Background—Inappropriate and unnecessary implantable cardioverter-defibrillator shocks continue to be highly prevalent. Methods and Results—We prospectively evaluated a new algorithm for discriminating supraventricular (SVT) and ventricular (VT) tachycardias with 1:1 atrioventricular association that is based on the response of the arrhythmia to simultaneous or convergent dual-chamber antitachy...

In the present paper a mixed approach is proposed for the simulta neously estimation of regression and correlation structure parameters in multivariate probit models using generalized estimating equations for the former and pseudo score equations for the latter The nite sample proper ties of the corresponding estimators are compared to estimators proposed by Qu Williams Beck and Medendorp and Q...

in this paper a numerical method for solving forth order fuzzy dierentialequations under generalized differentiability is proposed. this method is basedon the interpolating a solution by piecewise polynomial of degree 8 in the rangeof solution . we investigate the existence and uniqueness of solutions. finally anumerical example is presented to illustrate the accuracy of the new technique.

A parameter in a statistical model is identified if its value can be uniquely determined from the distribution of the observable data. We consider the context of an instrumental variable analysis with a binary outcome for estimating a causal risk ratio. The semiparametric generalized method of moments and structural mean model frameworks use estimating equations for parameter estimation. In thi...
