Fitting Phase-type Distributions via the EM Algorithm
TL;DR: An extended EM algorithm is used to minimize the information divergence (maximize the relative entropy) in the density approximation case and fits to Weibull, log normal, and Erlang distributions are used as illustrations of the latter.
Journal ArticleDOI
Glycaemic control and incidence of heart failure in 20 985 patients with type 1 diabetes: an observational study
Marcus Lind,Ioannis Bounias,Marita Olsson,Soffia Gudbjörnsdottir,Ann-Marie Svensson,Annika Rosengren +5 more
TL;DR: The positive association between HbA(1c) and risk of heart failure in fairly young patients with type 1 diabetes indicates a potential for prevention ofheart failure with improved glycaemic control.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dietary intake of fish, omega-3, omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids and vitamin D and the prevalence of psychotic-like symptoms in a cohort of 33,000 women from the general population
Maria Hedelin,Marie Löf,Marita Olsson,Marita Olsson,Tommy Lewander,Björn Nilsson,Christina M. Hultman,Christina M. Hultman,Elisabete Weiderpass,Elisabete Weiderpass +9 more
TL;DR: It is raised a possibility that adult women with a high intake of fish, omega-3 or omega-6 PUFA and vitamin D have a lower rate of psychotic-like symptoms.
Journal ArticleDOI
The relationship between glycaemic control and heart failure in 83,021 patients with type 2 diabetes
Marcus Lind,Marita Olsson,Annika Rosengren,Ann-Marie Svensson,I. Bounias,Soffia Gudbjörnsdottir +5 more
TL;DR: Poor glycaemic control (HbA1c >7% [53 mmol/mol]) is associated with an increased risk of hospitalisation for heart failure in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Particular variants of ligands for NK cell receptors encoded at three neighbouring genes in the HLA complex may contribute to PSC associations observed in this genetic region.
