Analysis of Birth Spacing Using Frailty Models
Background and objectives: Birth spacing is an important variable for identification of fertility acceleration, total fertility rate, and maternal and fetal health. Therefore, special attention has been paid to this issue by researchers in the fields of medical sciences, health, and population. In addition, proper analysis of this concept is of foremost importance. Application of classical anal...
متن کاملBayesian model selection for logistic regression models with random intercept
Data, collected to model risk of an interesting event, often have a multilevel structure as patients are clustered within larger units, e.g. clinical centers. Risk of the event is usually modeled using a logistic regression model, with a random intercept to control for heterogeneity among clusters. Model specification requires to decide which regressors have a non-negligible effect, and hence, ...
متن کاملRandom Intercept and Random Slope 2-Level Multilevel Models
Random intercept model and random intercept & random slope model carrying two-levels of hierarchy in the population are presented and compared with the traditional regression approach. The impact of students’ satisfaction on their grade point average (GPA) was explored with and without controlling teachers influence. The variation at level-1 can be controlled by introducing the higher levels of...
متن کاملGoodness-of-fit tests for the frailty distribution in proportional hazards models with shared frailty.
Frailty models account for the clustering present in event time data. A proportional hazards model with shared frailties expresses the hazard for each subject. Often a one-parameter gamma distribution is assumed for the frailties. In this paper, we construct formal goodness-of-fit tests to test for gamma frailties. We construct a new class of frailty models that extend the gamma frailty model b...
متن کاملA Method to Dynamic Stochastic Multicriteria Decision Making with Log-Normally Distributed Random Variables
We investigate the dynamic stochastic multicriteria decision making (SMCDM) problems, in which the criterion values take the form of log-normally distributed random variables, and the argument information is collected from different periods. We propose two new geometric aggregation operators, such as the log-normal distribution weighted geometric (LNDWG) operator and the dynamic log-normal dist...
