Financial Burden Associated With Hospitalisation Among Families of Childhood Brain Tumours in Australia

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Families of children with cancer experience significant financial strain, even with universal healthcare. Indirect costs, such as productivity losses and non‐medical expenses, are rarely included in economic evaluations, and little is known about how effectively financial aid programmes alleviate this burden. Childhood brain tumours

Iteratively Reweighted Least Squares Fiducial Interval for Variance in Unbalanced Variance Components Model

Mathematics
The objective of this work is to propose the iteratively reweighted least squares concept to form a fiducial generalized pivotal quantity of the between-group variance component for the unbalanced variance components model.

Generalized Fiducial Inference for the Generalized Rayleigh Distribution

Modelling, 2023
This article focuses on the interval estimation of the generalized Rayleigh distribution with scale and shape parameters. The generalized fiducial method is used to construct the fiducial point estimators as well as the fiducial confidence intervals, and

Inference on the Parameters of the Weibull Distribution Using Records [PDF]

, 2015
The Weibull distribution is a very applicable model for the lifetime data. In this paper, we have investigated inference on the parameters of Weibull distribution based on record values.

Relationship between Low Free Testosterone Levels and Loss of Muscle Mass [PDF]

, 2013
We assessed longitudinal relationships between baseline testosterone and muscle mass changes in Japanese men. Data were collected from community-dwelling 957 adult men who participated in a longitudinal study of ageing biennially from 1997–2010 ...

Inpatient Food Insecurity and Pediatric Hematology Oncology Hospitalization Outcomes

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Children with cancer and blood disorders are at risk for food insecurity (FI). We aimed to describe the association of inpatient food insecurity (IFI) and hospitalization outcomes among patients admitted to the pediatric hematology oncology service. Of 325 caregivers screened for IFI, 60 (18.6%) screened positive.

Coherent frequentism [PDF]

, 2009
By representing the range of fair betting odds according to a pair of confidence set estimators, dual probability measures on parameter space called frequentist posteriors secure the coherence of subjective inference without any prior distribution.

LDAcoop: Integrating non‐linear population dynamics into the analysis of clonogenic growth in vitro

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Limiting dilution assays (LDAs) quantify clonogenic growth by seeding serial dilutions of cells and scoring wells for colony formation. The fraction of negative wells is plotted against cells seeded and analyzed using the non‐linear modeling of LDAcoop.
