Mirror gait retraining for the treatment of patellofemoral pain in female runners.
(http://www.journals.elsevier.com/clinical-biomechanics, 2012-12)BACKGROUND: Abnormal hip mechanics are often implicated in female runners with patellofemoral pain. We sought to evaluate a simple gait retraining technique, using a full-length mirror, in female runners with patellofemoral ... -
Mixture modeling with applications in schizophrenia research
(East Carolina University, 2009-05-15)Finite mixture modeling, together with the EM algorithm, have been widely used in clustering analysis. Under such methods, the unknown group membership is usually treated as missing data. When the "complete data" ... -
Modeling survival in colon cancer: a methodological review
(East Carolina University, 2007-02-12)The Cox proportional hazards model is the most widely used model for survival analysis because of its simplicity. The fundamental assumption in this model is the proportionality of the hazard function. When this condition ... -
