On the error of incidence estimation from prevalence data
Recently, we have shown how to estimate the incidence of an irreversible disease by the age-specific prevalence in case the mortality of the diseased and the healthy population are known, (Brinks et al., 2013). The age-specific prevalence can, for instance, be obtained from cross-sectional studies. In (Brinks et al., 2013) one cross-section was used to estimate the incidence of renal failure. T...
متن کاملRate matrix estimation from site frequency data.
A procedure is described for estimating evolutionary rate matrices from observed site frequency data. The procedure assumes (1) that the data are obtained from a constant size population evolving according to a stationary Wright-Fisher or decoupled Moran model; (2) that the data consist of a multiple alignment of a moderate number of sequenced genomes drawn randomly from the population; and (3)...
متن کاملEstimating HIV Prevalence and Incidence in Africa From Mortality Data
An estimated 33 million people are infected with the HIV virus, 67% of them in Sub-Saharan Africa. Despite this, knowledge about HIV prevalence in Africa is limited and imperfect. Although population-based testing in recent years has provided reliable information about current prevalence in the general population, we have little reliable data on prevalence in early years of the epidemic. This p...
متن کاملchannel estimation for mimo-ofdm systems
تخمین دقیق مشخصات کانال در سیستم های مخابراتی یک امر مهم محسوب می گردد. این امر به ویژه در کانال های بیسیم با خاصیت فرکانس گزینی و زمان گزینی شدید، چالش بزرگی است. مقالات متعدد پر از روش های مبتکرانه ای برای طراحی و آنالیز الگوریتم های تخمین کانال است که بیشتر آنها از روش های خاصی استفاده می کنند که یا دارای عملکرد خوب با پیچیدگی محاسباتی بالا هستند و یا با عملکرد نه چندان خوب پیچیدگی پایینی...
Data-Rate Estimation for Autonomous Receiver Operation
In this article, we present a series of algorithms for estimating the data rate of a signal whose admissible data rates are integer base, integer powered multiples of a known basic data rate. These algorithms can be applied to the Electra radio currently used in the Deep Space Network (DSN), which employs data rates having the above relationship. The estimation is carried out in an autonomous s...
