β¦ Synopsis
This work is motivated by a longitudinal study of women and their ectopic pregnancy outcomes in Lund, Sweden. In this article, we review and apply the Liang-Zeger methodology to the Lund ectopic pregnancy data set. We further analyse the ectopic pregnancy data using conditional modelling approaches suggested by Rosner and Bonney. From the Lund ectopic pregnancy data, we learned that PID is the strongest predictor of subsequent development of ectopic pregnancy and that there is a monotone relationship between PID severity and ectopic pregnancy. We also learned that the presence of mycoplasma from lower or upper genital tract sites at index laparoscopy is also a strong predictor of ectopic pregnancy. Other correlates of ectopic pregnancy include age at pregnancy and history of gynaecologic surgery.

We propose a method for measuring familial aggregation of binary outcomes that incorporates unconditional, i.e., marginal, odds-ratios, for measuring association between outcomes within generations while using conditional odds-ratios to measure association between generations. This method may be use
In the study of multivariate processes, a framework is needed for describing not only the properties of individual series, but also the possible cross-relationship among the series. For this purpose, the method of canonical correlation analysis is used for treatment of multivariate time series which
## Abstract This paper presents a new composite methodology for estimating efficient marginal costs of outputs. The methodology is based on multiβcriteria methods involving Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), Goal Programming (GP) and Regression Analysis (RA) techniques. Firstly, DEA is used to find a
New dermal penetration data have been measured in both "infinite" and finite dose experiments on a range of compounds of varying lipophilicities. The data are analyzed, using parameter fitting, to determine the values of parameters governing the overall skin absorption processes. Two one-dimensional
