AIMS To characterize the effect of sacral neuromodulation (SNM) on urethral neuromuscular function. METHODS Following IRB approval, women with refractory overactive bladder (OAB) underwent standardized urethral testing prior to and after Stage 1 SNM implantation. Periurethral sensation was measured using current perception thresholds (CPT). Striated urethral sphincter activity was quantified ...

We study dark energy through the viewpoints of parametric and nonparametric analyses late-time cosmological data. consider four Hubble parameter priors reflecting tension make use two phenomenological functions, namely, a normalized density compactified equation state. predict shape both functions present new constraints on The results hint at evolution regardless choice method priors. fact tha...

High and stabile yield in different production environments is priority maize breeding. New statistical methods are constantly being sought to accompany analysis of variance, order achieve more reliable hybrid assessment. In this study nonparametric stability applied assess GxE interaction for 36 commercial hybrids. The experiment was set up at five locations Serbia three years according the Ra...

We consider the problem of multistep-ahead prediction in time series analysis by using nonparametric smoothing techniques. Forecasting is always one of the main objectives in time series analysis. Research has shown that non-linear time series models have certain advantages in multistep-ahead forecasting. Traditionally, nonparametric k-step-ahead least squares prediction for non-linear autoregr...
