Analyzing Competing Risks with Progressively Type-II Censored Data in Dagum Distributions
Competing risk models are essential in survival analysis for studying systems with multiple mutually exclusive failure events. This study investigates the application of competing risk models in the presence of progressively Type-II censored data for the

Turning Slowly Predicts Future Diagnosis of Parkinson's Disease: A Decade‐Long Longitudinal Analysis
Objective Wearable technology allows accurate measurement of turning while walking, with cross‐sectional studies indicating that difficulty turning presents even in preclinical phases of Parkinson's disease. The aim of our study was to quantify rate of change of turning performance in a cohort of older adults, and test whether turning decline can ...
