Modeling the Number of Attacks in Multiple Sclerosis Patients Using Zero-Inflated Negative Binomial Model [PDF]
International Journal of Epidemiologic Research, 2020 Background and aims: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory disease of the central nervous system. The impact of the number of attacks on the disease is undeniable. The aim of this study was to analyze the number of attacks in these patients. Methods:

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 7, July 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Nestedness possesses the capacity to unravel the ecological mechanisms underpinning biodiversity distribution and directly inform evidence‐based conservation strategies. However, previous studies have typically been confined to individual archipelagos and have predominantly focused on taxonomic nestedness alone, neglecting its cross ...

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 190, Issue 2, June 2026.Ordered probit regression is used as a latent trait model, with age at death estimated from a Gompertz distribution. Combined with Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling, this approach eliminates the need for reference priors for transition ages or population parameters.

A Bayesian approach for dynamic treatment regimes in the presence of competing risk analysis
Cancer Research, Statistics, and Treatment, 2018 Background: A sequencing rule is considered to formulate the dynamic treatment regime (DTR). This sequence rule is based on the clinical relevance, prior evidence about the best performing therapy, and the requirement to treat a patient in a specific ...

Global Biogeochemical Cycles, Volume 40, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Continental shelf sediments play a key role in the global carbon cycle through the long‐term storage of organic carbon (OC). However, outside of a few continental shelves dominated by large rivers our understanding of the mechanisms that drive the remineralization, burial and storage of OC across these sedimentary systems is underdeveloped.
