BACKGROUND Under-utilization of mental health services is a global health issue. Recognition of mental disorders, as the first step to seeking help from professional sources, has been well studied in developed countries, yet little is known about the situation in rural areas of developing countries like China. The purpose of the study is to understand the recognition of depression, anxiety, and...

This is the vignette of the Bioconductor add-on package IPPD which implements automatic isotopic pattern extraction from a raw protein mass spectrum. Basically, the user only has to provide mass/charge channels and corresponding intensities, which are automatically decomposed into a list of monoisotopic peaks. IPPD can handle several charge states as well as overlaps of peak patterns. 1 Aims an...

Given multiple longitudinal time series we are often interested in quantifying the relationship between the time series over time. For example, given fMRI data corresponding to various regions of interest in the brain we may be interested in measuring their statistical dependencies over time. These relationships can subsequently be summarised as graphs or networks where each node corresponds to...

The package GeneGeneInteR aims at providing a collection of statistical methods to search for interaction between genes in case-control association studies. These methods are dedicated to the analysis of biallelic SNPs (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) genotype data. This vignette describes the complete analysis pipeline of a set of k > 2 genes, going from data importation to results visualizati...

This is a vignette for the R package CARBayes version 4, and is an updated version of a paper in the Journal of Statistical Software in 2013 Volume 55 Issue 13 with the same title and author. This vignette is required because CARBayes has been updated both in terms of syntax and functionality since the paper appeared in the Journal of Statistical Software.

This is a vignette for the R package CARBayes version 4.1, and is an updated version of a paper in the Journal of Statistical Software in 2013 Volume 55 Issue 13 by the same author. This vignette describes the class of models that can be implemented in CARBayes, and gives 3 worked examples of spatial data analysis using the package.

BACKGROUND Antibiotic overuse causes antibiotic resistance, one of the most important threats to human health. Older adults, particularly those in nursing homes, often receive antibiotics when they are not indicated. METHODS To understand knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of nursing home (NH) nurses and community-dwelling older adults towards antibiotic use, especially in clinical situation...
