Software reliability growth models started to be developed in an era where the waterfall model was king (or queen), but they are less useful in modern approaches to software development. Thus, we have either to invent completely new ways of capturing the information that is hidden in failure data or we have to adapt the usage of the software reliability growth models to current ways of developi...

The proper use of statistical models for analyzing individual change over time is critical for the progress of developmental science. Latent curve models, hierarchical linear growth models, group-based trajectory models, and growth mixture models constitute increasingly important tools for longitudinal data analysis. To facilitate their understanding and use, this paper clarifies similarities a...

In the practice of credit-risk management, models for receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves are helpful in describing shape an ROC curve, estimating discriminatory power a scorecard, and generating without underlying data. The primary purpose this study is to review curve proposed literature, primarily biostatistics, fit them actual credit-scoring data order determine which could be us...

Background: In literature, not much emphasis has been placed on methods for analyzing repeatedly measured independent variables, even less so for the use in prediction modeling specifically. However, repeated measurements could especially be interesting for the construction of prediction models. Therefore, our objective was to evaluate different methods to model a repeatedly measured independen...

Biometric latent growth curve models were applied to data from the LTS in order to replicate and extend Wilson's (Child Dev 54:298-316, 1983) findings. Assessments of cognitive development were available from 8 measurement occasions covering the period 4-15 years for 1032 individuals. Latent growth curve models were fit to percent correct for 7 subscales: information, similarities, arithmetic, ...

The novel liquid-infused membranes have been shown to mitigate membrane biofouling. Here, the long-term stability of these tested and analyzed using bacterial growth curve models.
