Modelling fertility in rural South Africa with combined nonlinear parametric and semi-parametric methods
Background Central to the study of populations, and therefore to the analysis of the development of countries undergoing major transitions, is the calculation of fertility patterns and their dependence on different variables such as age, education, and socio-economic status. Most epidemiological research on these matters rely on the often unjustified assumption of (generalised) linearity, or al...
متن کاملSurvival analysis of breast cancer patients with different chronic diseases through parametric and semi-parametric approaches
Introduction: There is a lack of information on the extent of dependency between chronic diseases and the survival rate of breast cancer. Until date, none of the models proposed has determined the impact of chronic diseases on breast cancer survival. This study, therefore, aimed to investigate the impacts of chronic diseases such as diabetes, blood pressure, and endocrine di...

متن کاملTwo new three and four parametric with memory methods for solving nonlinear equations
In this study, based on the optimal free derivative without memory methods proposed by Cordero et al. [A. Cordero, J.L. Hueso, E. Martinez, J.R. Torregrosa, Generating optimal derivative free iterative methods for nonlinear equations by using polynomial interpolation, Mathematical and Computer Modeling. 57 (2013) 1950-1956], we develop two new iterative with memory methods for solving a nonline...
متن کاملSmoothing Spline Semi-parametric Nonlinear Regression Models
We consider the problem of modeling the mean function in regression. Often there is enough knowledge to model some components of the mean function parametrically. But for other vague and/or nuisance components, it is often desirable to leave them unspecified and to be modeled nonparametrically. In this article, we propose a general class of smoothing spline semi-parametric nonlinear regression ...
