Regression analysis under incomplete linkage

Regression analysis under incomplete linkage

Regression analysis of incomplete medical cost data.

The accumulation of medical cost over time for each subject is an increasing stochastic process defined up to the instant of death. The stochastic structure of this process is complex. In most applications, the process can only be observed at a limited number of time points. Furthermore, the process is subject to right censoring so that it is unobservable after the censoring time. These special...

Regression Analysis under Inverse Gaussian Model: Repeated Observation Case

 Traditional regression analyses assume normality of observations and independence of mean and variance. However, there are many examples in science and Technology where the observations come from a skewed distribution and moreover there is a functional dependence between variance and mean. In this article, we propose a method for regression analysis under Inverse Gaussian model when th...

Powerful regression-based quantitative-trait linkage analysis of general pedigrees.

We present a new method of quantitative-trait linkage analysis that combines the simplicity and robustness of regression-based methods and the generality and greater power of variance-components models. The new method is based on a regression of estimated identity-by-descent (IBD) sharing between relative pairs on the squared sums and squared differences of trait values of the relative pairs. T...

Functional Mechanism: Regression Analysis under Differential Privacy

ε-differential privacy is the state-of-the-art model for releasing sensitive information while protecting privacy. Numerous methods have been proposed to enforce ε-differential privacy in various analytical tasks, e.g., regression analysis. Existing solutions for regression analysis, however, are either limited to non-standard types of regression or unable to produce accurate regression results...
