In this work, an analytic formulation aimed at estimating the effects of curvature on the ballistic limit of thin woven fabric composite targets given their mechanical and geometric properties, as well as the projectile shape and initial velocity, is proposed.
An ITT aims at estimating the overall effect of an intervention by including all initially randomized participants.
Our study aimed at estimating the potential effect of the appearance of a cigarette package on the smoking behaviour of adolescents in Flanders.
We are testing this modeling approach as part of a broader computational and experimental effort aimed at estimating the putative effects of xenobiotics on the human liver by integrating chemical concentration, molecular pathways, cellular responses, and the role of cell-cell communication.
Limiting the analyses to those five HIV positive cohorts without TB at study entry but estimating the effect of 'incident' TB on all cause mortality in HIV positives, risk of mortality was 2.6 times higher for HIV positives who developed TB compared to HIV positives who did not develop (HR: 2.6 (95% CI: 1.6 4.1)).
Essentially an extension of generalised estimating equations, alternating logistic regression produces pairwise odds ratios to describe the correlation within a cluster while at the same time estimating the effect of covariates on the outcome.
We carried out a retrospective analysis of routine data at GP practice level, estimating the effect of four QOF indicators (table 1) on psychiatric admissions to hospital using random effects Poisson regression.
The paper, by Alan S. Blinder, a Princeton professor and former vice chairman of the Fed, and Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics, represents a first stab at comprehensively estimating the effects of the economic policy responses of the last few years.
