Modeling the epidemic of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease demonstrates an exponential increase in burden of disease
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and resulting nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) are highly prevalent in the United States, where they are a growing cause of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and increasingly an indicator for liver transplantation. A Markov model was used to forecast NAFLD disease progression. Incidence of NAFLD was based on historical and projected changes...
متن کاملExponential and Piecewise Exponential Distributions
Since lifetimes are almost always non-negative, the normal model/distribution may not be appropriate. An easy to use, positive distribution is the exponential distribution. To a less extend, exponential distributions to the survival analysis is like normal distributions to the linear model/ANOVA. Piecewise exponential distribution is also used to bridge/connect the parametric and nonparametric ...
متن کاملExponential Models: Approximations for Probabilities
Welch & Peers (1963) used a root-information prior to obtain posterior probabilities for a scalar parameter exponential model and showed that these Bayes probabilities had the confidence property to second order asymptotically. An important undercurrent of this indicates that the constant information reparameterization provides location model structure, for which the confidence property ...
متن کاملGeneralized Exponential Euler Polynomials and Exponential Splines
Here presented is constructive generalization of exponential Euler polynomial and exponential splines based on the interrelationship between the set of concepts of Eulerian polynomials, Eulerian numbers, and Eulerian fractions and the set of concepts related to spline functions. The applications of generalized exponential Euler polynomials in series transformations and expansions are also given.
متن کاملA Random Walk with Exponential Travel Times
Consider the random walk among N places with N(N - 1)/2 transports. We attach an exponential random variable Xij to each transport between places Pi and Pj and take these random variables mutually independent. If transports are possible or impossible independently with probability p and 1-p, respectively, then we give a lower bound for the distribution function of the smallest path at point log...
