Mixed Effects Models for the Population Approach Models Tasks Methods and Tools

Mixed Effects Models for the Population Approach Models Tasks Methods and Tools

Wide-Ranging Coverage of Parametric Modeling in Linear and Nonlinear Mixed Effects ModelsMixed Effects Models for the Population Approach: Models Tasks Methods and Tools presents a rigorous framework for describing implementing and using mixed effects models. With these models readers can perform parameter estimation and modeling across a whole population of individuals at the same time. Easy-to-Use Techniques and Tools for Real-World Data ModelingThe book first shows how the framework allows model representation for different data types including continuous categorical count and time-to-event data. This leads to the use of generic methods such as the stochastic approximation of the EM algorithm (SAEM) for modeling these diverse data types. The book also covers other essential methods including Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) and importance sampling techniques. The author uses publicly available software tools to illustrate modeling tasks. Methods are implemented in Monolix and models are visually explored using Mlxplore and simulated using Simulx. Careful Balance of Mathematical Representation and Practical ImplementationThis book takes readers through the whole modeling process from defining/creating a parametric model to performing tasks on the model using various mathematical methods. Statisticians and mathematicians will appreciate the rigorous representation of the models and theoretical properties of the methods while modelers will welcome the practical capabilities of the tools. The book is also useful for training and teaching in any field where population modeling occurs. | Mixed Effects Models for the Population Approach Models Tasks Methods and Tools

Statistical Methods for Spatial Data Analysis

Statistical Methods for Spatial Data Analysis

Understanding spatial statistics requires tools from applied and mathematical statistics linear model theory regression time series and stochastic processes. It also requires a mindset that focuses on the unique characteristics of spatial data and the development of specialized analytical tools designed explicitly for spatial data analysis. Statistical Methods for Spatial Data Analysis answers the demand for a text that incorporates all of these factors by presenting a balanced exposition that explores both the theoretical foundations of the field of spatial statistics as well as practical methods for the analysis of spatial data. This book is a comprehensive and illustrative treatment of basic statistical theory and methods for spatial data analysis employing a model-based and frequentist approach that emphasizes the spatial domain. It introduces essential tools and approaches including: measures of autocorrelation and their role in data analysis; the background and theoretical framework supporting random fields; the analysis of mapped spatial point patterns; estimation and modeling of the covariance function and semivariogram; a comprehensive treatment of spatial analysis in the spectral domain; and spatial prediction and kriging. The volume also delivers a thorough analysis of spatial regression providing a detailed development of linear models with uncorrelated errors linear models with spatially-correlated errors and generalized linear mixed models for spatial data. It succinctly discusses Bayesian hierarchical models and concludes with reviews on simulating random fields non-stationary covariance and spatio-temporal processes. Additional material on the CRC Press website supplements the content of this book. The site provides data sets used as examples in the text software code that can be used to implement many of the principal methods described and illustrated and updates to the text itself.

Anxiety and Depression in Primary Care International Perspectives

Anxiety and Depression in Primary Care International Perspectives

This book provides practical information about depression and anxiety in primary care with a focus on the approach in different countries and incorporating global ranges/prevalence risk factors and health burden including that associated with COVID-19 and its pandemic. To ensure the challenges of a wide international primary care community are reflected fully authors from different world regions – Africa Asia Pacific East Mediterranean Europe IberoAmericana-CIMF North America and South Asia – have co-contributed to individual chapters on the detection and management of depression and anxiety in primary care in their own countries including the screening tools used how widely these tools are adopted and by whom and current policies. As well as the medical model it also presents the alternative viewpoint that feeling low or anxious is part of the human condition and the attention should be on supporting people in their journey through life struggling to deal with the mainly social challenges they meet rather than defining these problems as disorders or diseases requiring identification and treatment. Key Features: Explores the instruments used for the detection of depression and anxiety in primary care in various countries and why and how these instruments are being used Describes the pharmaceutical and non-drug interventions for treating depression and anxiety in primary care and compares the similarities and differences in detecting and managing depression and anxiety in primary care among different countries Includes in-depth regional examples of how screening tools are used in practice and how policies can be established in the management of depression and anxiety in primary care Concludes with lessons learned from various countries and from different stakeholders with clear advice on what to do and importantly what not to do Addressing primary care detection and management of mental health issues across the globe the book will be an invaluable practical aid for family medicine practitioners and the wider primary and community care teams and a useful reference for those involved in policy setting at regional and national levels including ministries of health. | Anxiety and Depression in Primary Care International Perspectives

Field Guide to Clandestine Laboratory Identification and Investigation

Field Guide to Clandestine Laboratory Identification and Investigation

Clandestine labs that manufacture drugs or explosives may be encountered virtually anywhere. They can range from complex operations employing scientific equipment and exotic chemicals or simply kitchen utensils and chemicals purchased at a local grocery or hardware store. Regardless of their form the key to detecting clandestine labs is the ability to recognize the combinations of equipment and chemicals that constitute the lab in the first place. The first line of defense against the manufacturers—who supply the drug trade and terrorists with their tools of destruction—is law enforcement the fire services and other emergency responders. Field Guide to Clandestine Laboratory Identification and Investigation Second Edition provides the information necessary to recognize operations that produce these deadly brews. As with the prior edition the book has sections covering the chemicals and equipment commonly used in the manufacture of drugs and explosives. They are grouped in a manner that allows the emergency responder to quickly identify common combinations of equipment and chemicals that could potentially be used to manufacture drugs or explosives. Since many clandestine manufacturing operations use commonly available materials that have legitimate uses the author outlines how to quickly assess and recognize key indicators associated with clandestine laboratory operations. Sections within the book address information concerning both the hazards associated with those chemicals involved and the personal protective equipment needed to abate the hazards. In addition documentation requirements field-testing and sampling procedures are detailed for use once the operation has been seized and secured. Reproducible worksheets are provided to be used either as or to supplement the on-scene investigators’ field notes and assist in providing a standardized manner to objectively record information about the crime scene. The ability to identify the tools used to manufacture contraband drugs and explosives is a key element in the battle against drug abuse and terrorism making the Field Guide to Clandestine Laboratory Identification and Investigation Second Edition an indispensible resource for responders and investigators alike.
