Discharge teaching, patient-reported discharge readiness and postsurgical outcomes in gynecologic patients undergoing day surgery: a generalized estimating equation

open access: yesBMC Surgery, 2022
Background Gynecologic patients undergoing day surgery are discharged in an intermediate stage of recovery. The quality of discharge teaching and discharge readiness are important to patients’ postsurgical outcomes, but little research has focused on ...

Schauder Estimates for Equations Associated with Lévy Generators [PDF]

open access: yesIntegral Equations and Operator Theory, 2019
We study the regularity of solutions to the integro-differential equation $Af- f=g$ associated with the infinitesimal generator $A$ of a L vy process. We show that gradient estimates for the transition density can be used to derive Schauder estimates for $f$.

Data acquisition varies by bat phonic group for 2 types of bat detectors when weatherproofed and paired in field settings

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, 2015
Manufacturers of acoustic bat detectors use proprietary microphones with different frequency responses, sensitivities, and directionality. Researchers implement various waterproofing strategies to protect microphones from inclement weather. These factors

Assessing the Use of GEE Methods for Analyzing Continuous Outcomes from Family Studies: Strong Heart Family Study

open access: yesEpidemiology, Biostatistics and Public Health, 2023
Background: Because of its convenience and robustness, the generalized estimating equations (GEE) method has been commonly used to fit marginal models of continuous outcomes in family studies.

A Generalized Estimating Equations Approach to Model Heterogeneity and Time Dependence in Capture-Recapture Studies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Individual heterogeneity in capture probabilities and time dependence are fundamentally important for estimating the closed animal population parameters in capture-recapture studies.

Techniques for Estimating Flood-Frequency Discharges for Streams in Iowa, HR-395A, 2001 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
A statewide study was conducted to develop regression equations for estimating flood-frequency discharges for ungaged stream sites in Iowa. Thirty-eight selected basin characteristics were quantified and flood-frequency analyses were computed for ...

Analysis of Comparative Data Using Generalized Estimating Equations [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Theoretical Biology, 2002
It is widely acknowledged that the analysis of comparative data from related species should be performed taking into account their phylogenetic relationships. We introduce a new method, based on the use of generalized estimating equations (GEE), for the analysis of comparative data.

The trend of direct medical costs and associated factors in patients with chronic hepatitis B in Guangzhou, China: an eight-year retrospective cohort study

open access: yesBMC Medical Informatics and Decision Making, 2021
Background Although the expenses of liver cirrhosis are covered by a critical illness fund under the current health insurance program in China, the medical costs associated with hepatitis B virus (HBV) related diseases is not well addressed.

On Ill-Conditioned Generalized Estimating Equations and Toward Unified Biased Estimation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
I address the issue of ill-conditioned regressors within generalized estimating equations (GEEs). In such a setting, standard GEE approaches can have problems with: convergence, large coefficient variances, poor prediction, deflated power of tests, and ...

The cluster bootstrap consistency in generalized estimating equations

open access: yesJournal of Multivariate Analysis, 2013
The cluster bootstrap resamples clusters or subjects instead of individual observations in order to preserve the dependence within each cluster or subject. In this paper, we provide a theoretical justification of using the cluster bootstrap for the inferences of the generalized estimating equations (GEE) for clustered/longitudinal data.
