Bayes and Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Uncertainty Measure of the Inverse Weibull Distribution under Generalized Adaptive Progressive Hybrid Censoring

Mathematics, 2022
The inverse Weibull distribution (IWD) can be applied to a various situations, including applications in reliability and medicine. In a reliability and medicine test, it is generally known that the results of test units may not be recorded. Recently, the

Adaptive importance sampling simulation of queueing networks [PDF]

2000 Winter Simulation Conference Proceedings (Cat. No.00CH37165), 2002
In this paper, a method is presented for the efficient estimation of rare-event (overflow) probabilities in Jackson queueing networks using importance sampling. The method differs in two ways from methods discussed in most earlier literature: the change of measure is state-dependent, i.e., it is a function of the content of the buffers, and the change ...

A Quality Improvement Initiative to Standardize Pneumocystis jirovecii Pneumonia Prophylaxis in Pediatric Patients With Solid Tumors

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pediatric patients with extracranial solid tumors (ST) receiving chemotherapy are at an increased risk for Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP). However, evidence guiding prophylaxis practices in this population is limited. A PJP‐related fatality at our institution highlighted inconsistent prescribing approaches and concerns about

Refined Aircraft Positioning Based on Stochastic Hybrid Estimation with Adaptive Square-Root Unscented Particle Filtering

Aerospace
The positioning of civil aviation aircraft relative to a geographic reference point on Earth in a Cartesian frame is significant to detect the deviations from the desired path, especially for high-altitude airports or special airports based on ...

Analysis of Reliability Characteristics of Bathtub-Shaped Distribution Under Adaptive Type-I Progressive Hybrid Censoring

IEEE Access, 2020
In reliability and life testing experiments, obtaining complete data still consumes lots of time, financial and human supports. A censoring scheme which can have balance between the total testing time, the used number of units and cost in life tests is ...

The Square Root Rule for Adaptive Importance Sampling [PDF]

ACM Transactions on Modeling and Computer Simulation, 2020
In adaptive importance sampling and other contexts, we haveK> 1 unbiased and uncorrelated estimates μ^kof a common quantity μ. The optimal unbiased linear combination weights them inversely to their variances, but those weights are unknown and hard to estimate.

Psychosocial Outcomes in Patients With Endocrine Tumor Syndromes: A Systematic Review

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction The combination of disease manifestations, the familial burden, and varying penetrance of endocrine tumor syndromes (ETSs) is unique. This review aimed to portray and summarize available data on psychosocial outcomes in patients with ETSs and explore gaps and opportunities for future research and care.
