Transportability Analyses in Comparative Effectiveness Research: A Conceptual Framework and Methodological Principles Endorsed by the International Society for Pharmacoepidemiology. [PDF]
Pharmacoepidemiol Drug SafABSTRACT The Problem Transportability considerations are increasingly important to answer research questions in comparative effectiveness research (CER) to support the transfer of evidence on medicinal products across countries or settings. As drug development costs rise and healthcare systems and professionals face economic and resource pressures ...

Applications of Nonstandard Analysis to Markov Processes and Statistical Decision Theory
, 2018 We use nonstandard analysis to significantly generalize the well-known Markov chain ergodic theorem and establish a fundamentally new complete class theorem, making progress on two core problems in stochastic process theory and statistical decision ...

Modelling Suicide‐Related Communication Dynamics: A Socio‐Cybernetic Framework for Governance
Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Suicide‐related phenomena (SPS) are often approached through individual‐level risk factors or moral framings, yet their population‐level dynamics depend critically on how ‘suicide’ becomes observable, circulates and is governed across functionally differentiated systems.

A Novel Approach to Energy Management in Electric Steelworks
steel research international, EarlyView.Feed‐forward neural networks are exploited to estimate electric energy consumptions of the electric arc furnace and ladle furnace processes. The models are used to optimize production schedule so that more energy intensive grades are produced when the cost of energy is lower.

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Precast reinforced concrete segmental linings are frequently used in modern tunneling. In these linings, the longitudinal joints typically have a reduced contact cross‐section and thus often govern the design, particularly in tunnels under high hydrostatic pressure or crossing squeezing or swelling ground with correspondingly high ...

"Market Efficiency of Oil Spot and Futures: A Stochastic Dominance Approach" [PDF]
This paper examines the market efficiency of oil spot and futures prices by using a stochastic dominance (SD) approach. As there is no evidence of an SD relationship between oil spot and futures, we conclude that there is no arbitrage opportunity between
