Young-onset type 2 diabetes mellitus - implications for morbidity and mortality.

TL;DR: The evidence pertaining to young-onset T2DM and its current and future burden of disease in terms of incidence and prevalence in both developed and developing nations is reviewed, highlighting the need for prevention initiatives in these populations.

The epidemic of type 1 diabetes: what is it telling us?

TL;DR: Investigation into the source of the current epidemic of T1D has shed light on several possible causes, but has not provided definitive answers, yet.

Prevalence of Diagnosed and Undiagnosed Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Among US Adolescents: Results from the Continuous NHANES, 1999–2010

TL;DR: T2DM accounts for approximately half of adolescent diabetes in the United States, and one-third of these cases are undiagnosed, indicating that T2DM accounted for 43% of all cases.

Bayesian measures of model complexity and fit

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the problem of comparing complex hierarchical models in which the number of parameters is not clearly defined and derive a measure pD for the effective number in a model as the difference between the posterior mean of the deviances and the deviance at the posterior means of the parameters of interest, which is related to other information criteria and has an approximate decision theoretic justification.

General methods for monitoring convergence of iterative simulations

TL;DR: This work generalizes the method proposed by Gelman and Rubin (1992a) for monitoring the convergence of iterative simulations by comparing between and within variances of multiple chains, in order to obtain a family of tests for convergence.

Approximate is Better than “Exact” for Interval Estimation of Binomial Proportions

TL;DR: For example, this paper showed that using the adjusted Wald test with null rather than estimated standard error yields coverage probabilities close to nominal confidence levels, even for very small sample sizes, and that the 95% score interval has similar behavior as the adjusted-Wald interval obtained after adding two "successes" and two "failures" to the sample.

Bayesian image restoration, with two applications in spatial statistics

TL;DR: There has been much recent interest in Bayesian image analysis, including such topics as removal of blur and noise, detection of object boundaries, classification of textures, and reconstruction of two- or three-dimensional scenes from noisy lower-dimensional views as mentioned in this paper.

Rejoinder (Bayesian image restoration,with two applications in spatial statistics)

TL;DR: The present paper argues that many problems in the analysis of spatial data can be interpreted as problems of image restoration, since the amounts of data involved allow routine use of computer intensive methods, such as the Gibbs sampler, that are not yet practicable for conventional images.
