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... -
Multirater Validation of Peripapillary Hyperreflective Ovoid Mass-like Struct...
Peripapillary hyperreflective ovoid mass-like structures (PHOMS) are a new retinal optical coherence tomography (OCT) finding. The Optic Disc Drusen Studies Consortium had made... -
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... -
Testing for correlation between two time series using a parametric bootstrap
We study the problem of determining if two time series are correlated in the mean and variance. Several test statistics, originally designed for determining the correlation... -
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... -
Association of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate exposure with chronic kidney dis...
Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF)-based regimens have been associated with impaired kidney function and loss of bone mineral density among patients living with HIV (PLWH). We... -
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... -
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... -
A minimalistic approach for evapotranspiration estimation using the Prophet m...
This study aimed to evaluate the potential of the recently introduced Prophet model for estimating reference evapotranspiration (ETo). A comparative study was conducted for... -
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... -
Designing a data-driven leagile sustainable closed-loop supply chain network
Nowadays, there is a great deal of interest in applying sustainability concepts for logistics and supply chain management. This paper proposes a new multi objective model in the... -

We show how a factor analysis model can be fitted to nominal data using the computer program Mplus. The model is akin to multinomial logistic regression with unobserved... -
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... -
Small area estimation of expenditure means and ratios under a unit-level biva...
Under a unit-level bivariate linear mixed model, this paper introduces small area predictors of expenditure means and ratios, and derives approximations and estimators of the...
