Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleBayesian Analysis of Longitudinal Ordinal Data Using Non-Identifiable Multivariate Probit ModelsXiao ZhangMultivariate probit models have been explored foranalyzing longitudinal ordinal data. However, the inherent identification issuein multivariate probit models requires the covariance matrix of the underlyinglatent multivariate normal variables to be a correlation matrix and thushinders the development of efficient Bayesian sampling methods. It is knownthat non-identifiable models may produce Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC)samplers with better convergence and mixing than … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 14 Nov 2022 · 6,044 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSpline Estimator for Bi-Responses and Multi-Predictors Nonparametric Regression Model in Case of Longitudinal DataAdji Achmad Rinaldo Fernandes, I Nyoman Budiantara, Bambang Widjanarko Otok, SuhartonoNonparametric regression approach is used when the shape of the curve regression is unknown. The spline estimator approach for longitudinal data can accommodate the correlation between observations within the same subject, which is not found in the cross-section data, so that the autocorrelation assumption problem can be resolved. On the other hand, with bi-responses approach, it will accommodate any correlation … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 8 Oct 2015 · 7,337 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA MIXTURE DROPOUT MECHANISM IN A LONGITUDINAL STUDY WITH TWO TIME POINTS: A METHADONE STUDYZohreh Toghrayee, Parvin Jalili, Heng Chin Low, Ardavan TaghvaOne of the most important issues that confront statisticians in longitudinal studies is dropouts. A variety of reasons may lead to withdrawal from a study and produce two different missingness mechanisms, namely, missing at random and non-ignorable dropouts. Nevertheless, none of these mechanisms is tenable in most studies. In addition, it may be that not all of dropouts are nonignorable. … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 26 Apr 2014 · 6,724 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleJoint 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 accessEvery word in the titleFunctional Non-Inferiority Hypothesis Testing for Longitudinal DataArsène Brunelle Sandie, Anthony Wanjoya, Jules Brice Tchatchueng-MbouguaThe study pattern of non-inferiority trials is increasingly used to show the non-inferiority of new health intervention. Although in such studies the data are longitudinally collected (data held over a period of time), the conclusion of these non-inferiority trials is based on data observed at a specific time during the study period (usually at the end of the study period). … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 29 Aug 2019 · 6,933 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThermal Efficiency of Double Pass Solar Collector with Longitudinal Fins AbsorbersAhmad Fudholi, Kamaruzzaman Sopian, Mohd Hafidz Ruslan et al.Problem statement: One of the most important components of a solar energy system is the solar collector. The performances of double-pass solar collector with longitudinal fins absorbers are analyzed. Approach: The study involves a theoretical study to investigate the effect of mass flow rate, number and height of fins on efficiency, which involves steady-state energy balance equations on the longitudinal … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 25 Mar 2011 · 8,066 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAn Analysis of Death Using the National Longitudinal Mortality StudyMark GiusUsing an expansive survey of death that includes not only socioeconomic and demographic information on a deceased person, but also his or her cause of death, the present study attempts to examine the determinants of death. The present study uses the National Longitudinal Mortality Study, Public Use File (NMLS), which contains data on 370,930 individuals over the age of 24, … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,875 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEfficacy of an Oral Health-Promoting Program in Human Immunodeficiency Virus-Infected Children: A 7-year Longitudinal StudyNathalia Ferraz Oliscovicz, Gloria Fernanda Barbosa de Araújo Castro, Luciana Pomarico, Ivete Pomarico Ribeiro de SouzaProblem statement: Children infected with HIV have a higher prevalence of caries in both dentitions. With that in mind, it is important the introduction of programmes for the control of caries disease in this population. Thus, this study was aimed to assess the efficacy of an oral health-promoting program in controlling caries in HIV-infected children after 7 years of follow-up. … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 30 Jul 2012 · 7,907 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsCharacterisations of Parameters of Granularity of Sediments from Togolese Littoral: Granular PotentialAmey Kossi Bollanigni, Neglo KoumaThe present study aims at analysing the dimensional distribution of granulate grains all along the Togolese littoral and identifying the law of their longitudinal distributions. In this regard two hundred and ten (210) samples are collected all along the Togolese littoral from the Togo-Ghana border up to Togo-Benin border and another ten (10) samples on each side of a spike … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 8 · 10 Oct 2018 · 7,814 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsKey Factors in the Face Stability Analysis of Shallow TunnelsDaniel Dias, Pierpaolo OresteStability of the excavation face in shallow tunnels and in poor ground is at present a relevant problem in tunnelling. A new calculation procedure is illustrated in this study for the analysis of the effect on the face stability in shallow tunnels of the following key factors: pre-support structures, presence of groundwater, free length of the tunnel (length of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 9 · 24 Aug 2013 · 7,017 accessesView PDFCite
