Background – Because of the increased incidence of multidrug‐resistant (MDR) bacteria, the use of disinfectants over antibiotics has been encouraged. However, the interactions between disinfectants and host local immunity are poorly understood. Objective – To assess the effects of chlorhexidine digluconate (Chx), with and without selected host defence ...

Bayesian Inference for SIR Epidemic Model with dependent parameters
This paper is concerned with the Bayesian inference for the dependent parameters of stochastic SIR epidemic model in a closed population. The estimation framework involves the introduction of m − 1 latent data between every pair of observations. Kibble’s

On convergence of associative copulas and related results
Triggered by a recent article establishing the surprising result that within the class of bivariate Archimedean copulas 𝒞ar different notions of convergence - standard uniform convergence, convergence with respect to the metric D1, and so-called weak ...

The odd generalized exponential family of distributions with applications
We propose a new family of continuous distributions called the odd generalized exponential family, whose hazard rate could be increasing, decreasing, J, reversed-J, bathtub and upside-down bathtub.

New results on perturbation-based copulas
A prominent example of a perturbation of the bivariate product copula (which characterizes stochastic independence) is the parametric family of Eyraud-Farlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern copulas which allows small dependencies to be modeled.

The use of the exponential distribution and its multivariate generalizations is extremely popular in lifetime modeling. Freund’s bivariate exponential model (1961) is based on the idea that the remaining lifetime of any entity in a bivariate system is ...

As a motivating problem, we aim to study some special aspects of the marginal distributions of the order statistics for exchangeable and (more generally) for minimally stable non-negative random variables T1, ..., Tr. In any case, we assume that T1, ...,

Maximum asymmetry of copulas revisited
Motivated by the nice characterization of copulas A for which d∞(A, At) is maximal as established independently by Nelsen [11] and Klement & Mesiar [7], we study maximum asymmetry with respect to the conditioning-based metric D1 going back to Trutschnig [

The beta Marshall-Olkin family of distributions
We study general mathematical properties of a new generator of continuous distributions with three extra shape parameters called the beta Marshall-Olkin family. We present some special models and investigate the asymptotes and shapes.

Williamson’s integral representation of n-monotone functions on the half-line is generalized to several dimensions. This leads to a characterization of multivariate survival functions with multiply ℓ1- symmetry.
