Abstract:
Regression models are routinely used in many applied sciences for describing the relationship between a response variable and an independent variable. Statistical inferences on the regression parameters are often performed using the maximum likelihood estimators (MLE). In the case of nonlinear models the standard errors of MLE are often obtained by linearizing the nonlinear function around the true parameter and by appealing to large sample theory. In this article we demonstrate, through computer simulations, that the resulting asymptotic Wald confidence intervals cannot be trusted to achieve

The response of an organism to a chemical depends, among other things, on the dose. Nonlinear dose-response relationships occur across a broad range of research fields, and are a well established tool to describe the basic mechanisms of phytotoxicity. The responses of plants to allelochemicals as biosynthesized phytotoxins, relate as well to nonlinearity and, thus, allelopathic effects can be adequately quantified by nonlinear mathematical modeling. The current paper applies the concept of nonlinearity to assorted aspects of allelopathy within several bioassays and reveals their analysis by no

Abstract:
Quantile regression is widely used to estimate conditional quantiles of an outcome variable of interest given covariates. This method can estimate one quantile at a time without imposing any constraints on the quantile process other than the linear combination of covariates and parameters specified by the regression model. While this is a flexible modeling tool, it generally yields erratic estimates of conditional quantiles and regression coefficients. Recently, parametric models for the regression coefficients have been proposed that can help balance bias and sampling variability. So far, how

Purpose. To determine whether hypertriglyceridemic waist (HTGW) and high lipid accumulation product (LAP) preceded the incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and to investigate the interactions of HTGW and LAP with other components of metabolic syndrome on the risk of T2DM. Methods. A total of 15,717 eligible participants without baseline T2DM and aged 35 and over were included from a Chinese rural cohort. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to estimate the association of HTGW and LAP with the incidence of T2DM, and the restricted cubic spline model was used to evaluate

Abstract:
The rising prevalence of overweight and obesity is partly due to nutrition transition. The reported association between dietary patterns and overweight/obesity has been controversial because of inconsistent results and weak observed associations. Although it has been hypothesized that an unhealthy diet can increase obesity risk, none of the previous studies have examined the dose–response association using nonlinear dose–response analyses. This study aimed to examine the dose–response association between major dietary patterns and overweight/obesity. This was a cross-sectional study involving

In this article, we exploit the adaptive properties of wavelets to develop some procedures for testing the equality of nonlinear and nonparametric mean response curves which are assumed by an experimenter to be the underlying functions generating several groups of data with possibly hetereoscedastic errors. The essential feature of the techniques is the transformation of the problem from the domain of the input variable to the wavelet domain through an orthogonal discrete wavelet transformation or a multiresolution expansion.

Abstract:
Vasoconstriction via α2-receptors is known to be sensitive to acidic pH, but little is known about the pH sensitivity of P2X receptors. ATP is a cotransmitter released with norepinephrine from the sympathetic nerves and causes vasoconstriction via P2X purinergic receptors on vascular smooth muscle. We hypothesized that reductions in pH would attenuate P2X-mediated vasoconstriction in iliofemoral artery rings. Twenty-five rats were killed, and the iliac and femoral arteries were dissected out and placed in modified Krebs-Henseleit buffer. The arteries were cut into 2-mm sections and mounted in
