Synthesis analysis of regression models with a continuous outcome.

چکیده
To estimate the multivariate regression model from multiple individual studies, it would be challenging to obtain results if the input from individual studies only provide univariate or incomplete multivariate regression information. Samsa et al. (J. Biomed. Biotechnol. 2005; 2:113-123) proposed a simple method to combine coefficients from univariate linear regression models into a multivariate linear regression model, a method known as synthesis analysis. However, the validity of this method relies on the normality assumption of the data, and it does not provide variance estimates. In this paper we propose a new synthesis method that improves on the existing synthesis method by eliminating the normality assumption, reducing bias, and allowing for the variance estimation of the estimated parameters.

Comparison of logistic regression and neural network models in predicting the outcome of biopsy in breast cancer from MRI findings
Background: We designed an algorithmic model based on the logistic regression analysis and a non-algorithmic model based on the Artificial Neural Network (ANN). Materials and methods: The ability of these models was compared together in clinical application to differentiate malignant from benign breast tumors in a study group of 161 patients' records. Each patient’s record consisted of 6 subjec...
متن کاملSemi-parametric Quantile Regression for Analysing Continuous Longitudinal Responses
Recently, quantile regression (QR) models are often applied for longitudinal data analysis. When the distribution of responses seems to be skew and asymmetric due to outliers and heavy-tails, QR models may work suitably. In this paper, a semi-parametric quantile regression model is developed for analysing continuous longitudinal responses. The error term's distribution is assumed to be Asymmetr...
متن کاملThe Analysis of Bayesian Probit Regression of Binary and Polychotomous Response Data
The goal of this study is to introduce a statistical method regarding the analysis of specific latent data for regression analysis of the discrete data and to build a relation between a probit regression model (related to the discrete response) and normal linear regression model (related to the latent data of continuous response). This method provides precise inferences on binary and multinomia...
متن کاملتحلیل درستنمایی ماکزیمم مدل رگرسیون لجستیک در حالتی که داده های متغیرهای پیشگو کامل نیستند ولی متغیرهای کمکی وجود دارند
Background and Objectives: Missing data exist in many studies, e.g. in regression models, and they decrease the model's efficacy. Many methods have been suggested for handling incomplete data: they have generally focused on missing outcome values. But covariate values can also be missing.Materials and Methods: In this paper we study the missing imputation by the EM algorithm and auxiliary varia...
متن کاملA Comparative Review of Selection Models in Longitudinal Continuous Response Data with Dropout
Missing values occur in studies of various disciplines such as social sciences, medicine, and economics. The missing mechanism in these studies should be investigated more carefully. In this article, some models, proposed in the literature on longitudinal data with dropout are reviewed and compared. In an applied example it is shown that the selection model of Hausman and Wise (1979, Econometri...
