) (Blinder 1973, Oaxaca 1973, etc.) Analyses based on simple summary measures are often very informative. However, they do not always tell the whole story. Ben Jann (ETH Z¨urich) Relative Distribution Methods in Stata DSUG 2008 3 / 30 Introduction Therefore: Distributional analysis of group...
Analyses were conducted in Stata Special Edition version 12 [27]. With respect to the second objective, the study compiled information on all policies and programs implemented since 1990 that have directly or indirectly attempted to reduce neonatal mortality. We conducted a range of searches in the...
Moreover, no association between grip strength and T2DM was found in a Mendelian randomization study [13], whereas an inverse association was reported in a meta-analysis of 13 cohort studies [5]. Besides grip strength, timed up and go (TUG) test is also used in evaluating physical function...
Pooled data estimates (and their 95% confidence intervals) were obtained using Rubin’s equations50 implemented in STATA for analysis of multiple imputation in complex survey data. Variance estimates for development and validation datasets were obtained using Taylor series linearization. Bootstrapping ...
Table 2 shows the distribution of SRR. We acknowledge that the choice of the cut-offs is debatable, but our analysis is robust to this transformation. Only 2.5% of tourists declare to be dissatisfied relative to rates. The vast majority are quite satisfied (65%), whereas a non-negligible ...

We aim to compare in-hospital mortality between Saudi Arabia and the United States, adjusting for severity and demographic variables. Methods The analysis included 485,611 patients from the U.S. National Trauma Data Bank (NTDB) and 5,290 patients from a trauma registry at King Abdulaziz Medical...
Using eq. (4), the original outputs were adjusted and used in stage three. In stage three, BCC-O model was conducted using adjusted output and original input data. The DEA and SFA analysis were conducted with DEAP version 2.1 and STATA software version 11....
