Abstract:

"Longitudinal studies, where data is collected by measuring the same experimental units several times over a relatively long period, are becoming increasingly common. Conventional statistical approaches have limitations when applied to the analysis of longitudinal data ... Practical limitations of longitudinal analysis that relate to missing data and large data set sizes were explored in this thesis with the application of a sampling technique known as Ranked Set Sampling (RSS). We developed this sampling method, which has not previously been applied to longitudinal data, for fixed and mixed-effects models. This thesis also illustrated inference techniques to estimate these models after selecting sample units by RSS."

Abstract:

Every year in the UK, tens of thousands of hospital patients suffer adverse events, such as un-planned transfers to Intensive Therapy Units or unexpected cardiac arrests. Studies have shown that in a large majority of cases, significant physiological abnormalities can be observed within the 24-hour period preceding such events. Such warning signs may go unnoticed, if they occur between observations by the nursing staff, or are simply not identified as such. Timely detection of these warning signs and appropriate escalation schemes have been shown to improve both patient outcomes and the use of hospital resources, most notably by reducing patients’ length of stay. Automated real-time early-warning systems appear to be cost-efficient answers to the need for continuous vital-sign monitoring. Traditionally, a limitation of such systems has been their sensitivity to noisy and artefactual measurements, resulting in false-alert rates that made them unusable in practice, or earned them the mistrust of clinical staff. Tarassenko et al. (2005) and Hann (2008) proposed a novelty detection approach to the problem of continuous vital-sign monitoring, which, in a clinical trial, was shown to yield clinically acceptable false alert rates. In this approach, an observation is compared to a data fusion model, and its “normality” assessed by comparing a chosen statistic to a pre-set threshold. The method, while informed by large amounts of training data, has a number of heuristic aspects. This thesis proposes a principled approach to multivariate novelty detection in stochastic time- series, where novelty scores have a probabilistic interpretation, and are explicitly linked to the starting assumptions made. Our approach stems from the observation that novelty detection using complex multivariate, multimodal generative models is generally an ill-defined problem when attempted in the data space. In situations where “novel” is equivalent to “improbable with respect to a probability distribution ”, formulating the problem in a univariate probability space allows us to use classical results of univariate statistical theory. Specifically, we propose a multivariate extension to extreme value theory and, more generally, order statistics, suitable for performing novelty detection in time-series generated from a multivariate, possibly multimodal model. All the methods introduced in this thesis are applied to a vital-sign monitoring problem and compared to the existing method of choice. We show that it is possible to outperform the existing method while retaining a probabilistic interpretation. In addition to their application to novelty detection for vital-sign monitoring, contributions in this thesis to existing extreme value theory and order statistics are also valid in the broader context of data-modelling, and may be useful for analysing data from other complex systems.

Abstract:

The research presented in this thesis is two-fold: on the one hand, major data mining problems are reformulated as mathematical programming problems. These problems should be carefully designed, since from their formulation depends the efficiency, perhaps the existence, of the solvers. On the other hand, optimisation methods are adapted to solve these problems, most of which are nonsmooth and nonconvex. This part is delicate, as the solution is often required to be good and obtained fast. Numerical experiments on real-world datasets are presented and analysed.

Abstract:

Objective: The Affordable Care Act (ACA) has influenced increasing interests in population health and population health outcomes. The purpose of this study was to exemplify the importance of using existing vital statistics data for understanding and monitoring health outcomes and consequentially health disparities at the population level. Data from birth records for two geographic regions from 2009-2014 were compared; low birth weight (LBW) and preterm delivery (PD) were used as surrogates for population health outcomes. Methods: A population-based, multi-year, cross-sectional study design using a pooled dataset of birth records from Tennessee (TN) was the framework for the analyses. A sub-population from North East TN (NE TN) was compared to TN. Logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratios. Attributable risks were calculated to translate the findings from conditional associations to population-level associations to help inform public health policy decision-making. Results: Using birth records (vital statistics), we demonstrated that the period prevalence of cigarette smoking before and during pregnancy remained unchanged with approximately one in three women in NE TN (from 37% in 2009 to 32% in 2014) and one in five women in TN (from 23% in 2009 to 20% in 2014) reporting smoking pre-pregnancy. Multivariate analyses demonstrated that mothers who were at each end of the age spectrum, of very low household income level and reported cigarette smoking pre-pregnancy or during pregnancy had increased risk of a LBW or PD infant. During the years of observation, 39 to 50% of the total incidence of LBW in the group of women who smoked cigarettes prior to pregnancy was attributable to smoking cigarettes. Conclusions: Existing data, such as vital statistics data, should be used routinely to identify geographic areas for which programs or policies can be implemented to reach large portions of populations. Reducing prenatal smoking, for example, has the potential to reduce a large fraction of adverse birth outcomes such as LBW and PD. For the geographic area we evaluated, 39 to 50% of LBW could be prevented by devising population-based smoking cessation programs or policies for women of child-bearing age. With recent emphasis on prevention and well-baby care in the ACA, there is potential to increase attention to this problem, implement evidence-based prevention programs and monitor program effectiveness with existing birth record data. Following this model, we can attain population health goals and address health disparities.

