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 ...

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 ...

$n$-digit Benford converges to Benford [PDF]
Using the sum invariance property of Benford random variables, we prove that an $n$-digit Benford variable converges to a Benford variable as $n$ approaches infinity.Comment: 5 pages, 1 ...

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 ...

On an Asymptotic Series of Ramanujan [PDF]
An asymptotic series in Ramanujan's second notebook (Entry 10, Chapter 3) is concerned with the behavior of the expected value of $\phi(X)$ for large $\lambda$ where $X$ is a Poisson random variable with mean $\lambda$ and $\phi$ is a function satisfying

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

On Selberg-Type Square Matrices Integrals [PDF]
In this paper we consider Selberg-type square matrices integrals with focus on Kummer-beta types I & II integrals. For generality of the results for real normed division algebras, the generalized matrix variate Kummer-beta types I & II are defined under ...
