APPROXIMATION OF THE COX SURVIVAL REGRESSION MODEL BY MCMC BAYESIAN HIERARCHICAL POISSON MODELLING OF FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH CHILDHOOD MORTALITY IN NIGERIA

Abstract The need for more pragmatic approaches to achieve sustainable development goal on childhood mortality reduction necessitated this study.Simultaneous study of the influence of where the children live and the censoring nature of children survival data is scarce.We identified the compositional and contextual factors associated with under-five

This paper presents a decentralized communication planning algorithm for cooperative terrain-based navigation (dec-TBN) with autonomous underwater vehicles.The proposed algorithm uses forward simulation to approximate the value of communicating at each time step.The simulations are used to build a directed acyclic graph that can be searched to prov

Background Delusional disorder presents with a stable and well-defined delusional system.Many are unwilling to accept that they have a mental disorder or that they require psychiatric treatment.The condition responds to treatment in most cases.This study aims to assess the clinical profile, treatment pattern and response to it, frequency of follow-

Acute stress responsiveness is a quantitative trait that varies in severity from one individual to another; however, the genetic component underlying the individual variation is largely unknown.Fischer 344 (F344) and Wistar Kyoto (WKY) rat strains show large differences in behavioral responsiveness to acute stress, such as freezing behavior in resp
