A meta-analysis of randomized head-to-head trials https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:106 Wed 11 Apr 2018 12:13:04 AEST ]]> Fitting the 4-parameter lineal basis model https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:12024 i, yi} there is a corresponding "generating" point {Xi, Yi}, which lies on the Lineal Basis. The difference vector between an {Xi, Yi} and its corresponding {xi, yi} is modelled as a sample from a bivariate distribution which here is taken as a product of two independent Beta[α,β] distributions, using the notation Beta[αX, βX]xBeta[αY, βY]. Further, we will allow αX, βX, αY, and βY to vary with s, i.e., we have four functions αX[s, ...], βX[s, ...], αY[s, ...], and βY[s, ...]. Since the mean of the Beta[α, β] distribution is α / (α + β), the parameters of these four function must be such that for a given s, the joint Beta-Beta mean point {αX[s, ...] / (αX[s, ...] + βX[s, ...]), αY[s, ...] / (αY[s, ...] + βY[s, ...]) lies on the Lineal Basis. It turns out that simple linear functions suffice to fit many of the data sets typically encountered in these bounded spaces. Interesting computational issues arise when constructing the "mean prediction region" and the "single prediction region" for a Lineal Basis model, analogous to the "mean prediction bands" and the"single prediction bands" of simple linear regression. Concepts from computational geometry are employed, and in particular the logic of a key calculation is verified via a Manipulate.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:50:56 AEST ]]> The dark side of the moon https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:7637 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:36:01 AEDT ]]> Measuring effectiveness of dietetic interventions in child obesity: a systematic review of randomized trials https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:1129 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:32:00 AEDT ]]> Medical specialists and pharmaceutical industry-sponsored research: a survey of the Australian experience https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:213 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:43:08 AEDT ]]> Funnel-web spider bite: a systematic review of recorded clinical cases https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:206 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:43:07 AEDT ]]> Cooperative partnerships or conflict-of-interest?
