Applied researchers often need to estimate confidence intervals for functions of parameters, such as the effects of counterfactual policy changes. If the function is continuously differentiable and ...

Abstract: We derive conditions for continuous differentiability of inter-spike intervals (ISIs) of spiking neurons with respect to parameters (decision variables) of an external stimulating input ...

An estimate of the survival function is presented which combines the parameter estimates derived by Cox and the estimate of the underlying hazard function derived by Breslow. Using a heuristic ...

The exponential distribution is frequently used to model the survival time of a patient population, which assumes the hazard rate to be a constant over time. This assumption is often violated as the ...

Testosterone (T), sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), free testosterone (FT) and bioavailable testosterone (BAT) are commonly employed tests in pediatric endocrinology and all require age-dependent ...
