INTRODUCTION Primary care has a central role in integrating care within a health system. However, conceptual ambiguity regarding integrated care hampers a systematic understanding. This paper proposes a conceptual framework that combines the concepts of primary care and integrated care, in order to understand the complexity of integrated care. METHODS The search method involved a combination ...

Luc Demortier The Rockefeller University, New York, NY 10021, U.S.A. Abstract The standard Bayesian treatment of systematic uncertainties is to integrate out the corresponding nuisance parameters from the joint posterior density for all parameters. We apply this formalism to measurements in which the data cannot distinguish between nuisance parameters and parameters of interest, and show that i...

Abstract. MAP estimators and HPD credible sets are often criticized in the literature because of paradoxical behaviour due to a lack of invariance under reparametrization. In this paper, we propose a new version of MAP estimators and HPD credible sets that avoid this undesirable feature. Moreover, in the special case of non-informative prior, the new MAP estimators coincide with the invariant f...
