An Unbalanced Mixed Model with Random Effects Having Unequal Variances

Consider the mixed model where x_ijk's are known constants, β_k are unknown parameters and a_i, e_ij are random variables independently and normally distributed with zero means and variances σd_i and σ² respectively, where it is assumed that the d_i's are known (d_i >0). This paper presents procedures for estimating the variance components σ, σ², for testing the hypothesis σ = 0, and for making transformations to random variables with uncorrelated errors and constant variances in order to estimate as well as to test hypothesis concerning the β_k's in the model.     

Unconditional Confidence Interval for the Difference between Two Proportions

In applied statistics it is customary to have to obtain a one‐ or two‐tail confidence interval for the difference d = p₂ – p₁ between two independent binomial proportions. Traditionally, one is looking for a classic and non‐symmetric interval (with respect to zero) of the type d ∈ [δ_L;δ_U], d ≤ δ₀ or d ≥ δ₀. However, in clinical trials, equivalence studies, vaccination efficacy studies, etc., and even after performing the classic homogeneity test, intervals of the type |d| ≤ Δ₀ or |d| ≥ Δ₀, where Δ₀ > 0, may be necessary. In all these cases it is advisable to obtain the interval by inverting the appropriate test. The advantage of this procedure is that the conclusions obtained using the test are compatible with those obtained using the interval. The article shows how this is done using the new exact and asymptotic unconditional tests published. The programs for performing these tests may be obtained at URL http://www.ugr.es/~bioest/software.htm.     

Existence and global asymptotic stability of positive periodic solutions of n-species delay impulsive Lotka–Volterra type systems

In this paper, the existence and global asymptotic stability of positive periodic solutions of periodic n-species Lotka–Volterra impulsive systems with several deviating arguments are studied. By using the continuation theorem of coincidence degree theory and Lyapunov–Razumikhin method, sufficient conditions are obtained. Some known results are improved and generalized.

Applications of proportional odds ordinal logistic regression models and continuation ratio models in examining the association of physical inactivity with erectile dysfunction among type 2 diabetic patients

[Purpose]Many studies have observed a high prevalence of erectile dysfunction among individuals performing physical activity in less leisure-time. However, this relationship in patients with type 2 diabetic patients is not well studied. In exposure outcome studies with ordinal outcome variables, investigators often try to make the outcome variable dichotomous and lose information by collapsing categories. Several statistical models have been developed to make full use of all information in ordinal response data, but they have not been widely used in public health research. In this paper, we discuss the application of two statistical models to determine the association of physical inactivity with erectile dysfunction among patients with type 2 diabetes.[Methods]A total of 204 married men aged 20-60 years with a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes at the outpatient unit of the Department of Endocrinology at PSG hospitals during the months of May and June 2019 were studied. We examined the association between physical inactivity and erectile dysfunction using proportional odds ordinal logistic regression models and continuation ratio models.[Results]The proportional odds model revealed that patients with diabetes who perform leisure time physical activity for over 40 minutes per day have reduced odds of erectile dysfunction (odds ratio=0.38) across the severity categories of erectile dysfunction after adjusting for age and duration of diabetes.[Conclusion]The present study suggests that physical inactivity has a negative impact on erectile function. We observed that the simple logistic regression model had only 75% efficiency compared to the proportional odds model used here; hence, more valid estimates were obtained here.
