Effect of trampling and digging from shell shing on Zostera noltei (Zosteraceae) intertidal seagrass beds
(Scientia Marina, 2017-03)
Seagrass beds are among the most valuable ecosystems in the world but they are also among the ones most affected by human activities, and they have decreased significantly in recent decades. In many areas, such as in the ...
Predicting Pregnancy Outcomes Using Longitudinal Information: A Penalized Splines Mixed–Effects Model Approach
(Statistics in Medicine, 2017-02-09)
We propose a semiparametric mixed–effects model (SNMM) using penalized splines to clas- sify longitudinal data and improve the prediction of a binary outcome. The work is motivated by a study in which different hormone ...
Comparison of beta-binomial regression model approaches to analyze health related quality of life data
(Statistical Methods in Medical Research, 2017-01-05)
Health related quality of life (HRQoL) has become an increasingly important indicator of health status in clinical trials and epidemiological research. Moreover, the study of the relationship of HRQoL with patients' and ...
Time-varying coefficient estimation in SURE models. Application to portfolio management.
(2017-01-01)
This paper provides a detailed analysis of the asymptotic properties of a kernel estimator for a Seemingly Unrelated Regression Equations model with time-varying coefficients (tv-SURE) under very general conditions. ...
Bootstrap-based procedures for inference in nonparametric receiver-operating characteristic curve regression analysis
(Statistical Methods in Medical Research, 2017)
Prior to using a diagnostic test in a routine clinical setting, the rigorous evaluation of its diagnostic accuracy is essential.
The receiver-operating characteristic curve is the measure of accuracy most widely used for ...
