Overcoming cut-off restrictions in multimorbidity prevalence estimates
BACKGROUND Presently, there is no consensus on how to define multimorbidity. In this paper we investigate the connection between prevalence estimates for two or more and three or more chronic conditions to improve comparability of multimorbidity studies with different cut-offs. METHODS In a systematic review of the literature published between January, 1990 and December, 2011, we found 52 sui...
متن کاملOvercoming Communication Restrictions in Collectives
Many large distributed system are characterized by having a large number of components (eg., agents, neurons) whose actions and interactions determine a %orld utility” which rates the performance of the overall system. Such “collectives” are often subject to communication restrictions, making it difiicult for components which tzy to optimize their own “private” utilities, to take actions that a...
متن کاملPrevalence estimates of multimorbidity: a comparative study of two sources
BACKGROUND Published prevalence studies on multimorbidity present diverse data collection methods, sources of data, targeted age groups, diagnoses considered and study populations, making the comparability of prevalence estimates questionable. The objective of this study was to compare prevalence estimates of multimorbidity derived from two sources and to examine the impact of the number of dia...
متن کاملLiu Estimates and Influence Analysis in Regression Models with Stochastic Linear Restrictions and AR (1) Errors
In the linear regression models with AR (1) error structure when collinearity exists, stochastic linear restrictions or modifications of biased estimators (including Liu estimators) can be used to reduce the estimated variance of the regression coefficients estimates. In this paper, the combination of the biased Liu estimator and stochastic linear restrictions estimator is considered to overcom...
