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordLevel of Non-Matching Primary Transplant Cases According to Repeat Transplants Cases and a New Bivariate Poisson DistributionRamalingam ShanmugamIn their practice, healthcare administrators and professionals often wonder about the non-matching level organs in transplants for the sake of future forecasting. Currently, there is no appropriate methodology to analyze the pertinent transplant data and describe the patterns. The lack of a suitable methodology in the literature originates from an incorrect impression that the primary transplant cases and the repeat … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 10 Jul 2017 · 9,154 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordPROBING NON-ADHERENCE TO PRESCRIBED MEDICINES? A BIVARIATE DISTRIBUTION WITH INFORMATION NUCLEUS CLARIFIESRamalingam ShanmugamNo illness gets cured without the patient’s adherence to the prescribed medicine (s). Reasons such as too many medicines, lack of health insurance coverage, high co-payment cost, loss of cognitive memory to take. are commonly noticed for non-adherence. In some illnesses, the patients who do not adhere to the prescribed medicines end up again in hospital. How should the pertinent … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 17 Jul 2014 · 7,227 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordInformatics About Fear to Report Rapes Using Bumped-Up Poisson ModelRamalingam ShanmugamThe rape victims are frightened to report with a fear of retaliation or humiliation. Consequently, the number of reported rapes is under-estimated. How should the number of unreported rapes be identified is discussed in this article. For this purpose, the Poisson distribution is modified and it is named Bumped-up Poisson distribution in this article. Related probability-informatics are derived to estimate … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 4 Nov 2013 · 15,799 accessesView PDF Cite
