abstract

background: in recent years, the study of birth intervals has been a main determinant of the levels of fertility in the populations, as it is associated with rates of fertility and population growth. objective: the purpose of this study was to firstly apply survival analysis for modeling of first birth interval and secondly to explore its determinants. materials and methods: in a cross sectional study, the fertility history of 858 women was collected in rural areas of shiraz (southern iran) in 2008. we used the survival analysis such as cox regression and alternative parametric models to evaluate the prognostic factors of first birth interval. results: among the explanatory variables of interest, age at marriage, level of women's education, and menstrual status had highly significant effects on the duration of birth interval after marriage (p<0.01). conclusion: it is concluded that the suitable parametric models would be a useful tool for fitting to first birth interval, the fact that has been less paid attention to in researches

Comparison of Survival Forests in Analyzing First Birth Interval

Background and objectives: Application of statistical machine learning methods such as ensemble based approaches in survival analysis has been received considerable interest over the past decades in time-to-event data sets. One of these practical methods is survival forests which have been developed in a variety of contexts due to their high precision, non-parametric and non-linear nature. This...

Determining the Prognostic Factors of Survival in Patients with Head and Neck Cancer Using Parametric Models and Cox Bayesian Model, from 2007 to 2013

Introduction: Head and neck cancer is one of the most important cancers with low survival. This study was designed to evaluate the one-year survival of patients with head and neck cancer and related demographic factors. Methods: The present study was a cross-sectional study that reviewed the records of the patients with head and neck cancer (193 patients) in 2007-2013. In this study, Kaplan-Me...

Estimating parametric fertility models with open birth interval data.

This paper demonstrates the approach of extending "date of last birth" (DLB) techniques to parametric models. Estimators for Coale-Trussell M and m parameters are constructed from open interval lengths. A new procedure was applied to Brazilian census data, producing maps and spatial statistics for "births last year" (BLY) and DLB m estimates in 723 municipalities in Minas Gerais. DLB estimat...
