Longitudinal studies of family units.
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper the transmission of illness and illness behaviour from grandparents to their children and grandchildren is discussed. Maternal grandmothers are found to have most influence. Some prediction of the frequency of new periods of illness among the grandchildren was possible by making use of the number of nervous disorders of the grandparents for which medical help was requested. As family doctors, general practitioners are in a favourable position to anticipate and try to prevent the transmission of inadequate illness behaviour from generation to generation.

Background & Objectives : Longitudinal studies are used in many psychiatric researches to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment. The main characteristic of longitudinal studies is repeated measurements of the patients over time. Since observations from the same patient are not independent from each other, especial statistical methods must be used for analyzing the data. Missing data is an i...

In this paper, the problem of predicting times to failure of units censored in multiple stages of progressively hybrid censoring for the proportional hazards family is considered. We discuss different classical predictors. The best unbiased predictor ($BUP$), the maximum likelihood predictor ($MLP$) and conditional median predictor ($CMP$) are all derived. As an example, the obtained results ar...

Background: The defining characteristic of a longitudinal study is that subjects are measured repeatedly through time. Longitudinal studies are in contrast to cross-sectional studies, in which a single outcome is measured for each individual. The primary objective of this study is to use copulas to model the within-subject dependencies over time. Methods: In this longitudinal study, we used the...
