We investigate the extension of the nonparametric regression technique of local polynomial fitting with a kernel weight to generalized linear models and quasi-likelihood contexts. In the ordinary ...
The authors propose a formal mathematical measure to assess the versatility (simplicity and adaptability) of parametric frequency and severity distributions before use. They compute and compare the ...
Objectives The development of simple tools to identify individuals at high risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) would enable rapid implementation of preventive measures. This study was designed to ...
