We displayed results in TRACER v1.5 [ 47] to confirm acceptable mixing and likelihood stationarity, appropriate burn-in, and adequate effective sample sizes (ESS) above 200 [ 48] for all estimated parameters.
The less conservative approach may overestimate the effects of herd effect induced by childhood vaccination, particularly for age groups with a low likelihood of mixing with children and/or with little or no pre-existing vaccination coverage.
We employed three related analyses: a least squares mixed-model ANOVA, a maximum likelihood mixed-effects analysis and a Bayesian multilevel (or hierarchical) model using Gibbs Sampling (MCMC).
The victims' relatives were told their loved ones had probably got mafia connections and were in all likelihood mixed up in a drug-smuggling racket.
The results of studies of the structure and socioeconomic status of families are likewise mixed regarding the likelihood of children becoming bullies.
Because of the relatively short distances between study sites and the likelihood of bats mixing between these sites, bats of each species were considered to belong to single populations.
Outcomes (change in serum pH, pCO2, HCO3, and base excess) used a maximum-likelihood, mixed-effects repeated-measures model (MMRM) with all longitudinal observations.
She also pointed out that "polydrug use means increased neurotransmitter release and the increased likelihood of depletion", which basically means mixing drugs makes brain zaps worse.
In the M-step, the update for mixing proportions is straightforward: (7) To update, we make a profile likelihood argument that leads to a partial likelihood (Johansen, 1983).
Find the initial values of the maximum likelihood parameters which are mean, covariance, and mixing weights.
