Selection models with monotone weight functions in meta analysis.
Publication bias, the fact that studies identified for inclusion in a meta analysis do not represent all studies on the topic of interest, is commonly recognized as a threat to the validity of a meta analysis. One way to explicitly model publication bias is via weighted probability distributions. We adopt the non-parametric approach initially introduced by Dear and Begg (1992) but impose that t...
متن کاملInverting Monotone Continuous Functions in Constructive Analysis
We prove constructively (in the style of Bishop) that every monotone continuous function with a uniform modulus of increase has a continuous inverse. The proof is formalized, and a realizing term extracted. This term can be applied to concrete continuous functions and arguments, and then normalized to a rational approximation of say a zero of a given function. It turns out that even in the logi...

15 صفحه اولQuasi–monotone Weight Functions and Their Characteristics and Applications
A weight function w(x) on (0, l) or (l,∞) , is said to be quasi-monotone if w(x)x−a0 C0w(y)y−a0 either for all x y or for all y x, for some a0 ∈ R , C0 1 . In this paper we discuss, complement and unify several results concerning quasi-monotone functions. In particular, some new results concerning the close connection to index numbers and generalized Bary-Stechkin classes are proved and applied...
متن کاملEstimation of smooth regression functions in monotone response models
We consider the estimation of smooth regression functions in a class of conditionally parametric covariate-response models. Independent and identically distributed observations are available from the distribution of (Z,X), where Z is a real–valued covariate with some unknown distribution, and the response X conditional on Z is distributed according to the density p(·, ψ(Z)), where p(·, θ) is a ...
