Estimating age conditional probability of developing disease from surveillance data
Fay, Pfeiffer, Cronin, Le, and Feuer (Statistics in Medicine 2003; 22; 1837-1848) developed a formula to calculate the age-conditional probability of developing a disease for the first time (ACPDvD) for a hypothetical cohort. The novelty of the formula of Fay et al (2003) is that one need not know the rates of first incidence of disease per person-years alive and disease-free, but may input the...
متن کاملEstimating Conditional Probability Densities for Periodic Variables
Most of the common techniques for estimating conditional probability densities are inappropriate for applications involving periodic variables. In this paper we introduce three novel techniques for tackling such problems, and investigate their performance using synthetic data. We then apply these techniques to the problem of extracting the distribution of wind vector directions from radar scatt...
متن کاملEstimating Takeoff Thrust from Surveillance Track Data
Emissions inventory calculations for airports, using standard emissions inventory reporting methods, are inflated due an assumption of use of maximum takeoff thrust. To enhance the operational life of jet engines and reduce fuel burn, airlines frequently use reduced thrust (i.e. Derated or Flex Temperature thrust) for the takeoff procedure. Without access to internal airline “load sheet” paperw...
متن کاملEstimating Conditional Densities from Sparse Data for Statistical Language Modeling
The Maximum Likelihood Set (MLS) was recently introduced in [1] as an effective, parameter-free technique for estimating a probability mass function (pmf) from sparse data. The MLS contains all pmfs that assign merely a higher likelihood to the observed counts than to any other set of counts, for the same sample size. In this paper, the MLS is extended to the case of conditional density estimat...
