Spatial linear models have been applied in numerous fields such as agriculture, geoscience and environmental sciences, among many others. Spatial dependence structure modelling, using a geostatistical approach, is an ...

Aims: To present a new approach for estimating the "true prevalence" of malaria and apply it to datasets from Peru, Vietnam, and Cambodia. Methods: Bayesian models were developed for estimating both the malaria prevalence ...

Numerous diagnostic tests report their results quantitatively, using continuous scales. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis provides a statistical method for the assessment of the diagnostic accuracy of ...

Statistical discrimination is usually flagged by economists as a potential source of treatment disparities. The literature, however, lacks reduced-form tests that provide information about the relative importance of ...

Nasoendoscopy is an important tool for assessing velopharyngeal function. The purpose of this study was to analyze velar and pharyngeal wall movement and velopharyngeal gap during nasoendoscopic evaluation of the velopharynx ...
