The use of simulation models for the surveillance, justification and understanding of tobacco control policies.
Debates over national tobacco legislation and the use of state settlement funds demonstrate a need for information on the effects of tobacco control policies. Computer simulation models that are based on empirical evidence and that account for the variety of influences on tobacco use can be useful tools for informing policy makers. They can identify the effects of different policies, convey the...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Economic Impact of California's Tobacco Control Program: A Dynamic Model Approach--Appendix 2: A dynamic, normally distributed survival analysis of the relationship between aging, smoking history, and the mortality of men
In this appendix, I derive a survival model that makes use of the expressions for the index of tobacco-exposure resulting from an individual's smoking historyderived in Appendix 1. Based on this survival model, expressions for the probability of living and dying are derived for never-smokers, current smokers, and formersmokers. The likelihood function for a sample of individuals based on these ...

متن کاملPost-Selection and Post-Regularization Inference in Linear Models with Very Many Controls and Instruments
In this note, we offer an approach to estimating structural parameters in the presence of many instruments and controls based on methods for estimating sparse high-dimensional models. We use these high-dimensional methods to select both which instruments and which control variables to use. The approach we take extends Belloni et al. (2012), which covers selection of instruments for IV models wi...
متن کاملDoes the Appendix Location Change During Pregnancy?
Background: Early diagnosis of appendicitis is important during pregnancy. Unlike omentom, cecum and appendix are not likely to be displaced by the growing uterus, so the concept of position change of the appendix during pregnancy is questionable. Objective: To determine the anatomical location of appendix during pregnancy. Methods: In a prospective study from October 1995 to March 1999, 291 w...
