Box-Cox transformation of left-censored data with application to the analysis of coronary artery calcification and pharmacokinetic data.

Abstract:

:Box-Cox transformation is investigated for regression models for left-censored data. Examples are provided using coronary calcification data from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis and pharmacokinetic data of a nicotine nasal spray.

  • Statistical education for medical students--concepts are what remain when the details are forgotten.

    abstract::Teaching statistics to medical students is a challenging and often unrewarding task. However, few would argue the need for statistics in the medical school curriculum. In recent years, there has been a growing call for teaching only statistical concepts in medical schools. We strongly oppose this opinion and offer an ...
