This study revisits the widely researched area of consumption function using Bayesian Model Averaging (BMA) for a panel EU countries to deal with uncertainty potential determinants, convergence club analysis construct homogeneous groups by income. BMA suggests that income is only variable found be strong determinant across different country groups, whereas other variables have varying importanc...

BACKGROUND Estimation of plasma cell infiltrates in bone marrow aspirates (BMA) and bone marrow biopsy (BMB) is a standard method in the diagnosis and monitoring of multiple myeloma (MM). Plasma cell fraction in the bone marrow is therefore critical for the classification and optimal clinical management of patients with plasma cell dyscrasias. The aim of the study was to compare the percentage ...

This thesis is a comprehensive comparative study of survival analysis methods, in particular the application of the Cox Proportional Hazards (CPH) model to real life data: A data set with 48 right-censored (end of study) patients suffering from multiple myeloma, and the COpenhagen Stroke study (COST) database with 993 right-censored (10 year follow-up) stroke patients. The most frequently appli...

OBJECTIVE To demonstrate an application of Bayesian model averaging (BMA) with generalised additive mixed models (GAMM) and provide a novel modelling technique to assess the association between inhalable coarse particles (PM10) and respiratory mortality in time-series studies. DESIGN A time-series study using regional death registry between 2009 and 2010. SETTING 8 districts in a large metr...

Although many studies measure the abundance of benthic microalgae (BMA), at the meters squared scale, comparing these studies is difficult due to the variety of sampling, extraction, and analysis techniques. This difficulty is exacerbated by the fact that BMA abundance has high spatial and temporal variability, at all spatial scales. A suitable standard sampling regimen would reduce variation i...