Abstract:

Immigrant flows in Greece after 1990 transformed Greece from a country of outwards migration to an inwards migration state. The contribution of immigrants in a globalized world of migration with sub-replacement fertility levels found in developed countries is a particularly interesting topic in demographic studies. The primary aim of this thesis is to discuss the changes of the demographic and socio-economic characteristics of immigrant population in Greece focusing on Albanian and Bulgarian immigrants. In order to answer these research questions, data from the last three national population census of 1991, 2001 and 2011 as well as vital statistics for European and non-European immigrants’ fertility in Greece have been used. The analysis is based on descriptive statistics for the differential age structure of Greek population and immigrant groups. Reasons for immigration to Greece, educational attainment of immigrants, rates of unemployment and employment status of immigrant population have been used to approach the research questions. The results indicated a younger age structure of Albanian and Bulgarian immigrant population. Meanwhile, immigrant population appears to have higher unemployment rates compared to native Greek population. Finally, a substantial decline of general fertility rates for non-European immigrant women in Greece compared to native Greek women has been observed within the years of the economic recession.

Abstract:

Multivariate statistical methods, including recent computing-intensive techniques, are explained and applied in a medical sociology context to study infant death in relation to socioeconomic risk factors of households in Sri Lankan villages. The data analyzed were collected by a team of social scientists who interviewed households in Sri Lanka during 1980-81. Researchers would like to identify characteristics (risk factors) distinguishing those households at relatively high or low risk of experiencing an infant death. Furthermore, they would like to model temporal and structural relationships among important risk factors. Similar statistical issues and analyses are relevant to many sociological and epidemiological studies. Results from such studies may be useful to health promotion or preventive medicine program planning. With respect to an outcome such as infant death, risk groups and discriminating factors or variables can be identified using a variety of statistical discriminant methods, including Fisher's parametric (normal) linear discriminant, logistic linear discrimination, and recursive partitioning (CART). The usefulness of a particular discriminant methodology may depend on distributional properties of the data (whether the variables are dichotomous, ordinal, normal, etc.,) and also on the context and objectives of the analysis. There are at least three conceptual approaches to statistical studies of risk factors. An epidemiological perspective uses the notion of relative risk. A second approach, generally referred to as classification or discriminant analysis, is to predict a dichotomous outcome, or class membership. A third approach is to estimate the probability of each outcome, or of belonging to each class. These three approaches are discussed and compared; and appropriate methods are applied to the Sri Lankan household data. Path analysis is a standard method used to investigate causal relationships among variables in the social sciences. However, the normal multiple regression assumptions under which this method is developed are very restrictive. In this thesis, limitations of path analysis are explored, and alternative loglinear techniques are considered.

Abstract:

The study sample was comprised of 18,953 subjects aged 18 years and older who participated in the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Preference for diet soda over regular soda was higher in females as compared to males and in Caucasians as compared to other races. Mean alcohol consumption was almost three times higher in males than in females. Undiagnosed hypertension was more common in males than in females, in 65-90 than in 50-64 year olds, and in people with less than high school education compared to those with higher education. Diastolic pressure was correlated with the level of consumption of diet soda, coffee, tea, and alcohol. Diet soda and alcohol consumption had a statistically significant positive relationship with hypertension even after adjusting for demographic variables and body mass index. The study provides useful information of the patterns of beverage uses and the prevalence of hypertension in the United States.

Simo, Beatrice. "Epidemic of Lung Cancer or Artifact of Classification in the State of Kentucky?" Digital Commons @ East Tennessee State University, 2007. https://dc.etsu.edu/etd/2158.

Abstract:

Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States despite public health campaigns aimed at reducing its rate of mortality. Kentucky is the state with the highest lung cancer incidence and mortality. This study aims to assess the impact of misclassification of cause of death from Lung Cancer in Kentucky for the period 1979 to 2002. We will examine the potential competing classification of death for two other smoking-related diseases, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and Emphysema. Age-adjusted mortality rates for these diseases for white males were obtained from the National Center for Health Statistics. There was little evidence that any misclassification between COPD or Emphysema mortality rates was in agreement with the rising lung cancer rates in Kentucky. The long-term increase in lung cancer mortality in Kentucky is likely because of a combination of risk effects between smoking and other risk-factors for this disease.

