Model-based projections for deriving up-to-date cancer survival estimates: an international evaluation.

29 Nov 2009 Model-based projections were shown to be useful for deriving most up-to-date population-based cancer survival estimates. However, the performance of these projections, which can be derived by various approaches, has only been evaluated in very few ... Read more...

Benefit of carotid endarterectomy for symptomatic and asymptomatic severe carotid artery stenosis: a Markov model based on data from randomized controlled trials. Clinical article.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECT: Several major randomized controlled trials of carotid endarterectomy (CEA) in patients with both symptomatic and asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis have addressed the net effects of CEA on the risk of stroke. However, because the risk of ... Read more...

Clinical and radiobiological advantages of single-dose stereotactic light-ion radiation therapy for large intracranial arteriovenous malformations. Technical note.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECT: Radiation treatment of large arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) remains difficult and not very effective, even though seemingly promising methods such as staged volume treatments have been proposed by some radiation treatment centers. In ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Models, Statistical'

Definition: Statistical formulations or analyses which, when applied to data and found to fit the data, are then used to verify the assumptions and parameters used in the analysis. Examples of statistical models are the linear model, binomial model, polynomial model, two-parameter model, etc.
