However, it remains unclear what impact comorbidity has on functional outcome after rehabilitation. AIM To investigate the associations between comorbidity indexes and functional outcome after inpatient stroke or hip fracture reh...

in the recent years, the coherence index is used in many electroencephalographic studies for investigation of brain connectivity in children with adhd disorder. it is suggested that the coherence is a useful index in discrimination of adhd subjects from normal subjects. however, a few studies are accomplished in subtypes of adhd to identify of differences in functional connectivity between adhd...

We study the non-parametric estimation of partially linear generalized single-index functional models, where systematic component model has a flexible semi-parametric form with general link function. suggest an efficient and practical approach to estimate (I) function, (II) coefficients as well (III) model. The procedure is developed by applying quasi-likelihood, polynomial splines kernel smoot...
