Generalized linear mixed models (GLMMs) enjoy increasing popularity because of their ability to model correlated observations. Integrated nested Laplace approximations (INLAs) provide a fast implementation of the Bayesian approach to GLMMs. However, sensitivity to prior assumptions on the random effects precision parameters is a potential problem. To quantify the sensitivity to prior assumption...

This paper considers the problem of synthesizing the finite-word-length (FWL) two-dimensional (2-D) state-space filter structures with minimum weighted sensitivity. Two kinds of frequency-weighted sensitivity measures, one based on a mixture of L1=L2 norms and the other a pure L2 norm, are defined in place of the usual sensitivity measure and an upper bound expressed in terms of 2-D weighted Gr...

Objective. The paper introduced the concept of narrative sensitivity. study aimed to identify facets sensitivity (NS) in medical students and assess changes NS during undergraduate education.Methods. A mixed-method was designed explore NS. Data collected from a group their second year (N=50) then fifth (N=42) education. data analysed using thematic analysis accordance with consensual qualitativ...

The main purpose of this paper is to investigate some kinds of nonlinear complementarity problems (NCP). For the structured tensors, such as, symmetric positive definite tensors and copositive tensors, we derive the existence theorems on a solution of these kinds of nonlinear complementarity problems. We prove that a unique solution of the NCP exists under the condition of diagonalizable tensors.
