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 ...

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 ...

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.

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, ...,

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

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.

On quantile based co-risk measures and their estimation
Conditional Value-at-Risk (CoVaR) is defined as the Value-at-Risk of a certain risk given that the related risk equals a given threshold (CoVaR=) or is smaller/larger than a given threshold ...

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 ...
