An introduction to the full random effects model

open access: yesCPT: Pharmacometrics & Systems Pharmacology, 2022
The full random‐effects model (FREM) is a method for determining covariate effects in mixed‐effects models. Covariates are modeled as random variables, described by mean and variance.

The Modified Borel–Tanner (Mbt) Regression Model

open access: yesRevstat Statistical Journal, 2017
A new one-parameter family of discrete distributions is presented. It has some advantages against the Poisson distribution as a suitable model for modelling data with a high frequencies of zeros and showing over-dispersion (variance larger than the mean)

Modeling of Cellular Networks Using Stationary and Nonstationary Point Processes

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2018
The spatial topology of the base stations in wireless networks has a profound impact on their performance evaluation and analysis. It is important to identify a proper and accurate point process model before applying any theoretical stochastic geometry ...

Covariance-on-covariance regression

open access: yesBiometrics
ABSTRACT A covariance-on-covariance regression model is introduced in this manuscript. It is assumed that there exists (at least) a pair of linear projections on outcome covariance matrices and predictor covariance matrices such that a log-linear model links the variances in the projection spaces, as well as additional covariates of ...

A Review on ROC Curves in the Presence of Covariates

open access: yesRevstat Statistical Journal, 2014
In this paper we review the literature on ROC curves in the presence of covariates. We discuss the different approaches that have been proposed in the literature to define, model, estimate and do asymptotics for ROC curves that incorporate covariates ...

Applied comparison of large‐scale propensity score matching and cardinality matching for causal inference in observational research

open access: yesBMC Medical Research Methodology, 2021
Background Cardinality matching (CM), a novel matching technique, finds the largest matched sample meeting prespecified balance criteria thereby overcoming limitations of propensity score matching (PSM) associated with limited covariate overlap, which ...

Robustness of meta-analyses in finding gene × environment interactions. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Meta-analyses that synthesize statistical evidence across studies have become important analytical tools for genetic studies. Inspired by the success of genome-wide association studies of the genetic main effect, researchers are searching for gene ...

To Adjust or Not to Adjust? Sensitivity Analysis of M-Bias and Butterfly-Bias

open access: yesJournal of Causal Inference, 2015
“M-Bias,” as it is called in the epidemiologic literature, is the bias introduced by conditioning on a pretreatment covariate due to a particular “M-Structure” between two latent factors, an observed treatment, an outcome, and a “collider.” This ...

Demystifying Smoker's Paradox: A Propensity Score–Weighted Analysis in Patients Hospitalized With Acute Heart Failure

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2019
Background Smoker's paradox has been observed with several vascular disorders, yet there are limited data in patients with acute heart failure (HF). We examined the effects of smoking in patients with acute HF using data from a large multicenter registry.
