Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsStatistical Bayesian Learning for Automatic Arabic Text CategorizationBassam Al-Salemi, Mohd. Juzaiddin Ab AzizProblem statement: The rapid increasing of online Arabic documents necessitated applying Text Categorization techniques that are commonly used for English language to categorize them automatically. The complex morphology of Arabic language and its large vocabulary size make applying these techniques directly difficult and costly in time and effort. Approach: We have investigated Bayesian learning models in order to enhance Arabic … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 27 Dec 2010 · 8,399 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPrevalence and Risk Factors of Bovine Fascioliasis in Northeastern PeruClavel Diaz-Quevedo, Hugo Frias et al.Bovine fascioliasis in Peru is highly prevalent in almost all regions; however, there are few studies about its prevalence in the region of Amazonas. This research aimed to determine the prevalence and risk factors associated with fascioliasis from four livestock basins in the Amazonas region. A total of 941 bovine feces samples were analyzed and a prevalence of 52% was … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 3 · 25 Jul 2023 · 5,685 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDoes Over or Under Dispersion in Inverse Binomial Data Suggest Anything? A Case in Point is the Waiting Time for Both Heart-Lung TransplantsRamalingam ShanmugamThe model is an abstraction of the reality. The selection of the usual inverse binomial as an underlying model for the number of patients waiting in months for heart and lung transplant is questionable because the data exhibit not the required balance between the dispersion and its functional equivalent in terms of the mean but rather an over or under … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 29 Jan 2014 · 6,888 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsInformatics 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 · 15,788 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMultilevel Ordinal Response Modeling of Trend of Breastfeeding InitiationWaheed Babatunde Yahya, Samson Babatunde AdebayoThe amount of health benefits derived from breastfeeding is influenced by age of the child at initiation of the first breast milk, the duration and intensity of breastfeeding and age at which the child is introduced to supplementary foods and other liquids. In this study, the general trend of timing of breastfeeding initiation among nursing mothers in Nigeria between 1990 … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 4 Sep 2013 · 8,157 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsTruncated Estimate in Log-Binomial Model: Algorithm and SimulationLuyan Dai, Yang Li, Ye ShenProblem statement: Relative risk has concrete meanings of comparing two groups and measuring the association between exposures and outcomes in medical and public health studies. Log-binomial model, using a log link function on binary outcomes, is straightforward to estimate risk ratios, whereas generates boundary problems. When the estimates are located near the boundary of constrained parameter space, common approaches or … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 7 May 2012 · 8,291 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsTrends in Maximum Daily Rainfall in Marginal Desert Environment: Signs of Climate ChangeKhaldoun A. Al-Qudah, Abdullah A. SmadiProblem statement: Change in intense precipitation has been used as an indicator for anticipated climate change. The trend in maximum daily rainfall in 10 rainfall stations distributed in the north and north east of Jordan has been investigated. Based on mean annual rainfall and geographic location, rainfall stations were divided into subhumid, semi-arid and arid stations. Approach: The regression approach … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 14 Sep 2011 · 7,401 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMeasure for No Three-Factor Interaction Model in Three-Way Contingency TablesKouji Yamamoto, Kyoji Hori, Sadao TomizawaProblem statement: For 2×2×K contingency tables, the measure is considered to represent the degree of departure from a log-linear model of No Three-Factor Interaction (NOTFI). We are interested in considering a similar measure for general I×J×K contingency tables. Approach: The present study proposed a measure to represent the degree of departure from the NOTFI model for I×J×K contingency tables. Also … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,783 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsComparison of Probability Curves Obtained from 2 Quantitative Allergen-specific IgE Assays: FEIA and 3gAllergyTMT. M. Li, T. Chuang, S. M. Li, D. Hovanec-BurnsThe validity and benefit of probability curves in allergen-specific IgE (sIgE) testing and their applicability to more than a few allergens are still pending. One study[1] presented probability curves for 4 food allergens and proposed decision points to rule out the need for food challenges in his clinic. Since then, such cutoffs were reported by Boyano-Martinez[2] to be dependent on … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,737 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRisk Factors for Bovine Tuberculosis Transmission in Burkina Faso’s Cattle HerdsArouna Zoungrana, Pingdwende Albert Patrick Vokouma, Badjibassa Akounda et al.Bovine tuberculosis is a zoonotic disease, primarily caused by Mycobacterium bovis, that poses a serious threat to both human and animal health. Understanding the risk factors that contribute to its spread is critical for developing effective prevention and control strategies. This cross-sectional study investigated risk factors associated with bovine tuberculosis in cattle herds in Burkina Faso.
