Let Master of Public Health Students Experience Statistical Reasoning [PDF]
Athens Journal of Health and Medical Sciences, 2020 Biostatistics is an integral part of any public health studentʼs curriculum. Most master-level public health students, lacking undergraduate training in calculus-centered mathematics, are often regarded as unprepared for conceptual knowledge, and hence ...

Noise stability of signal reception algorithms with multipulse pulse-position modulation [PDF]
Компьютерная оптика, 2018 An algorithm for estimating time positions and amplitudes of a periodic pulse sequence from a small number of samples was proposed. The number of these samples was determined only by the number of pulses.

Comparison Between the Exact Likelihood and Whittle Likelihood for Moving Average Processes
Statistica, 2022 For Gaussian stationary processes, the likelihood functions include the inverse and determinant of the covariance matrices, and Whittle likelihood is considered as a standard technique to avoid expensive matrix determinant and inversions under large ...

Prior Distribution and Entropy in Computer Adaptive Testing Ability Estimation through MAP or EAP
Entropy, 2022 To derive a latent trait (for instance ability) in a computer adaptive testing (CAT) framework, the obtained results from a model must have a direct relationship to the examinees’ response to a set of items presented.

Estimating Dynamic Signals From Trial Data With Censored Values
Computational Psychiatry, 2017 Censored data occur commonly in trial-structured behavioral experiments and many other forms of longitudinal data. They can lead to severe bias and reduction of statistical power in subsequent analyses.
