Structural equation models for area health outcomes with model selection

Recent analyses seeking to explain variation in area health outcomes often consider the impact on them of latent measures (i.e. unobserved constructs) of population health risk. The latter are typically obtained by forms of multivariate analysis, with a small set of latent constructs derived from a collection of observed indicators, and a few recent area studies take such constructs to be spatially structured rather than independent over areas. A confirmatory approach is often applicable to the model linking indicators to constructs, based on substantive knowledge of relevant risks for particular diseases or outcomes. In this paper, population constructs relevant to a particular set of health outcomes are derived using an integrated model containing all the manifest variables, namely health outcome variables, as well as indicator variables underlying the latent constructs. A further feature of the approach is the use of variable selection techniques to select significant loadings and factors (especially in terms of effects of constructs on health outcomes), so ensuring parsimonious models are selected. A case study considers suicide mortality and self-harm contrasts in the East of England in relation to three latent constructs: deprivation, fragmentation and urbanicity.

A class of mean residual life regression models with censored survival data

When describing a failure time distribution, the mean residual life is sometimes preferred to the survival or hazard rate. Regression analysis making use of the mean residual life function has recently drawn a great deal of attention. In this paper, a class of mean residual life regression models are proposed for censored data, and estimation procedures and a goodness-of-fit test are developed. Both asymptotic and finite sample properties of the proposed estimators are established, and the proposed methods are applied to a cancer data set from a clinic trial.     

西部地区农民养老模式选择意愿的影响因素分析——基于有序Probit模型和结构方程模型的实证研究

基于微观调查数据,利用有序Probit模型和结构方程模型对影响中国西部地区农民养老模式选择意愿的因素进行了系统分析。研究发现：西部地区农民倾向于选择依靠家庭和自我相结合的养老模式。潜变量个人禀赋、家庭特征、认知程度对农民养老模式选择意愿的影响显著,而社区特征的影响不显著;可观测变量年龄、健康状况、文化程度、从事职业、家庭男孩数、家庭生活水平、是否听说过新农保、是否听说过商业养老保险等对农民养老模式选择意愿的影响显著,而性别、婚姻状况、个人年收入、家庭人口数、家庭女孩数、家庭劳动力数、家庭承包土地数、离最近公路距离、离最近县城距离等变量对农民养老模式选择意愿并无显著影响。
