Statistical model on student performance in UTHM by using non-parametric, semi-parametric and parametric survival analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Student performance defined as students who are capable to success during their studies. This study explored the use of survival analysis to investigate the performance of Bachelor’s degree students in Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM). The data

Knee Crepitus and Osteoarthritis Features in Young Adults Following Traumatic Knee Injury

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective This study explored the association between knee crepitus and the presence, and worsening, of structural osteoarthritis features and self‐reported outcomes in young adults following traumatic knee injury. Methods One year following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), 112 participants (41 female participants; median age 28 years ...

Clinical Conditions Associated With a High Antinuclear Antibody Titer in Individuals Without Autoimmune Disease

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Antinuclear antibodies (ANAs) are present at high titers in 2% of the general population, but their clinical significance in individuals without an autoimmune (AI) disease is not known. We tested the hypothesis that the presence of a high ANA titer in non‐AI conditions is associated with disease.

The temporal trends and short‐ and long‐term mortality of people with acute myocardial infarction and rheumatoid arthritis: a nationwide cohort study

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Aims We investigated whether a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) affects the quality of inpatient acute myocardial infarction (AMI) care and long‐term mortality post‐AMI. Methods We analysed data from 784,091 adults, 6,047 with a diagnosis of RA, from England and Wales hospitalised with AMI between 2005 and 2019 from the MINAP registry, linked ...

Bayesian Accelerated Failure Time Model for Zero-Inflated Survival Data With Application to Liver Cirrhosis

open access: yesJournal of Probability and Statistics
Analyzing count data, particularly in survival analysis, is challenging when there are many zeros, and some observations are right-censored. This study tackles zero-inflated survival event data (ZISED), specifically focusing on liver cirrhosis cases in ...

Hopfield Neural Networks for Online Constrained Parameter Estimation With Time‐Varying Dynamics and Disturbances

open access: yesInternational Journal of Adaptive Control and Signal Processing, EarlyView.
This paper proposes two projector‐based Hopfield neural network (HNN) estimators for online, constrained parameter estimation under time‐varying data, additive disturbances, and slowly drifting physical parameters. The first is a constraint‐aware HNN that enforces linear equalities and inequalities (via slack neurons) and continuously tracks the ...

Asymptotic behavior of mixture failure rates [PDF]

open access: yes
Mixtures of increasing failure rate distributions (IFR) can decrease at least in some intervals of time. Usually this property is observed asymptotically as time tends to infinity , which is due to the fact that a mixture failure rate is ‘bent down’, as ...

Linear Regression of Censored Length-biased Lifetimes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Length-biased lifetimes may be collected in observational studies or sample surveys due to biased sampling scheme. In this article, we use a linear regression model, namely, the accelerated failure time model, for the population lifetime distributions ...

Bistable Mechanisms 3D Printing for Mechanically Programmable Vibration Control

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This work introduces a 3D‐printed bistable mechanism integrated into tuned mass dampers (TMDs) for mechanically adaptive passive vibration suppression. Through optimized geometry, the bistable design provides adaptable vibration reduction across a broad range of scenarios, achieving effective vibration mitigation without complex controls or external ...
