The Hungarian mortality rates were analyzed by autoregressive integrated moving average models and seasonal time series models examined the data of acute childhood lymphoid leukaemia. The mortality data may be analyzed by time series methods such as autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) modelling. This method is demonstrated by two examples: analysis of the mortality rates of cerebro...

Adult height is determined by genetic potential and by net nutrition, the balance between food intake and the demands on it, including the demands of disease, most importantly during early childhood. Historians have made effective use of recorded heights to indicate living standards, in both health and income, for periods where there are few other data. Understanding the determinants of height ...

In this paper we demonstrate applying time series models on medical research. The Hungarian mortality rates were analysed by autoregressive integrated moving average models and seasonal time series models examined the data of acute childhood lymphoid leukaemia. The mortality data may be analysed by time series methods such as autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) modelling. This meth...
