Abstract: An analytical threshold voltage model developed for a nonuniformly doped channel is used to study the random dopant fluctuation (RDF) effects in FD-SOI MOSFETs. RDF results in nonuniform ...

Areas under the curve (AUCs) were meta-analyzed using Hartung-Knapp-Sidik-Jonkman random-effects models with 95% CIs. Heterogeneity, 95% prediction intervals (PIs), sensitivity analyses, and subgroup ...

Abstract: Degradation models are usually used to provide information about the reliability of highly reliable products that are not likely to fail within a reasonable period of time under traditional ...

Based on the expectation of clinical and methodological heterogeneity among studies, a random-effects model was preselected, and the pooled effect size was estimated using REML and interpreted ...

y_i -- the (n_i x 1) vector of responses for cluster i. These are given at at training. X_i -- the (n_i x p) fixed effects covariates that are associated with the y_i. These are given at training. Z_i ...

The longitudinal microbiome compositional data are highly skewed, bounded in [0,1), and often sparse with many zeros. In addition, the observations from repeated measures are correlated. We propose a ...
