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 ...

About the exact simulation of bivariate (reciprocal) Archimax copulas
We provide an exact simulation algorithm for bivariate Archimax copulas, including instances with negative association. In contrast to existing simulation approaches, the feasibility of our algorithm is directly linked to the availability of an exact ...

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 [

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.

Laplace transform of certain functions with applications
The Laplace transform of the functions tν(1+t)β, Reν > −1, is expressed in terms of Whittaker functions. This expression is exploited to evaluate infinite integrals involving products of Bessel functions, powers, exponentials, and Whittaker functions. Some special cases of the result are discussed. It is also demonstrated that the famous identity∫0∞sin

A probablistic proof of the series representation of the MacDonald function with applications
A series representation of the Macdonald function is obtained using the properties of a probability density function and its moment generating function. Some applications of the result are discussed and an open problem is posed.

Modelling with star-shaped distributions
We prove and describe in great detail a general method for constructing a wide range of multivariate probability density functions. We introduce probabilistic models for a large variety of clouds of multivariate data points.

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 ...

On revelation transforms that characterize probability distributions
A characterization of exponential, geometric and of distributions with almost‐lack‐of‐memory property, based on the “revelation transform of probability distributions” and “relevation of random variables” is discussed. Known characterizations of the exponential distribution on the base of relevation transforms given by Grosswald et al. [4], and Lau and
