Pricing methods in outcome-based contracting: δ2: Willingness-to-pay-based pr...
Aims: Six Delta is a six-dimensional independent platform for outcome-based pricing/contracting. The second dimension (δ2) estimates prices on the basis of four... -
Multiple regression model averaging and the focused information criterion wit...
We consider multiple regression (MR) model averaging using the Focused Informati on Criterion (FIC). Our approach is motivated by the problem of implementing a mean-variance... -
Handgrip strength improves prediction of type 2 diabetes: a prospective cohor...
We aimed to determine whether handgrip strength (HGS)improves type 2 diabetes (T2D) risk prediction beyond conventional risk factors. Handgrip strength was assessed at baseline... -
E-waste legislation in the US: An analysis of the disparate design and result...
Electronic waste management in the US has been characterized as ‘inconsistent’, ‘disparate’, and a ‘patchwork’. While there is currently no federal leadership on the regulation... -
Renal complications in COVID-19: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Emerging data suggest that coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has extrapulmonary manifestations but its renal manifestations are not clearly defined. We aimed to evaluate renal... -
Reliability analysis of multicomponent stress–strength reliability from a bat...
In this paper, inference for a multicomponent stress–strength model is studied. When latent strength and stress random variables follow a bathtub-shaped distribution and the... -
Vehicle safety characteristics in vulnerable driver populations
National data suggest drivers who are younger, older, and have lower socioeconomic status (SES) have heightened crash-related injury rates. Ensuring vulnerable drivers are in... -
Association between cotinine-verified smoking status and hypertension in 167,...
Purpose: Previous studies showed inconsistent results concerning the relationship between chronic smoking and blood pressure. Most of the studies involved self-reported smoking... -
Elective cesarean delivery and long-term cardiovascular morbidity in the offs...
To evaluate the impact of cesarean delivery (CD) on offspring risk for long-term cardiovascular morbidity. A population-based cohort analysis was performed, including all... -
Predictive Value of Blood Interleukin-6 Level in Patients with Acute Coronary...
Conflicting results have been reported on the association between blood level of interleukin-6 and adverse outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The current... -
Estimation of bias-corrected intraclass correlation coefficient for unbalance...
Intraclass correlation coefficient for data in a clustered study is traditionally estimated from a one-way random-effects model. This model assumes normality for the random... -
Maternal intake of caffeinated products and birth defects: a systematic revie...
Caffeinated products are frequently consumed by women of childbearing age worldwide. It still unclear that whether maternal intake of caffeine associated with an increased risk... -
Methylation Status of VDR Gene and its Association with Vitamin D Status and ...
Deficiency in circulatory vitamin D level and vitamin D receptor DNA methylation could be associated with weakened innate immune response and increased susceptibility to... -
Monitoring the effects of vehicle components’ size on optimum structural cras...
To determine the effects of vehicle components’ size on the optimum structural crashworthiness of a vehicle, sufficient data on the expected crash behaviour are required.... -
Semiparametric efficient inferences for generalised partially linear models
In this paper, we consider semiparametric efficient inferences in the generalised partially linear models. A novel bias-corrected estimating procedure and a bias-corrected... -
He Has Gone to a Better Place, but She Has Not: Health Status of Hindu Widows...
Using detailed individual and household-level data from the first two rounds of the India Human Development Survey (IHDS) conducted in 2004–05 and 2011–12, this paper estimates... -

: One third of high- and prohibitive-risk TAVR patients remain severely symptomatic or die 1 year after treatment. There is interest in identifying individuals for whom this... -
Repeatability study of replicate crash tests: A signal analysis approach
Objective: To provide an objective basis on which to evaluate the repeatability of vehicle crash test methods, a recently developed signal analysis method was used to evaluate... -
Effects of a dance intervention on single and dual-task gait in community-dwe...
To establish a protocol of dance choreographies in order to determine how the regular practice of dance interferes with gait (habitual and dual-task) of community-dwelling older... -
Inventory rationing on a one-for-one inventory model for two priority custome...
In this study, we are primarily motivated by the research problem of recognizing heterogeneous customer behavior towards waiting for order fulfillment under the threshold...
