background: the pabon lasso model was  applied to assess the performance of six state-run hospitals in the province of kohgilooyeh & boyer-ahmad, to produce information that used by policy makers in their attempt to make the health care sys­tem more productive. methods: this cross-sectional study involved all the six public hospitals in the province, with 607 registered beds. data collec­tion a...

BACKGROUND One of the most important and useful models for assessing hospital performance is the Pabon Lasso Model, a graphical model that determines the relative performance of hospitals using three indicators: 1. Bed Occupancy Rate (BOR); 2. Bed Turnover (BTO); 3) Average Length of Stay (ALS). The aim of this research is to investigate the performance of the hospitals affiliated with Urmia Un...

Due to the multiple loci control nature of complex phenotypes, there is great interest to test markers simultaneously instead of one by one. In this paper, we compare three model selection methods for genome wide association studies using simulations: the Stochastic Search Variable Selection (SSVS), the Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) and the Elastic Net. We also apply t...
