Prokinetics for the treatment of functional dyspepsia: Bayesian network meta-analysis

BMC Gastroenterology, 2017
Background Controversies persist regarding the effect of prokinetics for the treatment of functional dyspepsia (FD). This study aimed to assess the comparative efficacy of prokinetic agents for the treatment of FD.

Arc-Tangent Exponential Distribution With Applications to Weather and Chemical Data Under Classical and Bayesian Approach

IEEE Access, 2023
This paper introduces the Arctan exponential distribution, a novel two-parameter trigonometric distribution. Various statistical properties of the distribution are examined, including hazard rate functions, cumulative hazard rate functions, mean ...

Confidence intervals for ratio of means of delta-lognormal distributions based on left-censored data with application to rainfall data in Thailand [PDF]

PeerJ, 2023
Thailand is a country that is prone to both floods and droughts, and these natural disasters have significant impacts on the country’s people, economy, and environment. Estimating rainfall is an important part of flood and drought prevention.

Parameter estimation on gravitational waves from neutron-star binaries with spinning components [PDF]

, 2016
Inspiraling binary neutron stars are expected to be one of the most significant sources of gravitational-wave signals for the new generation of advanced ground-based detectors. We investigate how well we could hope to measure properties of these binaries

Estimating the Shape Parameter of Topp–Leone Distribution Based on Progressive Type II Censored Samples

Revstat Statistical Journal, 2016
In this paper, classical and Bayesian point estimations of the Topp–Leone distribution shape parameter are studied when the sample is progressive Type II censored. The maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) of the unknown parameter is proposed.

Parameter and Reliability Inferences of Inverted Exponentiated Half-Logistic Distribution under the Progressive First-Failure Censoring

Mathematics, 2020
Using progressive first-failure censored samples, we mainly study the inferences of the unknown parameters and the reliability and failure functions of the Inverted Exponentiated Half-Logistic distribution.

Smoking and fracture risk in men: a meta-analysis of cohort studies, using both frequentist and Bayesian approaches

Scientific Reports, 2022
Past studies indicate that men are more likely to smoke and be at higher risk of smoking-related conditions than women. Our research aimed, through meta-analysis, to assess the association between smoking and fracture risk in men. The following databases

Studies on properties and estimation problems for modified extension of exponential distribution [PDF]

, 2015
The present paper considers modified extension of the exponential distribution with three parameters. We study the main properties of this new distribution, with special emphasis on its median, mode and moments function and some characteristics related ...

Effectiveness of the BNT162b2 (Pfizer-BioNTech) and the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 (Oxford-AstraZeneca) vaccines for reducing susceptibility to infection with the Delta variant (B.1.617.2) of SARS-CoV-2

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2022
Background From January to May 2021 the alpha variant (B.1.1.7) of SARS-CoV-2 was the most commonly detected variant in the UK. Following this, the Delta variant (B.1.617.2) then became the predominant variant.
