- e STAGGERING ENTRY , RANDOM WITHDRAWAL AND PROGRESS IVE CENSORING SCHEMES
نویسنده
چکیده
SUMMARY. In a life testing experiment (or a clinical trial), for staggering entry of units (including some batch arrival models), some nonparametric testing procedures (based on a general class of rank statistics and weighted empirical processes) under progressive censoring schemes are considered, for some multiple regression model. Adjustments needed to incorporate dropouts are also discussed. The relevance of some weak convergence results provides the desired large sample theory of the porposed procedure, and some simulation studies of the critical values of the allied test statistics are made.

متن کاملThe correlation between early alcohol withdrawal severity and oxidative stress in patients with alcohol dependence.
Oxidative stress is enhanced in alcoholic patients. This clinical study aimed to explore the correlation between alcohol withdrawal severity and two oxidative stress markers, malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD). Seventy-six inpatients fulfilled the DSM-IV-TR criteria for alcohol dependence and 19 healthy controls were enrolled. Serum MDA level and SOD activity were measured wit...
متن کاملSeizure recurrence and risk factors after withdrawal of chronic antiepileptic therapy in children
The aim of this study was to identify the risk factors for seizure recurrence after withdrawal of chronic antiepileptic therapy in 226 children: 136 with partial epilepsies and 90 with generalized epilepsies. The influence on prognosis of the different variables was assessed retrospectively with univariate and multivariate analysis. With a mean observation period of 5.85+/-3.87 years, seizure r...
