Quantifying and estimating additive measures of interaction from case-control data

open access: yes
In this paper we develop a general framework for quantifying how binary risk factors jointly influence a binary outcome. Our key result is an additive expansion of odds ratios as a sum of marginal effects and interaction terms of varying order.

Negative Binomial charts for monitoring high-quality processes [PDF]

open access: yes
Good control charts for high quality processes are often based on the number of successes between failures. Geometric charts are simplest in this respect, but slow in recognizing moderately increased failure rates p.

Indirect inference for survival data [PDF]

open access: yes
In this paper we describe the so-called "indirect" method of inference, originally developed from the econometric literature, and apply it to survival analyses of two data sets with repeated events.

Incorporating patients' characteristics in cost-effectiveness studies with clinical trial data: a flexible Bayesian approach [PDF]

open access: yes
Most published research on the comparison between medical treatment options merely compares the results (effectiveness and cost) obtained for each treatment group.

Model selection and sensitivity analysis for sequence pattern models

open access: yes
In this article we propose a maximal a posteriori (MAP) criterion for model selection in the motif discovery problem and investigate conditions under which the MAP asymptotically gives a correct prediction of model size. We also investigate robustness of

Classification of Smoking Cessation Status Using Various Data Mining Methods [PDF]

open access: yes
AMS Subj. Classification: 62P10, 62H30, 68T01This study examines different approaches of binary classification applied to the prob- lem of making distinction between former and current smokers.

A Test of Association between Qualitative Trait and a Set of SNPs [PDF]

open access: yes
2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 62P10, 92D10, 92D30, 62F03In this article, we propose a novel candidate-gene association test that utilizes a set of tightly linked single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).

Combining domain knowledge and statistical models in time series analysis

open access: yes
This paper describes a new approach to time series modeling that combines subject-matter knowledge of the system dynamics with statistical techniques in time series analysis and regression.
