چکیده

where u ∼ N(0, G) and 2 ∼ N(0, R) with u and 2 independent. This model can be interpreted as Y |β, u ∼ N(Xβ+Zu,R), u ∼ N(0, G), yielding (on integrating out u) the marginal model Y |β ∼ N(Xβ,ZGZ + R). Let V = ZGZ + R. Then the maximum penalized likelihood estimates of β and u given G and R are given by θ̂ = [ β̂ û ] = (CTR−1C + B)−1CTR−1y (A.2) where C = [X Z] and B is the block diagonal matrix with blocks 0 and G−1. The variance of the estimators are given by Var[θ̂] = (CTR−1C + B)−1. Fitted values are obtained routinely as

Quantification of the Dose-Response Relationship for a Continuous Treatment in the Presence of Confounding or Informative Non-Compliance

In a longitudinal study of dose-response, the presence of confounding or non-compliance compromises the estimation of the true effect of a treatment. Flexibility in modelling confounding is essential in order to capture the treatment effect when the causal model is not fully understood, so that observed treatment effect is not due to the imposition of a rigid model for the relationship between ...

Determination of dose-response relationship in cultured human lymphocytes for biological dosimetry

Background: Lymphocyte-dicentric assay is the most generally accepted method for biological dosimetry of overexposed individuals. In this study, the frequency of unstable chromosome aberration in blood lymphocytes was used to estimate radiation dose received by individuals. Evaluation of dose using a calibration curve produced elsewhere may have a significant uncertainty therefore, experiments ...

Non-invasive quantification of liver fat content by different Gradient Echo MRI sequences in patients with Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)

Introduction: Non-invasive quantification of liver fat by Gradient echo (GRE) Technique is an interesting issue in quantitative MRI. Despite the numerous advantages of this technique, fat measurement maybe biased by confounding and effects. The aim of this study was to evaluate the GRE pulse sequences with different   and  weighting for liver fat quantification in patients with...

A free user friendly program for evaluation of radiotherapy plans based on different dose response models

Introduction: Radiotherapy (RT) plan evaluation using dose response models has become a feasible approach in routine clinical practice. Although there are several tools for this task, they suffer from limitations including number of different dose response models and parameters. In the present study, we aimed to develop a free program for RT plan evaluation based on a variety ...

Bayesian Sample size Determination for Longitudinal Studies with Continuous Response using Marginal Models

Introduction Longitudinal study designs are common in a lot of scientific researches, especially in medical, social and economic sciences. The reason is that longitudinal studies allow researchers to measure changes of each individual over time and often have higher statistical power than cross-sectional studies. Choosing an appropriate sample size is a crucial step in a successful study. A st...
