A Nested Test for Common Yield Distributions with Applications to U.S. Corn

Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, 2013
We propose the use of maximum-entropy techniques to nest and test the functional form of commonly used yield densities. We demonstrate how common parametric yield models can be nested within a maximum-entropy framework and subsequently tested for using ...

On the Noncentral Beta-Distribution

The Annals of Mathematical Statistics, 1955
A computing formula for the noncentral beta-distribution recently published by Nicholson is simplified. A table of figurate numbers is provided to facilitate the use of the simplified formula. It is compared for ease of use with the method of Tang in several situations.

Early Impact of Childhood Opportunity on Neurocognitive Outcomes in Sickle Cell Disease

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Neurocognitive impairment is a well‐recognized complication of sickle cell disease (SCD) that begins early in childhood and persists across development. While cerebrovascular injury contributes substantially to risk, neurocognitive deficits are also observed in children without overt or silent cerebral infarctions, suggesting ...

Beta Type 3 Distribution and Its Multivariate Generalization [PDF]

, 2015
[[abstract]]The beta type 3 distribution has been obtained from the beta type 1 distribution by means of variable transformation. The beta type 3 distribution which is defined on bounded interval may serve as an alternative to the beta type 1 ...

A Generalization of the Beta-Distribution

The Annals of Mathematical Statistics, 1959
A class of distributions is defined and studied which includes as particular cases (cf. Section 13) the ordinary $\beta$-distribution, the (univariate) triangular distribution, the uniform distribution over any nondegenerate simplex, and a continuous range of other distributions over such a simplex, called basic $\beta$-distributions (Section 6) and ...

Psychosocial Functioning After Pediatric Bone Sarcoma: Generic and Survivor‐Specific Outcomes in Adolescent and Young Adult Patients

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pediatric bone sarcoma patients and survivors may experience psychosocial challenges related to childhood cancer after their intensive, body‐altering treatment. This cross‐sectional study aimed to evaluate generic and survivor‐specific psychosocial outcomes in a national cohort of pediatric bone sarcoma patients and survivors, and ...

Association Between Dinutuximab Beta Exposure and Post‐End‐of‐Treatment Survival in Neuroblastoma: A Weighted Patient‐Level Analysis of Three Clinical Studies

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives The association between exposure to dinutuximab beta (DB) and event‐free survival (EFS) or overall survival (OS) of neuroblastoma patients was assessed using data collected during three clinical trials (five cohorts). Methods A systematic review (March 2026) was conducted to identify relevant studies (prospective; registered DB ...

Modeling Stochastic Crop Yield Expectations with a Limiting Beta Distribution [PDF]

, 2011
The use of plausible stochastic price processes in price risk analysis has allowed advances not seen in crop yield risk analysis. This study develops a stochastic process for yield modeling and risk management.

Modelling Productivity Loss from Heat Stress

Atmosphere, 2018
Workers exposed to high ambient temperatures, either indoors or out, work slower. The few studies that have measured this loss of productivity show a degree of consistency across widely varying settings.

Solid Pseudopapillary Neoplasm of the Pancreas in Children and Adolescents: Expert Recommendations

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas (SPN) is a rare low‐grade malignant exocrine pancreatic tumor, mostly discovered during the second decade of life in females, with a very good prognosis, provided microscopically complete surgical excision is achieved.
