- 生物统计学 生物统计学
- 社会流行病学社会流行病学
背景情况:
- 健康指标往往具有边界值,这对标准不平等测量构成了挑战.
- 现有的方法在一致的不平等排名和界定变量最大不平等方面扎.
研究的目的:
- 为边界健康变量开发新的,公理合理的不平等指数.
- 确保在成就和缺陷表现中保持一致的不平等排名.
- 为了更准确地评估健康不平等,特别是在跨国比较中.
主要方法:
- 提出了一个新的公理,用于对有界变量的最大不等式分布进行排序.
- 开发了公理性表征,导致正常化的不平等指数.
- 基于最大可实现不平等与平均水平的比例而定义的指数.
主要成果:
- 拟议的指数提供一致的不平等排名,不管变量代表性 (实现与缺口).
- 新的指数测量不平等作为最大可实现不平等的观察比例的函数.
- 经验说明显示,与传统指数相比,跨国健康不平等模式不同.
结论:
- 规范化的不平等指数提供了一种更强大的方法来用边界变量来衡量健康差异.
- 这些指数解决了健康不平等文献中的规范性挑战.

To determine the BIBO stability, the convolution integral is utilized when a bounded continuous-time input is applied to a Linear Time-Invariant (LTI) system....
Interval Level of Measurement
Data measured using the interval scale are similar to ordinal level data because they have a definite arrangement. However, in the interval level of measurement, the differences between data values are meaningful even though the data does not have a starting point.
Temperature is measured using the interval scale. It is measurable data, and the difference between...
Ordinal Level of Measurement
Data measured using an ordinal scale are similar to nominal scale data, but there is one major difference. The ordinal scale data can be ordered. An example of ordinal scale data is a list of the top five national parks...
Random Variables
Uppercase letters such as X or Y denote a random variable. Lowercase letters like x or y denote the value of a random variable. If X is a random variable, then X is written in words, and x is given as a number.
For example, let X = the...
Routh-Hurwitz Criterion I
To apply the Routh-Hurwitz criterion, a Routh table is constructed. The table's rows are labeled with powers of the complex frequency variable s, starting from the...
Routh-Hurwitz Criterion II
The first scenario occurs when a singular zero appears in the first column of the Routh table. This situation creates a division by zero issues. To resolve this, a small positive or negative number, denoted as epsilon (∈), is substituted for the zero. The stability analysis proceeds by assuming a sign for ∈. If ∈ is positive, any sign change in the first...
