The negative multinomial distribution appears in many areas of applications such as polarimetric image processing and the analysis of longitudinal count data. In previous studies, general formulas for the falling factorial moments and cumulants of th...
The distribution of individuals of different species across different sampling units is typically non-random. This distributional non-independence can be interpreted and modelled as a correlated multivariate distribution. However, this correlation ca...
Cox processes, also called doubly stochastic Poisson processes, are used for describing phenomena for which overdispersion exists, as well as Poisson properties conditional on environmental effects. In this paper, we consider situations where spatial...
In this work, we compare three formulations of thermodynamic entropy for a non-interacting bosonic gas: (i) the grand-canonical Bose–Einstein entropy, (ii) the finite-N canonical entropy obtained from the exact partition function (Ziff, Uhlenbe...
In this work, we derived new asymptotic results for multinomial models. To obtain these results, we started by studying limit distributions in models with a compact parameter space. This restriction holds since the key parameter whose components are...
Entropy indicates a measure of information contained in a complex system, and its estimation continues to receive ongoing focus in the case of multivariate data, particularly that on the unit simplex. Oftentimes the Dirichlet distribution is employed...
This study investigates the effect of financial–accounting variables on a firm’s distinct life cycle phase. The study concentrates on the real estate sector and uses data of publicly listed REITs which are traded in the European market. T...
This article proposes a method for determining the p-value of correlations in compositional data, i.e., those data that arise as a result of dividing original values by their sum. Data organized in this way are typical for many fields of knowledge, b...
This manuscript provides a comprehensive exploration of Probabilistic latent semantic analysis (PLSA), highlighting its strengths, drawbacks, and challenges. The PLSA, originally a tool for information retrieval, provides a probabilistic sense for a...
This study applies a Bayesian hierarchical multinomial model to examine the functional distribution of the English word ‘that’ in learner-corpus data. The corpus consisted of 154,694 running words of learner-generated online comments and...
Influence of host factors, including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) co-infection, on the distribution and diagnostic potential of previously evaluated biomarkers of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB), such as anti-antigen 60 (A60) immunoglobulin (Ig) G...
Background/Objectives: High-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) is the principal etiological agent of cervical cancer, with distinct genotype-specific oncogenic potential. While HPV type 16 is most frequently implicated in carcinogenesis, the role of oth...
Sustainable development plays a vital role in information and communication technology. In times of pandemics such as COVID-19, vulnerable people need help to survive. This help includes the distribution of relief packages and materials by the govern...
The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of sleep-wake disturbances (SWD) following pediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI), and to examine characteristics of TBI and patient demographics that might be predictive of subsequent SWD d...
An increased dependency on motorized modes of transportation has been noticed recently for school children commuting to school, while a major decline in walking to school has occurred. Dependency on motorized modes for commuting to school has many ad...
With the acceleration of global population aging, rural areas face particularly severe challenges due to youth outmigration and uneven resource distribution. Taking Jiashan Village in Wuhan as a case study, this research combines the planning–a...
In this study, we propose two models for predicting people’s activity. The first model is the pedestrian distribution prediction (or postdiction) model by multiple regression analysis using space syntax indices of urban fabric and people distribution...

The stigmatizing attitude towards people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) can be a major barrier to effective patient care. As future physicians, medical students represent a core group that should be targeted with focused knowledge and adequate training...
Objective: Barriers to healthcare accessibility and individuals’ perceived fairness of medical services are crucial indicators for evaluating the performance of a health system. An in-depth analysis of the statistical associations among these f...
Background: Metabolic age is defined as an estimation of a person’s age based on their basal metabolic rate (BMR) and other physiological health indicators. Unlike chronological age, which simply measures the number of years lived since birth,...
