In health research, socioeconomic position (SEP) is used to measure the context of social inequality. Studies on low birth weight (LBW) that attempt to capture social inequality have generally used single measures of SEP or have employed conventional SEP measures, such as income and education, without regard to how other indicators could influence findings. This study investigates the associati...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between low functional health literacy (ability to read and understand basic health related information) and mortality in older adults. DESIGN Population based longitudinal cohort study based on a stratified random sample of households. SETTING England. PARTICIPANTS 7857 adults aged 52 or more who participated in the second wave (2004-5) of the Eng...

In this paper, for the Stratified Median Ranked Set Sampling (SMRSS), proposed by Ibrahim et al. (2010), we examine the proportional and optimum sample allocations that are two well-known methods for sample allocation in stratified sampling. We show that the variances of the mean estimators of a symmetric population in SMRSS using optimum and proportional allocations to strata are smaller than ...

In this article, we propose several quantization based stratified sampling methods to reduce the variance of a Monte-Carlo simulation. Theoretical aspects of stratification lead to a strong link between the problem of optimal Lquantization of a random variable and the variance reduction that can be achieved. We first emphasize on the consistency of quantization for designing strata in stratifie...

background: one of the main challenges of healthcare systems of developing countries is health inequality. health inequality means inequality in individuals’ ability and proper functioning, resulting in inequality in social status and living conditions, which thwarts social interventions implemented by the government. objectives: this study aimed to determine and prioritize the social determina...

Random sampling techniques have been developed for combinatorial optimization problems. In this note, we report an application of one of these techniques for training support vector machines (more precisely, primal-form maximal-margin classifiers) that solve two-group classification problems by using hyperplane classifiers. Through this research, we are aiming (I) to design efficient and theore...
