چکیده

In Section 1 and 2 of this supplementary material, we present details of the algorithms of the developed approach. In Section 3, we present construction of the confidence intervals continuing our discussion in Section 5 of the manuscript. In Section 4, we give extra plots and tables mentioned in Section 4 of the manuscript. At last in Section 5, we provide instructions for using the R code for our approach; the R code is provided in a separate file in the Supplementary Material. ∗= These authors contributed equally to this work.

Efficient estimation of the attributable fraction when there are monotonicity constraints and interactions.

The PAF for an exposure is the fraction of disease cases in a population that can be attributed to that exposure. One method of estimating the PAF involves estimating the probability of having the disease given the exposure and confounding variables. In many settings, the exposure will interact with the confounders and the confounders will interact with each other. Also, in many settings, the p...

Estimation of Returns to Scale in the Presence of Undesirable (bad) Outputs in DEA when the Firm is Regulated

The calculation of RTS amounts to measuring a relationship between inputs and outputs in a production structure. There are many methods to measure RTS in the primal space or the dual space. One of the main approaches is using the multiplier on the convexity constraint. But returns to scale measurements in DEA models are affected by the presence of regulatory constraints. These additional constr...

Attributable fractions for sufficient cause interactions.

A number of results concerning attributable fractions for sufficient cause interactions are given. Results are given both for etiologic fractions (i.e. the proportion of the disease due to a particular sufficient cause) and for excess fractions (i.e. the proportion of disease that could be eliminated by removing a particular sufficient cause). Results are given both with and without assumptions...

تاثیر چاقی، چاقی شکمی و اثر توام هر دو عامل در افزایش فشارخون مردان استان مازندران (مطالعه کسر منتسب به جمعیت): گزارش کوتاه

Background: Hypertension is one of the most important chronic illness worldwide and one the major risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. Obesity and abdominal obesity are risk factors for high blood pressure. Population attributable fraction (PAF) answers the question of how much of the disease burden in a certain population may be reduced if a risk factor like obesity is removed from the po...
