  2. 1. Dying to count : mortality surveillance methods in resource-poor settings

    Author : Edward F Fottrell; Peter Byass; Heiko Becher; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; mortality; surveillance; verbal autopsy; survey methods; Epidemiology; Epidemiologi;

    Abstract : Background Mortality data are critical to understanding and monitoring changes in population health status over time. Nevertheless, the majority of people living in the world’s poorest countries, where the burden of disease is highest, remain outside any kind of systematic health surveillance. READ MORE

  4. 2. “Count on me!” : Mathematical development, developmental dyscalculia and computer-based intervention

    Author : Linda Olsson; Ulf Träff; Joakim Samuelsson; Lisa Thorell; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; mathematical development; symbolic number processing; Approximate number system; developmental dyscalculia; computer-based intervention; matematisk utveckling; symboliskt nummerprocessande; Approximativa nummersystemet; dyskalkyli; datorbaserad intervention;

    Abstract : A “sense” of number can be found across species, yet only humans supplement it with exact and symbolic number, such as number words and digits. However, what abilities leads to successful or unsuccessful arithmetic proficiency is still debated. READ MORE

  5. 3. Does IT count? : complexities between access to and use of information technologies among Uganda's farmers

    Author : Caroline Wamala; Merete Lie; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Genus och teknik; Gender and Technology;

    Abstract : Drawn from a year of ethnographic fieldwork among farmers in Uganda, this study engages with developing an understanding on how access to and use of media and information technologies are negotiated in their separate profiles. Oftentimes the two entities, access and use, are laminated into one statistical representation, depicting both terms as either use or access. READ MORE

  6. 4. Count data modelling and tourism demand

    Author : Jörgen Hellström; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Time series; Count data; INARMA; Unit root; Aggregation; Forecasting; Tourism; Truncation; Inflation; Simulated maximum likelihood; Bivariate hurdle model.;

    Abstract : This thesis consists of four papers concerning modelling of count data and tourism demand. For three of the papers the focus is on the integer-valued autoregressive moving average model class (INARMA), and especially on the ENAR(l) model. READ MORE

  7. 5. Pharmacometric Methods and Novel Models for Discrete Data

    Author : Elodie L Plan; Mats O Karlsson; Laura Sargentini-Maier; Armel Stockis; Christian Laveille; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pharmacometrics; pharmacodynamics; disease progression; modelling; discrete data; count; ordered categorical; repeated time-to-event; RTTCE; RCEpT; NONMEM; FOCE; LAPLACE; SAEM; AGQ; pain scores; epilepsy seizures; gastroesophageal symptoms; statistical power; simulations; diagnostics; PHARMACY; FARMACI; Pharmacokinetics and Drug Therapy; Farmakokinetik och läkemedelsterapi;

    Abstract : Pharmacodynamic processes and disease progression are increasingly characterized with pharmacometric models. However, modelling options for discrete-type responses remain limited, although these response variables are commonly encountered clinical endpoints. Types of data defined as discrete data are generally ordinal, e.g. READ MORE
