Estimation of the Physical Quantities01:05

Estimation of the Physical Quantities

7.1K
On many occasions, physicists, other scientists, and engineers need to make estimates of a particular quantity. These are sometimes referred to as guesstimates, order-of-magnitude approximations, back-of-the-envelope calculations, or Fermi calculations. The physicist Enrico Fermi was famous for his ability to estimate various kinds of data with surprising precision. Estimating does not mean guessing a number or a formula at random. Instead, estimation means using prior experience and sound...

One-Compartment Open Model: Wagner-Nelson and Loo Riegelman Method for ka Estimation

1.0K
This lesson introduces two critical methods in pharmacokinetics, the Wagner-Nelson and Loo-Riegelman methods, used for estimating the absorption rate constant (ka) for drugs administered via non-intravenous routes. The Wagner-Nelson method relates ka to the plasma concentration derived from the slope of a semilog percent unabsorbed time plot. However, it is limited to drugs with one-compartment kinetics and can be impacted by factors like gastrointestinal motility or enzymatic degradation.

Mechanistic Models: Compartment Models in Algorithms for Numerical Problem Solving

228
Mechanistic models play a crucial role in algorithms for numerical problem-solving, particularly in nonlinear mixed effects modeling (NMEM). These models aim to minimize specific objective functions by evaluating various parameter estimates, leading to the development of systematic algorithms. In some cases, linearization techniques approximate the model using linear equations.
In individual population analyses, different algorithms are employed, such as Cauchy's method, which uses a...

Design Example: Analyzing Capacity Contours for Flood Risk Assessment

240
Flood risk assessment involves careful planning and analysis to ensure the safety of communities near water retention structures. Capacity contours are a vital tool in this process, as they illustrate the potential spread of water at specific levels in a given area. In the context of building a bund across a small valley, these contours play a critical role in evaluating the safety of nearby residential areas.In this example, the bund is intended to store stormwater in the valley. The engineers...

Mechanistic Models: Compartment Models in Individual and Population Analysis

198
Mechanistic models are utilized in individual analysis using single-source data, but imperfections arise due to data collection errors, preventing perfect prediction of observed data. The mathematical equation involves known values (Xi), observed concentrations (Ci), measurement errors (εi), model parameters (ϕj), and the related function (ƒi) for i number of values. Different least-squares metrics quantify differences between predicted and observed values. The ordinary least...

What are Estimates?

7.8K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Statistics
  • Public Health
  • Survey Methodology

Background:

  • Bayesian hierarchical regression (BHR) is commonly used for small area estimation (SAE).
  • Traditional BHR methods applied to complex survey data often ignore sampling design and weights, potentially introducing bias and increasing variance.
  • The use of non-informative priors in BHR necessitates combining data over multiple years, impacting timeliness and trend analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a design-assisted model-based approach for SAE that addresses bias and variance issues.
  • To enhance the timeliness of SAE by utilizing historical data for informative priors.
  • To estimate the prevalence of disability at the U.S. county level using the proposed method.

Main Methods:

  • Proposed a design-assisted model-based approach integrating adjusted sample weights into BHR for SAE.
  • Employed a power prior, leveraging historical data to define informative priors for improved timeliness.
  • Validated the method using American Community Survey (ACS) data and applied it to Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) data.

Main Results:

  • The proposed method produced more timely estimates compared to widely-used alternatives.
  • Estimates from the new method were closer to ACS direct estimates, especially for counties with limited data.
  • Demonstrated the ability to estimate county-level disability prevalence effectively.

Conclusions:

  • The developed design-assisted BHR approach offers a more accurate and timely solution for SAE.
  • The method effectively addresses limitations of traditional BHR in complex survey settings.
  • The approach is generalizable for estimating other county-level health-related measurements.
