Attributable Risks for Pancreatic Cancer in Northern
The proportions of pancreatic cancer cases attributable (or attributable risks) to tobacco smoking, high consumption of meat, low consumption of fruit, family history of pancreatic cancer, and previous history of pancreatitis were computed by using data from a casecontrol study conducted in Northern Italy. Between 1983 and 1992 a total of 362 incident, histologically confirmed exocrine pancreat...
متن کاملAssessment of spatial variation of risks in small populations.
Often environmental hazards are assessed by examining the spatial variation of disease-specific mortality or morbidity rates. These rates, when estimated for small local populations, can have a high degree of random variation or uncertainty associated with them. If those rate estimates are used to prioritize environmental clean-up actions or to allocate resources, then those decisions may be in...
متن کاملAssessing Sensitivity to Multiple Factors in Calculating Attributable Risks
In many calculations of attributable risk (AR), there are a number of parameters (excess risks, exposure rates, and so on) that are not known accurately, and one should take into account the variability in these parameters in determining a range of \plausible values" of the attributable number (AN) of incidences due to the exposure. This is often done through simple tabulation of extreme combin...
متن کاملsecuritization of mortality risks in life annuities
insurers have in the past few decades faced longevity risks - the risk that annuitants survive more than expected - and therefore need a new approach to manage this new risk. in this dissertation we survey methods that hedge longevity risks. these methods use securitization to manage risk, so using modern financial and insurance pricing models, especially wang transform and actuarial concepts, ...
15 صفحه اولAttributable and unattributable risks and fractions and other scenario comparisons
Scenarios can be defined as alternative versions of the same dataset, with the same variables but different observations and/or values. Applied scientists frequently want to predict how much good an intervention will do, by comparing outcomes from the same model betwen different scenarios. Alternatively, they may want to compare outcomes between different models applied to the same scenario, as...
