Comparison of statistical models to analyse the genetic effect on within-litter variance in pigs
Genetics affects not only the weight of piglets at birth but also the variability of birth weight within litter. Previous studies on this topic assigned the sample standard deviation of piglet birth weights within litter as an observation to the sow ...

Discovering weaker genetic associations guided by known associations
Background The current understanding of the genetic basis of complex human diseases is that they are caused and affected by many common and rare genetic variants.

Prediction in Multivariate Mixed Linear Models [PDF]
Summary: In the multivariate mixed linear model or multivariate components of variance model with equal replications, this paper addresses the problem of predicting the sum of the regression mean and the random effects. When the feasible best linear unbiased predictors or empirical Bayes predictors are used, this prediction problem reduces to the ...

A Bilevel Mixed-Integer Linear Programming Model for Emissions Reduction
Government-industry interactions for emissions control can be modelled as Stackelberg or leader-follower games. Government acts as the leader by setting regulations and economic incentives, while industry as the follower reacts to these policies by ...

Spatial Linear Mixed Effects Modelling for OCT Images: SLME Model
Much recent research focuses on how to make disease detection more accurate as well as “slimmer”, i.e., allowing analysis with smaller datasets. Explanatory models are a hot research topic because they explain how the data are generated.

Modelling of intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay as a quality measure: a problematic exercise
Background Intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay (LOS) and the risk adjusted equivalent (RALOS) have been used as quality metrics. The latter measures entail either ratio or difference formulations or ICU random effects (RE), which have not been ...

Harmonization of Multicenter Cortical Thickness Data by Linear Mixed Effect Model
ObjectiveAnalyzing neuroimages being useful method in the field of neuroscience and neurology and solving the incompatibilities across protocols and vendors have become a major problem. We referred to this incompatibility as “center effects,” and in this

The Mixed Liu Estimator in Stochastic Restricted Linear Measurement Error Model
Ghapani and Babdi [1] proposed a mixed Liu estimator in linear measurement error model with stochastic linear restrictions. In this article, we propose an alternative mixed Liu estimator in the linear measurement error model with stochastic linear ...
