Pediatric Nurses' Death Anxiety And Level Of Comfort In Approaching Families Of Dying Children, Elizabeth J. Cook

Masters Theses

The purpose of this study is to examine how demographics; bereavement education; personal death anxiety; and frequency of interaction with death and dying; impact the level of comfort pediatric nurses have in approaching families of dying children.

"If we view this book as furnishing an account of God's personal dealings with her, and of the trying disciplinary steps she was compelled to take in her preparation for the work for which her Father was preparing her, ti is full of most valuable lessons to those who are willing to lay all upon God's altar and to live for His glory alone.

Estimation Of A Non-Parametric Variable Importance Measure Of A Continuous Exposure, Chambaz Antoine, Pierre Neuvial, Mark J. Van Der Laan Oct 2011

Estimation Of A Non-Parametric Variable Importance Measure Of A Continuous Exposure, Chambaz Antoine, Pierre Neuvial, Mark J. Van Der Laan

U.C. Berkeley Division of Biostatistics Working Paper Series

We define a new measure of variable importance of an exposure on a continuous outcome, accounting for potential confounders. The exposure features a reference level x0 with positive mass and a continuum of other levels. For the purpose of estimating it, we fully develop the semi-parametric estimation methodology called targeted minimum loss estimation methodology (TMLE) [van der Laan & Rubin, 2006; van der Laan & Rose, 2011]. We cover the whole spectrum of its theoretical study (convergence of the iterative procedure which is at the core of the TMLE methodology; consistency and asymptotic normality of the estimator), practical implementation, simulation …
