To inform policy-making, we measured the risk, causes and consequences of catastrophic expenditures for tuberculosis and investigated potential inequities.

Organizations, both private and public, in today’s dynamic marketplaces are increasingly leaving antiquated marketing philosophies and strategies to the adoption of more customer driven initiatives that seek to understand, attract, retain and build intimate long term relationship with...

We first show that any 1−α bootstrap percentile confidence interval for a proportion based on a binomial random variable has an infimum coverage probability zero for any sample size. This result is then extended to intervals for the difference, the relative risk and the odds ratio of two...

Optimal allocation designs for the allocation proportion are obtained in the present paper for a two-treatment situation, in a completely correlated setup where the sum of the responses no longer follows a binomial distribution. We consider treatment difference and odds ratio to find the optimal...

In this paper, we show the difference in the variance of the Mantel–Haenszel estimator and the profile maximum likelihood estimator of order O((kn)−3) or less, where the individual variances are of order O(n−1). Here n is the minimum number of samples available for any treatment in any...

In a two-sample clinical trial, a fixed proportion of true-and-surrogate and the remaining only-surrogate responses are observed. We quantify the increase in efficiency to compare the treatments as a linear function of the proportion of available true responses.

Determining appropriate topics and target audiences is essential to design effective educational outreach programs. Based on landowner responses to a mail survey, we determined both the importance and the availability of wildlife and forest management information topics to Mississippi...

Ireland’s economic growth (1992–2007) was fuelled by availability of capital, but also through access to cheap flexible labour. This article attempts to provide evidence that the Irish state played a central role in facilitating and shaping labour supply, a role that has resulted...

In this article, we explain how to calculate adjusted risk ratios and risk differences when reporting results from logit, probit, and related nonlinear models. Building on Stata’s margins command, we create a new postestimation command, adjrr, that calculates adjusted risk ratios and adjusted...
