Confidence Intervals for Estimates of Elasticities [PDF]

open access: yes
Elasticities are often estimated from the results of demand analysis however, drawing inferences from them may involve assumptions that could influence the outcome.

Confidence intervals for the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve in the presence of ignorable missing data [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2018
Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves are widely used as a measure of accuracy of diagnostic tests and can be summarized using the area under the ROC curve (AUC). Often, it is useful to construct a confidence intervals for the AUC, however, since there are a number of different proposed methods to measure variance of the AUC, there are thus ...

Effectiveness of a Telephone‐Delivered Walk With Ease Program on Arthritis‐Related Symptoms, Function, and Activity: A Randomized Trial

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Walk With Ease (WWE) is a six‐week arthritis‐appropriate evidence‐based physical activity program traditionally offered in a face‐to‐face format. Because many populations encounter participation barriers to in‐person programs, WWE was modified for telephone delivery (WWE‐T).

Asymptotic properties of robust three-stage procedure based on bootstrap for m-estimator [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
The paper concerns the fixed-width confidence intervals for location based on M- estimators in the location model. A robust three-stage procedure is proposed and its asymptotic properties are studied.

Placebo Effect Sizes in Clinical Trials of Knee Osteoarthritis Using Intra‐Articular Injections of Biologic Agents

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Patients with knee osteoarthritis rely on symptomatic treatments, in which up to 75% of the pain reduction can be attributed to the placebo effect. This effect may vary based on treatment type (eg, biologics vs nonbiologic injection) and route of administration (eg, intra‐articular vs topical vs oral).

Analysis of the Longitudinal Behavior of Serum Levels of Soluble Flt1 and Placental Growth Factor in Pregnant Patients With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective This study analyzed longitudinal trajectories of soluble Flt1 (sFlt1) levels, placenta growth factor (PlGF) levels, and sFlt1:PlGF ratios in a cohort of pregnant patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods Blood samples were collected (14–18, 24–26, 30–32, 34–36, and 38–40 weeks), stored at −80°C, and evaluated for serum levels ...

Nonparametric Conditional Inference for Regression Coefficients with Application to Configural Polysampling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We consider inference procedures, conditional on an observed ancillary statistic, for regression coefficients under a linear regression setup where the unknown error distribution is specified nonparametrically.

Using Quantile Regression Approach to Analyze Price Movements of Agricultural Products in China

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Agriculture, 2012
This paper studies how the price movements of pork, chicken and egg respond to those of related cost factors in short terms in Chinese market. We employ a linear quantile approach not only to explore potential data heteroscedasticity but also to generate

CFA with binary variables in small samples: A comparison of two methods

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2015
Asymptotically optimal correlation structure methods with binary data can break down in small samples. A new correlation structure methodology based on a recently developed odds-ratio (OR) approximation to the tetrachoric correlation coefficient is ...

Association of Higher Levels of High‐Sensitivity C‐Reactive Protein With Future Development of Psoriatic Arthritis in Psoriasis: A Prospective Cohort Study

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective We aimed to assess whether high‐sensitivity C‐reactive protein (hsCRP) levels could predict the development of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in patients with psoriasis. Methods We analyzed data from a prospective cohort of patients with psoriasis without PsA at enrollment.