Abstract:

There are far reaching changes occurring in the information industry, including the world of official statistics. The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) is planning to put the user at the centre by giving to them a chance to speak directly with our data. Our catch cry has become ‘freedom to share data will make data more valuable – but only if it’s managed differently.’ The ABS mission is “We assist and encourage informed decision-making, research and discussion within governments and the community, by providing a high quality, objective and responsive national statistical service.” Informed decision making presupposes a level of statistical ability which we know needs development within the Australian community. The ABS has an important leadership role in improving the statistical capability and literacy of our current and future customers. Our statistical output and communication strategy is vital to achieve the aspirational goal of a citizenry that uses statistics to make sensible, informed decisions, whatever their job, community or situation. This paper outlines some aspects of the ABS output and communication strategy, how it has changed and how the strategy increasingly supports a diverse range of customers and their requirements. The paper finishes by examining a range of innovative ABS outputs that have a stronger focus on building statistical capability in communities with lower statistical literacy, such as our youth community.

Abstract:

Questions of ethnic identity in multicultural societies are of particular importance today and are reflected in various ethnostatistical and ethnodemographic studies. In addition to the population census, an equally important source of data for ethnodemographic research is the vital statistics that has been recorded in Serbia since the first half of the 19th century, but the distribution of data by nationality has only been available since the 1950s. In the post-war period, vital statistics underwent methodological changes, particularly between 1965 and 1970, when the publication of vital events by nationality was suspended, making it difficult to study the demographics of those ethnic groups that experienced negative natural increase for the first time during this period. The second problem is related to the application of subjective criteria in the ethnic declaration of vital events, which directly causes a statistical discrepancy between the declared ethnic identity of the mother at birth and the statement of the death reporter of the same person. This phenomenon is especially pronounced in statistically variable (floating) ethnic groups whose population size fluctuates due to their frequent change of attitude when stating their own ethnic identity in official statistics. Therefore, in this paper we will focus on the study of the quality of ethnostatistical data of vital statistics using the example of a comparative analysis of selected mortality indicators according to the period 1970-2020 which directly influenced the pronounced fluctuations in the dynamics of the natural movement of certain ethnic groups. This will show whether vital statistics data can be accepted and used without restriction as a quantitative basis for demographic and other research.

Abstract:

There has been much interest within the scientific community to use the potential of new technol- ogies for teaching since they have become widely available. We will deal with two questions: What has emerged out of e-learning endeavours? What are vital issues for their success? The specific situation for learners within an e-learning setting will be analysed in the light of two “events”: First, the general discussion of the impact of technology on teaching at the ISI con- gress in Lisboa in 2007, and second, a series of papers on blended learning in the International Statistical Review published in the same year. Our long-term experience with a blended learning course on introductory statistics for business students will serve as background to respond to key questions for the success of e-learning. As an interactive exchange of feedback between students and staff has proved to be essential in the evaluation of our course, this paper gives support for blended learning enrichment of courses to assist the students in their learning process.

Full text

Abstract:

Meta-analysis is the quantitative integration of empirical studies that address the same or similar issues. It is usually the best way to draw research-based conclusions that can guide evidence-based practice by professionals, and evidence-based decision making by public policy makers. Meta-analysis is so important that students should learn about it very early in their statistics education. The close links between meta-analysis and practical conclusions drawn from bodies of research mean that meta-analysis is a vital element in outreach from statistics education. I describe software that uses forest plots to make the basic ideas of meta-analysis accessible, and my experience using it with beginning students. I use the software to illustrate two major models for meta-analysis, and introduce graphical extensions to forest plots that illustrate how the crucial topic of moderator analysis can be explained and, in simple cases, interpreted visually.

Abstract:

For decades, the course on economic statistics has been a vital part of the curriculum at the University of Ljubljana’s Faculty of Economics. The course aims (1) to deepen students’ understanding of the use of statistical information in decision-making processes at all society levels, and (2) to teach students how to find relevant statistical data and to use them appropriately in the statistical analysis of economic, business and social problems. Implementation of these objectives relies heavily on the use of real-life data, mostly available from official statistics. The advent of electronic data media (particularly Internet) opened new perspectives and approaches to realisation of the course objectives. The paper outlines and evaluates the evolution of teaching methods used in the course in the last decade, ranging from the use of a stand-alone CD-ROM ten years ago, to integration of Internet as an inherent part of the course through diverse applications (an on-line textbook, e-research seminars, e-assignments, etc.). Based on this experience, the purpose of the paper is to discuss the current position of economic statistics as a university course, and its potential role in the knowledge society.

