For cost-effectiveness and efficiency, many large-scale general-purpose cohort studies are being assembled within large health-care providers who use electronic health records. Two key features of such data are that incident disease is interval-censored between irregular visits and there can be pre-existing (prevalent) disease. Because prevalent disease is not always immediately diagnosed, some...

This study aims to determine the model of Acute Myocardial Infarction using Weibull Regression and Cox Proportional Hazard methods factors that significantly influence length time for recovery acute myocardial infarction patients. The results this indicate patients are age, onset, number secondary diagnoses duration pain. Based on AIC value, regression is best because value smaller, namely 292....

background: breast cancer is the most common cancer after lung cancer and the second cause of death. in this study we compared weibull and lognormal cure models with cox regression on the survival of breast cancer. study design: a cohort study. methods: the current study retrospective cohort study was conducted on 140 patients referred to ali ibn abitaleb hospital, rafsanjan southeastern iran f...

To understand how organisms adapt, researchers must link performance and microhabitat. However, measuring performance, especially maximum performance, can sometimes be difficult. Here, we describe an improvement over previous techniques that only consider the largest observed values as maxima. Instead, we model expected performance observations via the Weibull distribution, a statistical approa...

The purpose of this study was to investigate and analyse the fracture toughness of yttria stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (Y-TZP) dental ceramics by means of the Vickers indentation technique. Fracture toughness was analysed under the following loads: 29.42 N, 49.03 N, 196.13 N, and 294.20 N. Cracks that had developed from the vertices of a Vickers indentation were measured and used ...
