Elicitation of Priors for Intervention Effects in Educational Trial Data (2024)
Book Chapter
Zhang, Q., Uwimpuhwe, G., Vallis, D., Singh, A., Coolen-Maturi, T., & Einbeck, J. (2024). Elicitation of Priors for Intervention Effects in Educational Trial Data. In J. Einbeck, H. Maeng, E. Ogundimu, & K. Perrakis (Eds.), Developments in Statistical Modelling (28-33). Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-65723-8_5

Effect sizes for educational interventions are commonly small, and hence decisions to re-grant efficacy trials (small trials with homogeneous populations under idealized conditions) as effectiveness trials (larger trials with heterogeneous population...

Estimating Dose and Time of Exposure from a Protein-Based Radiation Biomarker (2024)
Book Chapter
Cai, Y., Einbeck, J., Barnard, S., & Ainsbury, E. (2024). Estimating Dose and Time of Exposure from a Protein-Based Radiation Biomarker. In Developments in Statistical Modelling (239-245). Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-65723-8_37

In order to analyze the potential damage to the human body caused by exposure to ionizing radiation, one needs to have an estimation of the dose of radiation received by the individual. In the context of a protein-based biomarker for radiation exposu... Read More about Estimating Dose and Time of Exposure from a Protein-Based Radiation Biomarker.

A Distance-Based Statistic for Goodness-of-Fit Assessment (2024)
Book Chapter
Jayakumari, D., Einbeck, J., Hinde, J., & Moral, R. A. (2024). A Distance-Based Statistic for Goodness-of-Fit Assessment. In J. Einbeck, H. Maeng, E. Ogundimu, & K. Perrakis (Eds.), Developments in Statistical Modelling (263-268). Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-65723-8_40

The modelling of count data in real world scenarios often requires models that address over-dispersion. Within the generalized linear modeling framework, various over-dispersion models are available as extensions of the basic Poisson model. Graphical...

Tools for Assessing Goodness of Fit of GLMs: Case Studies in Entomology (2023)
Book Chapter
Jayakumari, D., Hinde, J., Einbeck, J., & Moral, R. A. (2024). Tools for Assessing Goodness of Fit of GLMs: Case Studies in Entomology. In Modelling Insect Populations in Agricultural Landscapes (211-235). Springer International Publishing. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-43098-5_11

In this chapter, we discuss the analysis of data that typically arise from entomological studies using generalized linear models. We focus on techniques that can be used to assess model goodness of fit, which is an important step in statistical model...

Estimating Exposure Fraction from Radiation Biomarkers: A Comparison of Frequentist and Bayesian Approaches (2021)
Book Chapter
Errington, A., Einbeck, J., & Cumming, J. (2021). Estimating Exposure Fraction from Radiation Biomarkers: A Comparison of Frequentist and Bayesian Approaches. In M. Vasile, & D. Quagliarella (Eds.), Advances in Uncertainty Quantification and Optimization Under Uncertainty with Aerospace Applications (393-405). Springer Verlag. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-80542-5_24

If individuals are exposed to ionising radiation, due to some radiation accident, for medical reasons, or during spaceflight, there is often a need to estimate the contracted radiation dose. The field of biodosimetry is concerned with estimating the... Read More about Estimating Exposure Fraction from Radiation Biomarkers: A Comparison of Frequentist and Bayesian Approaches.

On the Use of Random Effect Models for Radiation Biodosimetry (2017)
Book Chapter
Einbeck, J., Ainsbury, E., Barnard, S., Oliveira, M., Manning, G., Puig, P., & Badie, C. (2017). On the Use of Random Effect Models for Radiation Biodosimetry. In E. Ainsbury, M. Calle, E. Cardis, J. Einbeck, G. Gómez, & P. Puig (Eds.), Extended abstracts Fall 2015 : Biomedical Big Data ; Statistics for Low Dose Radiation Research (89-94). Springer Verlag. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-55639-0_15

The application of random effect models to different radiation biomarkers, including cytogenetic, protein-based, and gene-expression based biomarkers, is discussed. Explicit case studies are provided for the latter two scenarios, in which random effe... Read More about On the Use of Random Effect Models for Radiation Biodosimetry.

Hotspots in Hindsight (2015)
Book Chapter

Several workers have suggested that the locations of melting anomalies (hotspots) and the original locations of large igneous provinces (LIPs) and kimberlite pipes lie preferentially above the margins of two large low-shear-velocity provinces, or LLS... Read More about Hotspots in Hindsight.

Often the relation between the variables constituting a multivariate data space might be characterized by one or more of the terms: ``nonlinear'', ``branched'', ``disconnected'', ``bended'', ``curved'', ``heterogeneous'', or, more general, ``complex'...
