Mixture modeling within the context of pharmacokinetic (PK)/pharmacodynamic (PD) mixed effects modeling is a useful tool to explore a population for the presence of two or more subpopulations, not explained by evaluated covariates. At... more

Several long-term mark recapture studies have been conducted on box turtles (Terrapene c. carolina) providing valuable information on life span, basic demography, home range, and apparent effects of environmental changes on box turtle... more
To investigate the reliability and validity of measures obtained from a portable electronic device used to monitor changes in plantar pressure, temperature, and humidity that occur within the shoe during prolonged activity. Descriptive... more
This doctoral dissertation consists of three self-contained essays dealing with two topics: the organization, performance and reform of Argentina’s health care sector, and the utilization and demand for health services.
In this paper we develop a dynamic model for integer counts to capture fundamental properties of financial prices at the transaction level. Our model relies on an autoregressive multinomial component for the direction of the price change... more
This paper provides a survey of count regression models in SAS®, which incorporates various count data modeling strategies. Our estimation procedure allows for a wide variety of count data distributions which can be used to model both... more
Software reliability models (SRMs) are very important for estimating and predicting software reliability in the testing/debugging phase. The contributions of this paper are as follows. First, a historical review of the Gompertz SRM is... more
BACKGROUND: Encouraging cycling is an important way to increase physical activity in the community. The Cycling Connecting Communities (CCC) Project is a community-based cycling promotion program that included a range of community... more
The control chart based on the Poisson residuals has been shown to be competitive for monitoring the number of nonconforming in an industrial process. The Poisson regression model is the most popular used by Generalized Linear Models,... more
This article investigates the determinants of foreign direct investment (FDI) location across Italian provinces. Specifically it examines the relationship between industry-specific local industrial systems and the location of inward FDI.... more
A variety of methods of modelling overdispersed count data are compared. The methods are classified into three main categories. The first category are ad hoc methods (i.e. pseudo-likelihood, (extended) quasi-likelihood, double exponential... more
