Estimating regional centile curves from mixed data sources and countries.
Regional or national growth distributions can provide vital information on the health status of populations. In most resource poor countries, however, the required anthropometric data from purpose-designed growth surveys are not readily available. We propose a practical method for estimating regional (multi-country) age-conditional weight distributions based on existing survey data from differe...
متن کاملDirectly estimating epidemic curves from genomic data
Modern phylodynamic methods interpret an inferred phylogenetic tree as a partial transmission chain providing information about the dynamic process of transmission and removal (where removal may be due to recovery, death or behaviour change). Birth-death and coalescent processes have been introduced to model the stochastic dynamics of epidemic spread under common epidemiological models such as ...
متن کاملEstimating reach curves from one data point
Reach curves arise in advertising and media analysis as they relate the number of content impressions to the number of people who have seen it. This is especially important for measuring the effectiveness of an ad on TV or websites (Nielsen, 2009; PricewaterhouseCoopers, 2010). For a mathematical and datadriven analysis, it would be very useful to know the entire reach curve; advertisers, howev...
متن کاملEstimating regional wheat yield from the shape of decreasing curves of green area index temporal profiles retrieved from MODIS data
Earth observation data, owing to their synoptic, timely and repetitive coverage, have been recognized as a valuable tool for crop monitoring at different levels. At the field level, the close correlation between green leaf area (GLA) during maturation and grain yield in wheat revealed that the onset and rate of senescence appeared to be important factors for determining wheat grain yield. Our s...
متن کاملEstimating cellular pathways from an ensemble of heterogeneous data sources
Building better models of cellular pathways is one of the major challenges of systems biology and functional genomics. There is a need for methods to build on established expert knowledge and reconcile it with results of high-throughput studies. Moreover, the available data sources are heterogeneous and need to be combined in a way specific for the part of the pathway in which they are most inf...
