Estimating abortion incidence using the network scale-up method
Demographic Research, 2020 Background: A major challenge in abortion research is accurately measuring the incidence of induced abortion, particularly in restrictive settings. This study tests the network scale-up method (NSUM) to measure abortion incidence, which uses respondent ...

Estimating Functions in Indirect Inference
Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series B: Statistical Methodology, 2004 SummaryThere are models for which the evaluation of the likelihood is infeasible in practice. For these models the Metropolis–Hastings acceptance probability cannot be easily computed. This is the case, for instance, when only departure times from a G/G/1 queue are observed and inference on the arrival and service distributions are required.

Decomposing heritability and genetic covariance by direct and indirect effect paths.
PLoS Genetics, 2023 Estimation of heritability and genetic covariance is crucial for quantifying and understanding complex trait genetic architecture and is employed in almost all recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS).

Mean Ages at Parities: An Indirect Estimation [PDF]
The Pakistan Development Review, 1995 This paper is the outcome of a continuous concern that some of the basic demographic estimates provided by successive surveys in the country do not fulfil the expectation of use at their face value. In a previous paper, an indirect assessment of the birth rates from these surveys was made on the basis of internal consistency of ...

An Indirect Method of Micromagnetic Structure Estimation in Microwires
Nanomaterials, 2021 The tunable magnetic properties of amorphous ferromagnetic glass-coated microwires make them suitable for a wide range of applications. Accurate knowledge of the micromagnetic structure is highly desirable since it affects almost all magnetic properties.
