Model fertility schedules revisited: The log-multiplicative model approach
(Elsevier, 1991-12)
This paper reconsiders Coale and Trussell's (1974) specification of model fertility schedules by age. It formally presents model fertility schedules within the framework of categorical data analysis. Specifically, births ...
The reversal of the relation between economic growth and health progress: Sweden in the 19th and 20th centuries
(2007-10)
Health progress, as measured by the decline in mortality rates and the increase in life expectancy, is usually
conceived as related to economic growth, especially in the long run. In this investigation it is shown ...
A.P.O. rules are asymptotically non deficient for estimation with squared error loss
(Springer-Verlag, 1981-09)
The problem considered is sequential estimation of the mean θ of a one-parameter exponential family of distributions with squared error loss for estimation error and a cost c >0 for each of an i.i.d. sequence of potential ...
Mixed-Effect Hybrid Models for Longitudinal Data with Nonignorable Dropout
(Blackwell Publishing Inc, 2009-06)
Selection models and pattern-mixture models are often used to deal with nonignorable dropout in longitudinal studies. These two classes of models are based on different factorizations of the joint distribution of the outcome ...
Difference score correlations in relationship research: A conceptual primer
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 1999-12)
The practice of computing correlations between “difference” or “discrepancy” scores and an outcome variable is common in many areas of social science. Relationship researchers most commonly use difference scores to index ...
Meta-Analysis of Studies with Missing Data
(Blackwell Publishing Inc, 2009-06)
Consider a meta-analysis of studies with varying proportions of patient-level missing data, and assume that each primary study has made certain missing data adjustments so that the reported estimates of treatment effect ...
Rumination Reconsidered: A Psychometric Analysis
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 2003-06)
In an attempt to eliminate similar item content as an alternative explanation for the relation between depression and rumination, a secondary analysis was conducted using the data from S. Nolen-Hoeksema, J. Larson, and C. ...
Developing multicomponent interventions using fractional factorial designs
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2009-09-20)
Multicomponent interventions composed of behavioral, delivery, or implementation factors in addition to medications are becoming increasingly common in health sciences. A natural experimental approach to developing and ...
Variable Selection for Model-Based High-Dimensional Clustering and Its Application to Microarray Data
(Blackwell Publishing Inc, 2008-06)
Variable selection in high-dimensional clustering analysis is an important yet challenging problem. In this article, we propose two methods that simultaneously separate data points into similar clusters and select informative ...
