Childhood mortality is one of the sensitive indices of health as well as development which often reflect the standard of living of a country. Moreover, it is considered as an interesting topic for researcher in Bangladesh because of high childhood mortalit mortality through from Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey (BDHS) classified by age of mothers. Moreover, it i average parities per wom...

Results obtained by the indirect zonal isotropic uniform random (IUR) estimation were compared with those obtained by the direct point and interception counting methods on vertical (VS) or IUR sections in a stereological study of bovine articular cartilage collagen fibrils at the ultrastructural level. Besides comparisons between the direct and indirect estimations (direct IUR vs indirect IUR e...

Practical estimation procedures for local linear estimation of an unrestricted failure rate when more information is available than just time are developed. This extra information could be a covariate and this covariate could be a time series. Time dependent covariates are sometimes called markers, and failure rates are sometimes called hazards, intensities or mortalities. It is shown through s...

BACKGROUND Indirect comparisons are becoming increasingly popular for evaluating medical treatments that have not been compared head-to-head in randomized clinical trials (RCTs). While indirect methods have grown in popularity and acceptance, little is known about the fragility of confidence interval estimations and hypothesis testing relying on this method. METHODS We present the findings of...

We consider the problem of nonparametric estimation of signal singularities from indirect and noisy observations. Here by singularity we mean a discontinuity (change– point) of the signal or of its derivative. The model of indirect observations we consider is that of a linear transform of the signal, observed in white noise. The estimation problem is analyzed in a minimax framework. We provide ...
