Capturing transients: an application of biostatistics to astronomy
… analyses using capture-recapture methods from biostatistics. In the first of three separate analyses, we reproduce results of Laycock (2017). Strategically sampled X-ray lightcurves of simulated populations of high mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs) are used to probe estimator behaviour and …

Covariance estimation on matrix manifolds
… in climatology, econometrics, model reduction, biostatistics, signal processing, and geostatistics, among other applications. In practice, covariances often must be estimated from samples. While the sample covariance matrix is a consistent estimator, it performs poorly when the relative number …

Bioinformatics e Biostatistics applied to research in pediatric genetic disease. Clinical evidence in IFNλ4 polymorphisms associated with HCV infection in patients with beta thalassemia and WGCNA analysis weighted for IFNλ4 genotype rs12979860 to detect RPL9P18 as hub in HCV infected cell.
Genome-wide association studies have identified host genetic variation to be critical for spontaneous clearance and treatment response in patients infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV). We demonstrated the same in patients with thalassemia major infected by genotype 1b of HCV. In the present first …

Impact of Stress Management on Learning in a Classroom Setting
… a cross-over design in two introductory graduate biostatistics classes. Each class met one day per week for the duration of the semester, and was taught by the same instructor, following the same syllabus. A pretest duplicating items on the midterm and final exam was administered to all students …

Bayesian methods in non-clinical pharmaceutical statistics.
… has been considered extensively in the clinical biostatistics area, can be applied to determine the number of commercial scale batches that are needed for Stage II of the process validation life-cycle. In the second paper, we propose a Bayesian methodology for estimation of resistance parameters …

Copula-Based Zero-Inflated Count Time Series Models
… disciplines such as in environmental science, biostatistics, economics, public health, and finance. In some cases, a specific count, say zero, may occur more often than usual. Additionally, serial dependence might be found among these counts if they are recorded over time. Overlooking the …

Vaikų smurtinių traumų mechanizmas ir amžiaus ypatumai /
… 13.0 software and the traditional methods of biostatistics. It has been established that in the group of children aged 14-17 years, it was mostly boys who incurred traumas (81.1%). These traumas were predominantly sustained in public places (72.9%), less frequently in school (17.1 %) and even …

Fiducial Inference for Mixed-Effects Models: A Frequentist Advancement for Small-Sample Problems
… statisticians and applied researchers working in biostatistics, environmental science, and public health. Future directions include extending the framework to high-dimensional data, deeper hierarchical models, and multiple testing problems.

Statistical methods for longitudinal medical data with applications
… we discuss the use of longitudinal data in biostatistics and their analysis, focusing on three specific real cases of study. Longitudinal data refer to collections of repeated measurements of specific variables of interest at multiple time points. Their analysis offers many advantages: among …

Clinical Presence: Impact on Predictive Modelling and Algorithmic Fairness
… connecting methodologies from machine learning, biostatistics, and algorithmic fairness, we aim to provide insights into clinical presence and its impact on predictive models and algorithmic fairness. In each chapter, we explore a different aspect of clinical presence and its impact on predictive …

Harmonizing core competencies for Master of Public Health Training programmes in Africa
… and skills in domains like Epidemiology, Biostatistics, Health Systems, Policy and Management, Health Promotion, Environmental Health Science, and Social and Behavioural Science, few programs provided graduates with the platform/opportunity to apply this knowledge and skills to real-life …

Statistical modelling and inference for financial auditing
… reliability, insurance, meteorology and biostatistics. The motivating example underlying this research is that of auditing (see the report published by the National Academy Press entitled “Statistical Models and Analysis in Auditing”, Panel on Non-standard Mixtures of Distributions 1989), …

Essays in Econometrics
… led by James Wason and Chien-Ju Lin of the MRC Biostatistics Unit. The paper focuses on time-to-event studies with several possible causes of event for each individual. When these competing risks are mutually dependent and only information on the time-to-first-event is available, marginal …

Mobile Applications and Delivery of Bioinformatics Education in the Post-Secondary Introductory Biological Science Classroom
… on CRISPR techniques combines bioinformatics, biostatistics, and life science concepts, as well as introduces a current and very relevant topic that has potential to impact the world of science and public policy. In addition, secondary schools (high schools) can use this tool to bring in …
