Weibull-like Model of Cancer Development in Aging by Tengiz Mdzinarishvili, Simon Sherman

“…In this work, for mathematical modeling of cancer hazards, we proposed to use the Weibull-like function, derived from the Armitage-Doll multistage concept of carcinogenesis and an assumption that number of clones at age t developed from mutated cells follows the Poisson distribution. This function is characterized by three parameters, two of which ( r and λ) are the conventional parameters of the Weibull probability distribution function, and an additional parameter ( C 0 ) that adjusts the model to the observational data. …”

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. …”

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. …”

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. …”
