The purposes of this study were 1) to investigate the heritability, reliability, and selection response for survival traits following a Weibull frailty proportional hazard model; and 2) to examine the relationship between genetic parameters from a Weibull model, a discrete proportional hazard model, and a binary data analysis using a linear model. Both analytical methods and Monte Carlo simulat...

Biological processes are full of variations and so are responses to therapy as measured in clinical research. Estimators of clinical efficacy are, therefore, usually reported with a measure of uncertainty, otherwise called dispersion. This study aimed to review both the flaws of data reports without measure of dispersion and those with over-dispersion.EXAMPLES OF ESTIMATORS COMMONLY REPORTED WI...

For data warehouse and OLAP (On-Line Analytical Processing) systems various preparation tasks are necessary to qualify and improve the effectiveness of their usage. In order to put into operation such a task the creation of statistical sound sample data is indispensable. Applying statistical models for the generation of sample data promises a high-quality prospect which allows the production of...
