Relations of drug use and socioeconomic factors with adherence to dental treatment among adolescents by Sílvia Letícia Freddo, Inara Pereira da Cunha, Jaqueline Vilela Bulgareli, Yuri Wanderley Cavalcanti, Antonio Carlos Pereira

“…The prevalence ratios were estimated with the respective 95% confidence intervals, using generalized linear models with Poisson distribution. Results Eighteen (18) months after the first consultation, 325 adolescents were reassessed: 161 (49%) did not adhere to the treatment, and 164 (51%) adhered to it and answered the socioeconomic and alcohol and illicit drug questionnaires. …”

Implementation of a Parallel Algorithm to Simulate the Type I Error Probability by Francisco Novoa-Muñoz

“…Therefore, this article analyzes the performance of two parallel implementations (<i>parRapply</i> and <i>boot</i>) which significantly reduce the execution time of simulations of type I error probability for a goodness-of-fit test for the bivariate Poisson distribution. The results obtained demonstrate how the parallelization strategies accelerate the simulations, reducing the time by 50% to 90% when using 2 to 12 processors running in parallel. …”

A time series analysis of the relationship between ambient temperature and ischaemic stroke in the Ljubljana area: immediate, delayed and cumulative effects by Mirjam Ravljen, Fajko Bajrović, Damjan Vavpotič

“…To measure the effect of average ambient temperature, humidity and pressure we used generalized linear model with a log-link-function and a Poisson distribution. Results The results of our study show a statistically significant immediate, delayed and cumulative effects of ambient temperatures on IS incidence for the whole population and the population older than 65 years. …”

Estimating transmission heterogeneity and case ascertainment from variations in case counts in surveillance data by Dr Judith Bouman, Dr Jantien Backer, Dr Christian Althaus

“…Results: Assuming a constant observation probability, we showed that the daily numbers of reported cases in surveillance data are expected to follow a quasi Poisson distribution. The overdispersion in reported cases is a function of the expected number of cases, the effective reproduction number, the overdispersion in secondary cases k, and the observation probability. …”

Trends in catch rates of sawfish on the Australian North West Shelf by AV Harry, CB Wakefield, SJ Newman, JM Braccini

“…To standardize catch rates and account for excess zeros in the data, we employed generalized additive models for location, scale, and shape (GAMLSSs) using a zero-inflated Poisson distribution. For green sawfish, catch rates approximately doubled over the study period, while an oscillating trend was observed for narrow sawfish catch rates. …”
