MD2 THE PARAMETRIC BOOTSTRAP: RECONCILING PARAMETRIC AND NON PARAMETRIC METHODS IN THE ESTIMATION OF CONFIDENCE INTERVALS FOR INCREMENTAL COST-EFFECTIVENESS RATIOS?

Comparison of Confidence Intervals for Large Operational Biometric Data by Parametric and Non-parametric Methods

Confidence Estimation via the Parametric Bootstrap in Logistic Joinpoint Regression.

We consider asymptotic properties of the maximum likelihood and related estimators in a clustered logistic joinpoint model with an unknown joinpoint. Sufficient conditions are given for the consistency of confidence bounds produced by the parametric bootstrap; one of the conditions required is that the true location of the joinpoint is not at one of the observation times. A simulation study is ...

Very High Resolution Parametric and Non- Parametric Sartomography Methods for Monitoring Urban Areas Structures

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is the only way to evaluate deformation of the Earth’s surface from space on the order of centimeters and millimeters due to its coherent nature and short wavelengths. Hence, by this means the long term risk monitoring and security are performed as precisely as possible. Traditional SAR imaging delivers a projection of the 3-D object to the two dimensional (2-D) a...

Trend analysis of discharge changes in the watershed of Nahrin Tabas Dam watershed using parametric and non-parametric methods

The trend of river discharge changes in arid and semi-arid regions is mostly decreasing and this trend can be influenced by climatic factors and rising temperatures in recent decades in these areas. This reduction in discharge could have a significant impact on the water storage of the Nahrin Dam and agriculture, industry and drinking water in Tabas City, which should be considered by experts. ...

Evaluation of Grain Yield Stability of Durum Wheat Genotypes Using Parametric and Non-Parametric Methods

Durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L.), like most other crops, is affected by various stresses. Therefore, cultivars that, in addition to the ability to produce higher yields, can maintain their yield potential in different years and locations are considered superior cultivars. In order to obtain high-yielding and stable genotypes of durum wheat, 16 lines with two control cultivars Dehdasht and Sey...
