Estimators of vital events in dual-record systems
Journal of Applied Statistics, 2000Dual-record system estimation has been widely used to obtain vital events in the past. Because of the weakness of the statistical assumptions of the model, as well as the biases involved in the estimators, its use became limited. The proposed estimators for dual-record systems are based on further division of the cells of the original table.

Automatic recognition of significant events in the vital signs of neonatal infants
Computers and Biomedical Research, 1979Abstract A method is presented which automatically detects and reports on some of the commonly described irregularities in the vital signs of neonatal infants. The program is compact and may be used on-line in a minicomputer system which monitors these infants.

When to Be a Nonconformist Entrepreneur? Organizational Responses to Vital Events
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2012Salient successes and failures among organizations, such as spectacular venture capital investments or agonizing bankruptcies, affect consensus beliefs about the viability of particular markets. We argue that collective sense making in the wake of such vital events triggers overreactions in shared perceptions of particular markets.

Access and accessibility to Canadian vital event records
1993The transfer of copies of vital event records into a government archives repository is necessary not only to ensure their ongoing preservation, but also to provide access and accessibility to them for all researchers in an appropriate setting. At present all vital event records gatekeepers in Canada, except two, do not have in place a system providing ...

Detecting artifactual events in vital signs monitoring data
2016In this study we collect and annotate data from 27 intensive care unit (ICU) patients from the Southern General Hospital in Glasgow. Two models are compared for the detection, removal and cleaning of artifact in the vital signs data, namely the Factorial Switching Linear Dynamical System (FSLDS) and the Discriminative Switching Linear Dynamical System (

Minimalist Organizations: Vital Events in State Bar Associations, 1870-1930
American Sociological Review, 1987This paper uses national data on the growth of state bar associations to develop organizational theory in three respects. First it refines the theory of organizational vital events through a distinction between minimalist and nonminimalist organizations.

Generation of vital event notifications from DHIS2 for strengthening CRVS system
2017 IEEE 7th Annual Computing and Communication Workshop and Conference (CCWC), 2017Vital events such as birth, death, marriage and divorce are recorded by the civil registration systems, and they are the major sources of national vital statistics. In most of the developing and under-developed countries, the civil registration and vital statistics systems are non-existent or weak.
