We analyse data from a study involving 173 pregnant women. The data are observed values of the beta human chorionic gonadotropin hormone measured during the first 80 days of gestational age, including from one up to six ...

In this thesis, we extend some flexible cure rate models, such as the geometric, negative binomial and power series cure rate models, to allow for spatial correlations by including spatial frailties for the interval ...

We consider inference for longitudinal data based on mixed-effects models with a non-parametric Bayesian prior on the treatment effect. The proposed non-parametric Bayesian prior is a random partition model with a regression ...

Abstract: In this master�s thesis discrimination of non-stationary signals using time varying parametric modeling and time frequency analysis is explored. This work consists of two parts, the first, to obtain a representation ...
