In a regression model, the joint distribution for each finite sample of units is determined by a function px.y/ depending only on the list of covariate values xD .x.u1/,. . .,x.un// on the sampled units. No random sampling of units is involved. In biological work, random sampling is frequently unavoidable, in which case the joint distribution p.y,x/ depends on the sampling scheme. Regression mo...

The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of morphological changes of the condyle (Sclerosis) in patients with Temporomandibular Disorder.We have developed a retrospective epidemiological study using medical records of 1000 clinical data forms, with their respective exams (working models in type III dental stone plaster and planigraphy of TMJ) from patients who sought care at the De...

We discuss a model-robust theory for general types of regression in the simplest case of iid observations. The theory replaces the parameters of parametric models with statistical functionals, to be called “regression functionals” and defined on large non-parametric classes of joint x-y distributions without assuming a working model. Examples of regression functionals are the slopes of OLS line...

This study present electromyographic (EMG) signal to torque model and investigates the effects of various factors on EMG signal and EMG to torque model. Pre-processing techniques are applied on EMG signal in order to remove the DC offset, 60 Hz noise and to estimate the EMG amplitude. The estimated EMG amplitude is then mapped to joint torque using a new non-linear equation. This equation uses ...

OBJECTIVE To investigate clinical and radiological differences between joint destruction in the wrist and the feet in patients with RA. METHODS A cross-sectional clinical study was conducted in an RA cohort at a single institution. Clinical data included age, sex and duration of disease. Laboratory data included sero-positivity for anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP) antibody and RF. Radi...

Joint saliency map (JSM) [1] was developed to assign high joint saliency values to the corresponding saliency structures (called Joint Saliency Structures, JSSs) but zero or low joint saliency values to the outliers (or mismatches) that are introduced by missing correspondence or local large deformations between the reference and moving images to be registered. JSM guides the local structure ma...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to investigate whether uncovertebral joint ossification was a risk factor for axial symptoms (AS) after cervical disc arthroplasty (CDA). METHODS This retrospective study included 52 consecutive patients who underwent CDA for single-level cervical disc disease. To examine possible risk factors for AS after CDA, univariate and multivariate logistic regr...

background: there is little information about blood supply of the carpal joint in one- humped camel, while there is extensive data about cow and equine species. in order to perform surgeries and diagnostic techniques in carpal region, information about the elements of the joint such as its arteries is necessary. objectives: this study aims at describing the origins, arrangements, and branches o...

Various peripheral receptors provide information concerning position and movement to the central nervous system to achieve complex and dexterous movements of forelimbs in primates. The response properties of single afferent receptors to movements at a single joint have been examined in detail, but the population coding of peripheral afferents remains poorly defined. In this study, we obtained m...
