چکیده
Using data from the Northern Ireland Household Panel survey we demonstrate that attendance at outpatients is determined solely by respondent health. This is consistent with the GP acting as a gatekeeper to other services. Attendance thus provides valuable information on illness severity. Splitting the sample into two statistically distinct groups, we estimate ordered probit regressions of GP utilisation with and without sample selection. The results indicate that ignoring outpatient attendance may result in misspecification. Further, if health is more fully measured, age becomes redundant as a determinant of utilisation and service supply, particularly accident and emergency use, is seen as a significant determinant in explaining GP visits.

متن کاملOrthogonality and probability: beyond nearest neighbor transitions
In this article, we will explore why Karlin-McGregor method of using orthogonal polynomials in the study of Markov processes was so successful for one dimensional nearest neighbor processes, but failed beyond nearest neighbor transitions. We will proceed by suggesting and testing possible fixtures.
متن کاملFinding Matchings in the Streaming Model
This report presents algorithms for finding large matchings in the streaming model. In this model, applicable when dealing with massive graphs, edges are streamed-in in some arbitrary order rather than residing in randomly accessible memory. For ε > 0, we achieve a 1/(1+ε) approximation for maximum cardinality matching and a 1/(2+ε) approximation to maximum weighted matching. Both algorithms us...
