Modeling of Cellular Networks Using Stationary and Nonstationary Point Processes
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 ...

Determination of environmental factors affecting the distribution of plant species in northern Zagros forests (Case study: Armardeh Forest, Baneh) [PDF]
Northern Zagros forests are one of the most important ecosystems in Iran from ecological and socio-economic points of view. This study was done to determine the most important gradients affecting on plant species distribution by using ordination methods.

An introduction to the full random effects model
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.

A Review on ROC Curves in the Presence of Covariates
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 ...

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

Covariance-on-covariance regression
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 ...

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 ...

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.
