We propose a copula based statistical method of fitting joint cumulative returns between a market index and a stock from the index family to daily data. Modifying the method of inference functions for margins (IFM method), we perform two separate maximum likelihood estimations of the univariate marginal distributions, assumed to be normal inverse gamma mixtures with kurtosis parameter equal to ...

The Reflective Functioning scale (RF) is a narrative-based assessment of the capacity to coherently conceptualize one's own and others' subjective motivations, emotions, beliefs, and desires. We report the preliminary results of an effort to develop a computerized text analysis version (CRF) of the RF assessment system. A sample of 113 clinical and non-clinical Adult Attachment Interviews (AAI)...

UNLABELLED The purpose of this study was to develop a method of registering (18)F-FDG PET with MR permeability images for investigating the correlation of (18)F-FDG uptake, permeability, and cerebral blood volume (CBV) in children with pediatric brain tumors and their relationship with outcome. METHODS Twenty-four children with brain tumors in a phase II study of bevacizumab and irinotecan un...

INTRODUCTION Regional changes in brain stiffness were previously demonstrated in an experimental obstructive hydrocephalus juvenile rat model. The open cranial sutures in the juvenile rats have influenced brain compression and mechanical properties during hydrocephalus development and the extent by which closed cranial sutures in adult hydrocephalic rat models affect brain stiffness in-vivo rem...

CONTEXT A critical question in pandemic influenza planning is the role nonpharmaceutical interventions might play in delaying the temporal effects of a pandemic, reducing the overall and peak attack rate, and reducing the number of cumulative deaths. Such measures could potentially provide valuable time for pandemic-strain vaccine and antiviral medication production and distribution. Optimally,...
