Modelling bivariate ordinal responses smoothly with examples from ophthalmology and genetics

Description : A non-parametric implementation of the bivariate Dale model (BDM) is presented as an extension of the generalized additive model (GAM) of Hastie and Tibshirani. The original BDM is an example of a bivariate generalized linear model. In this paper smoothing is introduced on the marginal as well as on...

Continuous retrograde blood cardioplegia is associated with lower hospital mortality after heart valve surgery

Description : Objective: Myocardial preservation studies comparing blood and crystalloid cardioplegia techniques were almost exclusively performed on patients undergoing coronary bypass, and they were unable to show a difference in hospital mortality. We investigated possible factors, including cardioplegia techn...
