The following example illustrates how you can construct a bootstrap confidence interval by using the multiple responses feature in PROC TPSPLINE. Numerous epidemiological observations have indicated ...

Strong Lagrangian theory is used to illuminate the properties of the profile log likelihood. General conditions are given which lead to a simplification of the computations required to plot this ...

The linkage disequilibrium method is currently the most widely used single sample estimator of genetic effective population size. The commonly used software packages come with two options, referred to ...

In this program, the quasi-Newton technique is used to maximize the likelihood function. You can replace the quasi-Newton routine by other optimization routines, such as the NLPNRR subroutine, which ...

The number needed to treat, that is, the average number of patients a clinician needs to treat with a particular therapy to prevent one bad outcome,1 is a translation into clinical terms of the ...

The topic of variable importance in linear regression is reviewed, and a measure first justified theoretically by Pratt (1987) is examined in detail. Asymptotic variance estimates are used to ...

With statistical sampling, counsel can simplify damage analyses, avoid potential issues with incomplete or missing data, and minimize the risk ...
