multivariate analysis Answer: In the revised version, we modified the abstract and replaced ‘Multivariate analysis’ with ‘Multiple logistic regression analysis’. “Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the risk factors for multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial infection. The strength of association was estimated by odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI).” Ag...

Methods This is a secondary database analysis of the Project RED dataset (N=623) identifying the sociodemographic characteristics as well as underserved patient factors associated with CAM use. We used descriptive statistics, bivariate, and multivariate logistic regression. We used multivariate logistic regression models for each outcome (any CAM use, CAM provider delivered therapies, and relax...

In the context of polytomous regression, as with any generalized linear model, robustness issues are well documented. Existing robust estimators designed to protect against misclassification, but do not outlying covariates. It is shown that this can have a much bigger impact on estimation and testing than misclassification alone. To address problem, two new introduced: model-type estimator an o...

The objective of the proposed study is to explore the performance of credit scoring using a two-stage hybrid modeling procedure with artificial neural networks and multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS). The rationale under the analyses is firstly to use MARS in building the credit scoring model, the obtained significant variables are then served as the input nodes of the neural networ...
