Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper proposes an analysis model for a Generalized Gamma distribution, data is distributed based on the Generalized Linear Mixed Models. The authors estimate the parameters, construct the score test as well as the shrinkage estimation, and explore how to deal with the medical service assessment. The recovery curves are obtained with dynamic investigation data from the US Shriners Hospitals and achieved medical service assessment in the empirical analysis. The recovery curve can explore the recovery of the burned children visually and comprehensively. With this model it is easy to give a comprehensive assessment on burn recovery from different aspects such as physics, social psychology, and so on. The method proposed in this paper is also available in the comprehensive assessment which is generally used in a social research.
期刊介绍:
Studies on Ethno-Medicine is a peer reviewed, internationally circulated journal. It publishes reports of original research, theoretical articles, timely reviews, brief communications, book reviews and other publications in the interdisciplinary field of ethno-medicine. The journal serves as a forum for physical, social and life scientists as well as for health professionals. The transdisciplinary areas covered by this journal include, but are not limited to, Physical Sciences, Anthropology, Sociology, Geography, Life Sciences, Environmental Sciences, Botany, Agriculture, Home Science, Zoology, Genetics, Biology, Medical Sciences, Public Health, Demography and Epidemiology. The journal publishes basic, applied and methodologically oriented research from all such areas. The journal is committed to prompt review, and priority publication is given to manuscripts with novel or timely findings, and to manuscript of unusual interest. Further, the manuscripts are categorised under three types, namely - Regular articles, Short Communications and Reviews. The researchers are invited to submit original papers in English (papers published elsewhere or under consideration elsewhere shall not be considered).
