In this paper, we have presented the second level nesting of Bonney's disposition model (Bonney, 1998) and examined the implications of higher level nesting of the disposition model in relation to the dimension of the parameter space. We have also compared the performance of the disposition...

The correlated Weibull regression model for the analysis of correlated binary data is presented. This regression model is based on Bonney’s disposition model for the regression analysis of correlated binary outcomes. Parameter estimation was done through the maximum likelihood method. The...

Do active vertical mass movements occur within a population of phototropic bacteria in the meromictic Lake Cadagno. An experiment was conducted in vivo to record vertical profiles of the parameters turbidity and temperature in a spatial resolution of 30 cm repeatedly over time. After eliminating...

In the present study we investigate the data provided by the karstwater level monitoring system set up in the Transdanubian Mountains, more precisely in the Bakony, the Keszthelyi Mountains and the Balaton-Highland. (Here, like in the sequel, the term karstwater is used for groundwater in...

In this paper we describe the principles of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and its expanding use in molecular genetic research and molecular medicine. A short introduction of exemplary applications of the PCR is connected with a discussion of the lack of PCR accuracy. We give a statistical...

Research concerning the quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping in plant genetics usually consists of two stages. The first stage is concerned with collecting data while the second one, based on the data collected, is concerned with a proper QTL study. The final inferences are strictly connected...
