Bayesian Reconstruction of Two-Sex Populations by Age: Estimating Sex Ratios at Birth and Sex Ratios of Mortality [0.03%]
基于年龄的双边人群的贝叶斯重建：估计男女出生比例及死亡比率
Mark C Wheldon,Adrian E Raftery,Samuel J Clark et al.
Mark C Wheldon et al.
The original version of Bayesian reconstruction, a method for estimating age-specific fertility, mortality, migration and population counts of the recent past with uncertainty, produced estimates for female-only populations. Here we show ho...
A log-linear modelling approach to assessing the consistency of ego reports of dyadic outcomes with applications to fertility and sexual partnerships [0.03%]
一种用于评估单一结果的自我报告与二元结果一致性的对数线性模型方法及其在生育和性伴侣中的应用
Ryan Admiraal,Mark S Handcock
Ryan Admiraal
We propose a log-linear model to assess the consistency of ego reports of dyadic outcomes. We do so specifically in the context where males and females report on shared events, and we demonstrate how inconsistencies can be assessed by using...
A joint model of persistent human papillomavirus infection and cervical cancer risk: Implications for cervical cancer screening [0.03%]
持续人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）感染与宫颈癌风险的联合模型及其在宫颈癌筛查中的应用意义
Hormuzd A Katki,Li C Cheung,Barbara Fetterman et al.
Hormuzd A Katki et al.
New cervical cancer screening guidelines in the US and many European countries recommend that women get tested for human papillomavirus (HPV). To inform decisions about screening intervals, we calculate the increase in precancer/cancer risk...

The paper discusses the recent decision of the UK's Office for National Statistics to replace the controversial Carli index with the Jevons index in a new version of the retail price index-RPIJ. In doing so we make three contributions to th...
Broader health coverage is good for the nation's health: evidence from country level panel data [0.03%]
更广泛的医疗保障有利于国民健康：来自国家层面面板数据的证据

Progress towards universal health coverage involves providing people with access to needed health services without entailing financial hardship and is often advocated on the grounds that it improves population health. The paper offers econo...
Interviewer effects on non-response propensity in longitudinal surveys: a multilevel modelling approach [0.03%]
多水平建模方法在纵向调查中探讨访员对不回访倾向的影响
Rebecca Vassallo,Gabriele B Durrant,Peter W F Smith et al.
Rebecca Vassallo et al.
The paper investigates two different multilevel approaches, the multilevel cross-classified and the multiple-membership models, for the analysis of interviewer effects on wave non-response in longitudinal surveys. The models proposed incorp...
The drivers of month-of-birth differences in children's cognitive and non-cognitive skills [0.03%]
儿童认知和非认知技能差异的出生月份决定因素分析
Claire Crawford,Lorraine Dearden,Ellen Greaves
Claire Crawford
Previous research has found that children who are born later in the academic year have lower educational attainment, on average, than children who are born earlier in the year, especially at younger ages; much less is known about the mechan...
Multiple-membership multiple-classification models for social network and group dependences [0.03%]
用于社会网络和群体相关性的多重成员多重分类模型
Mark Tranmer,David Steel,William J Browne
Mark Tranmer
The social network literature on network dependences has largely ignored other sources of dependence, such as the school that a student attends, or the area in which an individual lives. The multilevel modelling literature on school and are...
The use of propensity scores to assess the generalizability of results from randomized trials [0.03%]
倾向性评分在评价随机试验结果适用性中的应用
Elizabeth A Stuart,Stephen R Cole,Catherine P Bradshaw et al.
Elizabeth A Stuart et al.
Randomized trials remain the most accepted design for estimating the effects of interventions, but they do not necessarily answer a question of primary interest: Will the program be effective in a target population in which it may be implem...
Bayesian Hierarchical Semiparametric Modelling of Longitudinal Post-treatment Outcomes from Open Enrolment Therapy Groups [0.03%]
开放入学治疗小组的纵向术后结果的贝叶斯分层半参数建模

There are several challenges to testing the effectiveness of group therapy-based interventions in alcohol and other drug use (AOD) treatment settings. Enrollment into AOD therapy groups typically occurs on an open (rolling) basis. Changes i...
