Abstract:
Statistical methods for spatial health data to identify the significant covariates associated with the health outcomes are of critical importance. Most studies have developed variable selection approaches in which the covariates included appear within the spatial domain and their effects are fixed across space. However, the impact of covariates on health outcomes may change across space and ignoring this behavior in spatial epidemiology may cause the wrong interpretation of the relations. Thus, the development of a statistical framework for spatial variable selection is important to allow for

Background Low birth weight is a significant risk factor associated with high rates of neonatal and infant mortality, particularly in developing countries. However, most studies conducted on this topic in Ethiopia have small sample sizes, often focusing on specific areas and using standard models employing maximum likelihood estimation, leading to potential bias and inaccurate coverage probability.

Understanding the spatial variability in highly heterogeneous natural environments such as savannas and river corridors is an important issue in characterizing and modeling energy fluxes, particularly for evapotranspiration (ET) estimates.

However, the application of these models in natural environments is challenging due to spatial heterogeneity in vegetation cover and complexity in

Latent Markov Models (LMMs) are a particular class of statistical models in which a latent process is assumed. LMMs allow for the analysis of longitudinal data when the response variables measure common characteristics of interest, which are not directly observable. In LMMs the characteristics of interest, and their evolution in time, are represented by a latent process that follows a first order discrete Markov chain and units are allowed to change latent state over time. In studying LMMs, it is important to distinguish between two components: the measurement model, i.e. the conditional dist

Sample surveys are widely used as a cost-effective way to collect information on variables of interest in target populations. In applications, we are generally interested in parameters such as population means, totals, and quantiles. Similar parameters for subpopulations or areas, formed by geographic areas and socio-demographic groups, are also of interest in applications. However, the sample size might be small or even zero in subpopulations due to the probability sampling and the budget limitation.

The demand for reliable small area estimates derived from survey data has increased greatly in recent years due to, among other things, their growing use in formulating policies and programs, allocation of government funds, regional planning, small area business decisions and other applications. Traditional area-specific (direct) estimates may not provide acceptable precision for small areas because sample sizes are seldom large enough in many small areas of interest.

The pooling procedures allow individual areas to “borrow strength” from each other to desirably improve the estimation.

We review the small-area selection model (SSM) in NC which is able to incorporate the non-identifiability. Moreover, the proposed SSM, together with the indi

Because of the need to consider viscous flow (or even 'slightly viscous flow') to correctly model roll damping phenomena, there is still some way to go before an adequate numerical model of the hydrodynamics of roll is forthcoming.
