Estimating incident population distribution from prevalent data.
A prevalent sample consists of individuals who have experienced disease incidence but not failure event at the sampling time. We discuss methods for estimating the distribution function of a random vector defined at baseline for an incident disease population when data are collected by prevalent sampling. Prevalent sampling design is often more focused and economical than incident study design ...
متن کاملEstimating recombination rates from population genetic data.
We introduce a new method for estimating recombination rates from population genetic data. The method uses a computationally intensive statistical procedure (importance sampling) to calculate the likelihood under a coalescent-based model. Detailed comparisons of the new algorithm with two existing methods (the importance sampling method of Griffiths and Marjoram and the MCMC method of Kuhner an...
متن کاملConsiderable differences exist between prevalent and incident myocardial infarction cohorts derived from the same population.
OBJECTIVE Both prevalent and incident cohorts have been used in epidemiological and prognostic studies of ischemic heart disease (IHD). This study considers the differences between the cohort types. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING Using linked primary care, secondary care, and death certification data, prevalent and incident cohorts of people with a first acute myocardial infarction (AMI) were forme...
متن کاملmodeling loss data by phase-type distribution
بیمه گران همیشه بابت خسارات بیمه نامه های تحت پوشش خود نگران بوده و روش هایی را جستجو می کنند که بتوانند داده های خسارات گذشته را با هدف اتخاذ یک تصمیم بهینه مدل بندی نمایند. در این پژوهش توزیع های فیزتایپ در مدل بندی داده های خسارات معرفی شده که شامل استنباط آماری مربوطه و استفاده از الگوریتم em در برآورد پارامترهای توزیع است. در پایان امکان استفاده از این توزیع در مدل بندی داده های گروه بندی ...
Estimating Distribution Functions from Survey Data Using Nonparametric Regression
Survey sampling often supplies information about a study variable only for sampled elements. However, auxiliary information is often available for the entire population. The relationship of the auxiliary information with the study variable across the sample allows inferences about the nonsampled portion of the population. Thus, auxiliary information can be used to improve upon survey estimation...
