What are Estimates?

8.2K
It isn't easy to measure a parameter such as the mean height or the mean weight of a population. So, we draw samples from the population and calculate the mean height or mean weight of the individuals in the sample. This sample data acts as a representative measure of the population parameter. These sample statistics are known as estimates. 
The estimate for the mean of a sample is denoted by ͞x, whereas the mean of the population is designated as μ. Further, parameters such...

Mixing Concrete01:30

Mixing Concrete

370
Concrete mixing ensures a homogenous blend where aggregates are well-coated with cement paste. Concrete mixing is typically done using two main types of mixers: batch and continuous. Batch mixers handle one batch at a time, thoroughly combining materials before discharging and receiving the next batch. In contrast, continuous mixers receive a steady flow of ingredients, mixing them consistently and discharging without interruption. Within batch mixers, tilting drum mixers mix with internal...

Mixing Time01:19

Mixing Time

462
The concept of mixing time is significant in producing a uniform concrete mix with the required strength. The mixing period starts once all components are in the mixer. Initially, the mixer is charged with 10% of the water, followed by the consistent addition of solids and then 80% of the water. The remaining water is added later, within the first quarter of the mixing period. The minimum mixing time varies according to the mixer's capacity; for example, mixers with up to 1 cubic yard...

One-Compartment Open Model for IV Bolus Administration: Estimation of Clearance

349
Clearance is a key pharmacokinetic parameter that quantifies the volume of body fluid from which a drug is entirely removed within a specific time frame. It is crucial in assessing how a drug is eliminated from the body and has critical clinical applications.
In the one-compartment open model for intravenous (IV) bolus administration, clearance is estimated by dividing the elimination rate by the plasma drug concentration. This equation leverages the elimination rate constant and the apparent...

Ready Mixed Concrete01:26

Ready Mixed Concrete

350
Ready-mixed concrete, also known as pre-mixed concrete, is prepared in a centralized plant and then transported in trucks to construction sites where it is ready for placement. This type of concrete is categorized into central-mixed, truck-mixed (or transit-mixed), and shrink-mixed. Central-mixed concrete is entirely prepared at a plant and moved to the site in agitator trucks that rotate at a speed of 2 to 6 rpm. Truck-mixed concrete, on the other hand, has the ingredients batched at the plant...

Estimation of k and VD of Aminoglycosides01:20

Estimation of k and VD of Aminoglycosides

218
Aminoglycosides are a class of antibiotics used to treat various bacterial infections. Clinicians must determine the elimination rate constant (k) and volume of distribution (VD) to optimize therapeutic efficacy and minimize toxicity. The k value represents the rate at which the drug is removed from the body, and the VD reflects the degree to which the drug distributes into body tissues. Accurately estimating these parameters allows healthcare professionals to tailor drug dosing to individual...

Area of Science:

  • Biostatistics
  • Statistical Modeling
  • Health Data Analysis

Background:

  • Logistic mixed effect models are widely used in health research.
  • Standard models often assume normal distribution of random effects and independence between covariates and random effects.
  • These assumptions are frequently violated in real-world health studies due to resource limitations and evolving knowledge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a consistent and locally efficient estimator for logistic mixed effect models with random slopes.
  • To develop a method robust to violations of normality and independence assumptions.
  • To enhance the utility of health data by overcoming common modeling limitations.

Main Methods:

  • Generalization of the framework by Garcia & Ma (2016) for models with random slopes.
  • Development of a novel estimator relaxing normality and independence assumptions.
  • Simulation studies to evaluate estimator performance under assumption violations.

Main Results:

  • The proposed estimator demonstrates consistency even when independence and normality assumptions are violated.
  • This contrasts with the traditional maximum likelihood estimator, which can become inconsistent.
  • The method was applied to a Huntington disease study, improving disease diagnosis.

Conclusions:

  • The novel estimator provides a robust tool for analyzing logistic mixed effect models in health research.
  • It allows for more reliable parameter estimation when standard assumptions do not hold.
  • Improved diagnostic capabilities for diseases like Huntington disease are achievable.
