BACKGROUND. In many studies with longitudinal data, time-dependent covariates can only be measured intermittently (not at all observation times), and this presents difficulties for standard statistical analyses. This situation is common in medical studies, and methods that deal with this challenge would be useful. METHODS. In this study, we performed the seemingly unrelated regression (SUR) bas...

Plant receptor-like kinases characterised by leucine-rich repeats have been shown to play dual roles in seemingly unrelated biological processes, inviting comparison with TOLL-like receptors of animals.

The goal of this work is to study the large sample properties of the posterior-based inference in the curved exponential family under increasing dimension. The curved structure arises from the imposition of various restrictions, such as moment restrictions, on the model, and plays a fundamental role in various branches of data analysis. We establish conditions under which the posterior distribu...

In this paper, we modify the Harris-Todaro model of migration to incorporate the impact of human capital, housing stock and the availability of publicly provided goods like health care and road provision in order to analyse the determinants of migration in different regions of Poland. We apply the Seemingly Unrelated Regression Equation [SURE] model to investigate the data. Our results show tha...

The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate models for predicting the carcass composition of lambs. Forty male lambs of two different breeds were included in our analysis. The lambs were slaughtered and their hot carcass weight was obtained. After cooling for 24 hours, the subcutaneous fat thickness was measured between the 12th and 13th rib and the total breast bone tissue thickness was ...

The purpose of this paper is to examine the role of alignment in the verbal system of Modern Hebrew (MH). Certain phenomena within the verbal system of MH involve interaction between morphological and phonological processes. I will show that two seemingly unrelated phenomena, namely the shape of the outputs of verb formation processes on the one hand, and stress alternations on the other hand, ...

This work studies the large sample properties of the posterior-based inference in the curved exponential family under increasing dimension. The curved structure arises from the imposition of various restrictions on the model, such as moment restrictions, and plays a fundamental role in econometrics and others branches of data analysis. We establish conditions under which the posterior distribut...
