Tolerance limits for a ratio of normal random variables.
The problem of deriving an upper tolerance limit for a ratio of two normally distributed random variables is addressed, when the random variables follow a bivariate normal distribution, or when they are independent normal. The derivation uses the fact that an upper tolerance limit for a random variable can be derived from a lower confidence limit for the cumulative distribution function (cdf) o...
متن کاملInformative censoring in relative survival.
With changing the age distribution at the time of cancer diagnosis, the administrative censoring due to study end may be informative. This problem has been mentioned frequently in the relative survival field, and an estimator aiming to correct this problem has been developed. In this paper, we review the existing methods for estimation in relative survival, demonstrate their deficiencies, and p...
متن کاملSome inequalities in connection to relative orders of entire functions of several complex variables
Let f, g and h be all entire functions of several complex variables. In this paper we would like to establish some inequalities on the basis of relative order and relative lower order of f with respect to g when the relative orders and relative lower orders of both f and g with respect to h are given.
متن کامل“Are my Laboratory Results Normal?” Considerations to be Made Concerning Reference Intervals and Decision Limits
This paper looks at the topic of reference intervals from the point of view of the patient or the clinician. The differences between the concepts of reference intervals (biological characteristic of a well defined population) and the various types of decision limits are illustrated and discussed. Decision limits can be defined in different ways: based on a Bayesian approach, on epidemiological ...
متن کاملContinuous Variables: to Categorize or to Model?
Continuous variables are often encountered in life. We measure age, blood pressure and many other things. In medicine, such measurements are often used to assess risk or prognosis or to select a therapy. However, the question of how best to use information from continuous variables is relevant in many areas. To relate an outcome variable to a single continuous variable, a suitable regression mo...