Abstract:

In the first session of the school year, the researcher faced this question by a student: 'why can't we learn mathematics and statistics while we can succeed in other subject matters with little amount of effort?' Of course, facing such a question was not beyond expectation; many students in Iran and other countries may ask such a question. Skamp (1976), Serpinka (1998), Freudental (1982) support this point. Based on his experience, the researcher considered Skamp's theoretical framework on schemata, and learning in structuralist viewpoint as suitable to account for this question. The student's role is regarded as vital. The research findings were put into practice in the class by the researcher, which yielded satisfactory results. The present study first gives a discussion on the students' meaningful theoretical infrastructure of the mathematical knowledge, then presents the research results.

Abstract:

In response to the challenge of implementing a new Statistics and Probability course for senior high school in the Philippines, we developed curriculum resource materials in a course disk anchored on inquiry-based constructivist pedagogy using real data about the youth sector. Offical youth statistics and data from various surveys about the youth were used to provide the database for teaching-learning and assessment activities that build students’ conceptual understanding of random variables, probability and sampling distributions, the Central Limit Theorem, and the inferential methods of parameter estimation and hypothesis testing. With the twin goal of promoting statistical literacy and understanding the dynamics of the youth population, the activities provide the learners the opportunity to raise their social consciousness on the vital role of the youth sector in society. This paper describes some of these activities and their databases.

Abstract:

The International Conference On Teaching Statistics [ICOTS] is held every four years. Its main purpose is to give statistics educators and professionals around the world the opportunity to exchange information, ideas and experiences, by presenting recent innovation and research in statistics education. ICOTS also allows people to expand their range of collaborators. We are at a critical time in statistics education where the world of data is changing rapidly. We need to be looking ahead to how as a field we will evolve and engage with the future. At the same time, we are celebrating our tenth ICOTS and this marks a time for us to look back on the past 40 years since 1978, when the ISI’s Education Committee Task Force was established to plan for the first ICOTS. This is indeed an exciting time. Statistics education has matured as a field. Data have become part of everyday life, vital for professions and part of our very fabric as a society. Data are used everywhere to document, evaluate, plan and persuade. The very nature of what we call “data” is not what it was 10 years ago – or even last year. Data science is emerging as a new field. Yet, it is not clear if statistics and data science are moving together or apart. Both areas focus on variability, uncertainty and context, but often approach the analysis and collection of data quite differently. In terms of education, what can the fields learn from each other? Where do we see ourselves going?

Abstract:

Problem of international migration evidence and statistics in Serbia is well known by far. Migration balance is calculated for entire intercensal period by vital statistics method. Values gained in such a way aren’t specified by age and generation, thus can be tracked only by period. In the other hand, mirror statistics doesn't provide much more than a crude migration balance estimation. In this article we will try to estimate migration balance by age and by cohort. Based on data on vital events and census data we will calculate migration balance, and all the indicators related to it. Analysis is covering the period from 1981. to 2022. and is related to the total population of Serbia. We will also analyse possible differences between generations and periods by statistical analysis. Such methodologically uncommon approach will give us valuable information about age-specific time-trends in migration of population in Serbia. Period effect should reveal are there any differences between pre-crisis (1981-1991) and post-crisis (2002-2022) period in the level of migration, cohort effect should reveal are there significant differences in international spatial mobility between generations, and, in the end, age effect should prove well known pattern of migration selectivity. Results should be applicable mostly in formulating assumptions about future migrations and theirs age-specific influence on total population of Serbia. Similar approach could be used for all lower territorial levels where data are available. Significance of knowing migration in detail is higher for demographic development in lower territorial units, so this procedure could find its application particularly in population projections of subnational level.

Abstract:

This paper sets forth a theoretical discussion of a number of specific benefits that can arise through the expansion of civil registration and vital statistics (CRVS) as a way to improve public sector management. It posits that CRVS can be the main source of information to improve policy planning and coordination, as well as increasing transparency and preventing corruption and fraud, among other key features of public sector management. CRVS may supplement the census and other conventional instruments for collecting personal and demographic information on society. The paper also discusses practical ways to maximize the benefits of CRVS and the potential value of civil registration by opening a discussion on the costs and benefits of an expanded utilization of CRVS.
