摘要:
SUMMARYToo much current statistical work takes a superficial view of the client's research question, adopting techniques which have a solid history, a sound mathematical basis or readily available software, but without considering in depth whether the questions being answered are in fact those which should be asked. Examples, some familiar and others less so, are given to illustrate this assertion. It is clear that establishing the mapping from the client's domain to a statistical question is one of the most difficult parts of a statistical analysis. It is a part in which the responsibility is shared by both client and statistician. A plea is made for more research effort to go in this direction and some suggestions are made for ways to tackle the problem.

摘要:
SUMMARYStatistical issues in conducting randomized trials include the choice of a sample size, whether to stop a trial early and the appropriate analysis and interpretation of the trial results. At each of these stages, evidence external to the trial is useful, but generally such evidence is introduced in an unstructured and informal manner. We argue that a Bayesian approach allows a formal basis for using external evidence and in addition provides a rational way for dealing with issues such as the ethics of randomization, trials to show treatment equivalence, the monitoring of accumulating data and the prediction of the consequences of continuing a study. The motivation for using this methodology is practical rather than ideological.

摘要:
SUMMARYThis paper estimates dynamic models for nutrient intakes, height, weight and morbidity spells by using longitudinal data on 312 children between the ages 1 and 10 years from the Bukidnon region of the Philippines. The analysis attempts to integrate the biomedical aspects of anthropometric assessment with the behavioural factors affecting health. The time dimension of child health is emphasized and a triangular system of equations for height, weight and morbidity spells is estimated. The empirical results show positive associations between protein intake and the children's heights and a negative association betweenβ‐carotene intake and an index of morbidity. Also, the susceptible children can be identified by using anthropometric variables.

摘要:
SUMMARYWe consider the problem of investigating the elevation in risk for a specified disease in relation to possible environmental factors. Our starting point is an inhomogeneous Poisson point process model for the spatial variation in the incidence of cases and controls in a designated geographic region, as proposed by Diggle. We develop a conditional approach to inference which converts the point process model to a non‐linear binary regression model for the spatial variation in risk. Simulations suggest that the usual asymptotic approximations for likelihood‐based inference are more reliable in this conditional setting than in the original point process setting. We present an application to some data on the spatial distribution of asthma in relation to three industrial locations.

摘要:
SUMMARYThis paper illustrates the use of the multistate hazards model for transitions and reverse transitions among more than one transient state emerging from follow‐up studies. In addition a simple method is demonstrated for testing the equality of parameters for a transition from one state to another for the first time and subsequent times. This has been applied to contraceptive use dynamics data in Bangladesh.
