A comparison of parametric models for mortality graduation. Application to mortality data for the Valencia Region (Spain).

Ana Debón, Francisco Montes, Ramón Sala (2005)

SORT

Similarity:

The parametric graduation of mortality data has as its objective the satisfactory estimation of the death rates based on mortality data but using an age-dependent function whose parameters are adjusted from the crude rates obtainable directly from the data. This paper proposes a revision of the most commonly used parametric models and compares the result obtained with each of them when they are applied to the mortality data for the Valencia Region. As a result of the comparison, we conclude...

A Bayesian Spatial Mixture Model for FMRI Analysis

Geliazkova, Maya (2010)

Serdica Journal of Computing

Similarity:

We develop, implement and study a new Bayesian spatial mixture model (BSMM). The proposed BSMM allows for spatial structure in the binary activation indicators through a latent thresholded Gaussian Markov random field. We develop a Gibbs (MCMC) sampler to perform posterior inference on the model parameters, which then allows us to assess the posterior probabilities of activation for each voxel. One purpose of this article is to compare the HJ model and the BSMM in terms of receiver operating characteristics...

On the logical development of statistical models.

Daniel Peña (1988)

Trabajos de Estadística

Similarity:

This paper presents a classification of statistical models using a simple and logical framework. Some remarks are made about the historical appearance of each type of model and the practical problems that motivated them. It is argued that the current stages of the statistical methodology for model building have arisen in response to the needs for more sophisticated procedures for building dynamic-explicative types of models. Some potentially important topics for future research are included. ...

An evaluation of the efficiency of plant protection products via nonlinear statistical methods – a simulation study

Ewa Skotarczak, Ewa Bakinowska, Kamila Tomaszyk (2014)

Biometrical Letters

Similarity:

A nonlinear statistical approach was used to evaluate the efficiency of plant protection products. The methodology presented can be implemented when the observations in an experiment are recorded as success or failure. This occurs, for example, when following the application of a herbicide or pesticide, a single weed or insect is classified as alive (failure) or dead (success). Then a higher probability of success means a higher efficiency of the tested product. Using simulated data...

Stochastic models and statistical inference for plant pollen dispersal

Catherine Laredo, Agnès Grimaud (2007)

Journal de la société française de statistique

Similarity:

Modelling pollen dispersal is essential to make predictions of cross-pollination rates in various environmental conditions between plants of a cultivated species. An important tool for studying this problem is the “individual pollen dispersal function” or “kernel dispersal”. Various models for airborne pollen dispersal are developed. These models are based on assumptions about wind directionality, gravity, settling velocity and may integrate other biological or external parameters. Some...
