abstract

the  main  assumptions  in  liner  mixed  model  are normality  and  independency  of  random  effect component.   unfortunately,   these   two  assumptions   might   be  unrealistic   in  some   situations. therefore, in this paper, we will discuss about the analysis of bayesian analysis of non-normal and non-independent mixed model using skew-normal/independent distributions, and finally, this methodology is illustrated through an application  to a triglyceride data from isfahan’s mobarakeh steel company cohort study.

Comparison of Estimates Using Record Statistics from Lomax Model: Bayesian and Non Bayesian Approaches

This paper address the problem of Bayesian estimation of the parameters, reliability and hazard function in the context of record statistics values from the two-parameter Lomax distribution. The ML and the Bayes estimates based on records are derived for the two unknown parameters and the survival time parameters, reliability and hazard functions. The Bayes estimates are obtained based on conju...

Bayesian Analysis of Censored Spatial Data Based on a Non-Gaussian Model

Abstract: In this paper, we suggest using a skew Gaussian-log Gaussian model for the analysis of spatial censored data from a Bayesian point of view. This approach furnishes an extension of the skew log Gaussian model to accommodate to both skewness and heavy tails and also censored data. All of the characteristics mentioned are three pervasive features of spatial data. We utilize data augme...

Non Uniform Rational B Spline (NURBS) Based Non-Linear Analysis of Straight Beams with Mixed Formulations

Displacement finite element models of various beam theories have been developed traditionally using conventional finite element basis functions (i.e., cubic Hermite, equi-spaced Lagrange interpolation functions, or spectral/hp Legendre functions). Various finite element models of beams differ from each other in the choice of the interpolation functions used for the transverse deflection w, tota...

Robust Linear Mixed Models with Skew–Normal Independent Distributions from a Bayesian Perspective

Linear mixed models were developed to handle clustered data and have been a topic of increasing interest in statistics for the past fifty years. Generally, the normality (or symmetry) of the random effects is a common assumption in linear mixed models but it may, sometimes, be unrealistic, obscuring important features of among-subjects variation. In this article, we utilize skew-normal/independ...

Bayesian inference in nonlinear mixed-effects models using normal independent distributions

Nonlinear mixed-effects (NLME) models are popular in many longitudinal studies, including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) viral dynamics, pharmacokinetic analyses, and studies of growth and decay. Generally, the normality of the random effects is a common assumption in NLME models but it may, sometimes, be unrealistic, obscuring important features of among-subjects variation. In this article...
