Combining longitudinal and survival information in Bayesian joint models: When are treatment estimates improved?
In studying a biological process, investigators may repeatedly measure features of the process (longitudinal data) and also measure the time to an important state change (survival data). For example, a clinical trial may measure symptom severity and time until death. The most popular class of joint models for simultaneously analyzing longitudinal and survival data uses latent variables to link ...
متن کاملInterval Estimates When No Failures Are Observed
In this paper we discuss ways to use Bayesian methodology to estimate the matching performance of a biometric identification device when no errors are detected. One of the drawbacks to the classical or frequentist statistical estimation methods is that it is not possible to create a confidence interval for the error rate when no errors are observed. In this paper we begin by discussing the rele...
متن کاملModels of treatment effects when responses are heterogeneous.
Heckman and Vytlacil (1) synthesize and extend a recent body of research in economics and statistics on the identification and estimation of treatment effects when the subjects have heterogeneous responses. This research has demonstrated the importance of distinguishing between several different types of treatment effects and the need to establish firmly the relationship between the different t...
متن کاملImproved Estimates of Kinematic Wave Parameters for Circular Channels
The momentum equation in the kinematic wave model is a power-law equation with two parameters. These parameters, which relate the discharge to the flow area, are commonly derived using Manning’s equation. In general, the values of these parameters depend on the flow depth except for some special cross sections. In this paper, improved estimates of the kinematic wave parameters for circular chan...
متن کاملImproved Class Probability Estimates from Decision Tree Models
Decision tree models typically give good classification decisions but poor probability estimates. In many applications, it is important to have good probability estimates as well. This paper introduces a new algorithm, Bagged Lazy Option Trees (B-LOTs), for constructing decision trees and compares it to an alternative, Bagged Probability Estimation Trees (B-PETs). The quality of the class proba...
