Regression modelling in hospital epidemiology: a statistical note
Barnett and Graves [1], in their commentary on our report recently published in Critical Care [2], suggested that time-discrete methods should be used to address time-dependent risk factors and competing risks. In this letter we comment on two statements by those authors. First, Barnett and Graves claim that, 'An alternative method to the competing risks model is a multistate model.' In fact, a...
متن کاملA note on modelling cross correlations: hyperbolic secant regression
The problem of determining if a bivariate normal correlation changes with respect to time or some other covariate is considered. It is assumed that the means and standard deviations of the normal random variables can be consistently estimated from the entire data run, and do not need to be re-estimated for each covariate value. A new estimator of a bivariate normal correlation is given that has...
متن کاملReview Introduction to statistical modelling: linear regression
In many studies we wish to assess how a range of variables are associated with a particular outcome and also determine the strength of such relationships so that we can begin to understand how these factors relate to each other at a population level. Ultimately, we may also be interested in predicting the outcome from a series of predictive factors available at, say, a routine clinic visit. In ...
متن کاملA New Approach for Obtaining Settling Velocity in a Thickener Using Statistical Regression: A Case Study
In this research work, the parameters affecting the settling velocity within the thickeners were studied by introducing an equivalent shape factor. Several thickener feed samples of different densities including copper, lead and zinc, and coal were prepared. The settling tests were performed on the samples, and the corresponding settling curves were plotted. Using the linear regression analysis...
متن کاملStatistical Modelling of Speech Segment Duration by Constrained Tree Regression
This paper presents a new method for statistical modelling of prosody control in speech synthesis. The proposed method, which is referred to as Constrained Tree Regression (CTR), can make suitable representation of complex effects of control factors for prosody with a moderate amount of learning data. It is based on recursive splits of predictor variable spaces and partial imposition of constra...
