Approximate models for aggregate data when individual-level data sets are very large or unavailable.
In this article, we study a Bayesian hierarchical model for profiling health-care facilities using approximately sufficient statistics for aggregate facility-level data when the patient-level data sets are very large or unavailable. Starting with a desired patient-level model, we give several approximate models and the corresponding summary statistics necessary to implement the approximations. ...
متن کاملNonparametric Estimation When Data on Derivatives Are Available
We consider settings where data are available on a nonparametric function and various partial derivatives. Such circumstances arise in practice, for example in the joint estimation of cost and input functions in economics. We show that when derivative data are available, local averages can be replaced in certain dimensions by non-local averages, thus reducing the nonparametric dimension of the ...
متن کاملHow to apply a discrete vessel model in thermal simulations when only incomplete vessel data are available.
For accurate predictions of the temperature distribution during hyperthermia treatment a thermal model should incorporate the individual impact of discrete vessels. In clinical practice not all vessels can be reconstructed individually. This paper investigates five possible strategies to model the thermal impact of these missing vessels. A tissue volume with a detailed, realistic, counter-curre...

متن کاملA Novel Itc Approach: Matching Patient-Level Data To Study-Level Summary Means And Variances.
#1 Objectives Indirect Treatment Comparisons (ITCs) are used to contrast the effectiveness of two or more treatments, and are usually undertaken in the absence of head-to-head information1. However, these ITCs are less accurate in situations where baseline patient characteristics that are predictive of efficacy outcomes (e.g. age, disease duration) differ between studies. Any clinically meaning...
