Nonresponse extinction and induction

Nonresponse Rates and Nonresponse Bias In Household Surveys

Many surveys of the U.S. household population are experiencing higher refusal rates. Nonresponse can, but need not, induce nonresponse bias in survey estimates. Recent empirical findings illustrate cases when the linkage between nonresponse rates and nonresponse biases is absent. Despite this, professional standards continue to urge high response rates. Statistical expressions of nonresponse bi...

Treatment goals: response and nonresponse

Psychiatric symptomatology is often subjective, but it can be partly made more objective for the purposes of evaluation. Esquirol was the first modern psychiatrist to stress the need for a scientific approach to treatment evaluation. The kinetics of treatment is complex because different components of the clinical picture improve at a different pace. Assessment of treatment requires prior defin...

Simultaneous Calibration and Nonresponse Adjustment

Single and joint inclusion probabilities are generally available and known for complex survey designs up to the point where survey weights are modified due to nonresponse and population controls. Best practice by sophisticated survey practitioners generally includes weight modifications, first by calibration, ratio adjustment or raking to correct for nonresponse, next by further steps to impose...

Designing Surveys Acknowledging Nonresponse

The exclusive induction of extinction is gated by BDNF.

We have previously reported that the reconsolidation and extinction of hippocampal-dependent contextual fear memory can be initiated by a single context conditioned stimulus (CS) presentation of either short or long duration, and that both processes require protein synthesis in this brain region. Furthermore, reconsolidation depends on Zif268 activity in this region. Here we show that by infusi...
