Estimating health expenditure shares from household surveys.
OBJECTIVE To quantify the effects of household expenditure survey characteristics on the estimated share of a household's expenditure devoted to health. METHODS A search was conducted for all country surveys reporting data on health expenditure and total household expenditure. Data on total expenditure and health expenditure were extracted from the surveys to generate the health expenditure s...
متن کاملESTIMATING DRYING SHRINKAGE OF CONCRETE USING A MULTIVARIATE ADAPTIVE REGRESSION SPLINES APPROACH
In the present study, the multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS) technique is employed to estimate the drying shrinkage of concrete. To this purpose, a very big database (RILEM Data Bank) from different experimental studies is used. Several effective parameters such as the age of onset of shrinkage measurement, age at start of drying, the ratio of the volume of the sample on its drying...
متن کاملIntra-Household Resource Allocation: An Inferential Approach
If household income is pooled and then allocated to maximize welfare then income under the control of mothers and fathers should have the same impact on demand. With survey data on family health and nutrition in Brazil, the equality of parental income effects is rejected. Unearned income in the hands of a mother has a bigger effect on her family's health than income under the control of a fathe...
متن کاملA New Approach for Estimating Per-Transaction-Type Resource Consumption
In a middleware environment, various types of transactions are processed simultaneously. In such an environment, it is very important to know the amount of resources necessary for processing each type of transaction. Such data can be used both for resource planning and bottleneck identification. This report proposes a new approach to estimate the per-transaction-type resource consumption in a r...
متن کاملA shrinkage approach for estimating a treatment effect using intermediate biomarker data in clinical trials.
In clinical trials, a biomarker (S ) that is measured after randomization and is strongly associated with the true endpoint (T) can often provide information about T and hence the effect of a treatment (Z ) on T. A useful biomarker can be measured earlier than T and cost less than T. In this article, we consider the use of S as an auxiliary variable and examine the information recovery from usi...
