Statistical Power Law due to Reservoir Fluctuations and the Universal Thermostat Independence Principle

Entropy, 2014
Certain fluctuations in particle number, \(n\), at fixed total energy, \(E\), lead exactly to a cut-power law distribution in the one-particle energy, \(\omega\), via the induced fluctuations in the phase-space volume ratio, \(\Omega_n(E-\omega)/\Omega_n(

A mixed effect model for bivariate meta-analysis of diagnostic test accuracy studies using a copula representation of the random effects distribution [PDF]

, 2015
Diagnostic test accuracy studies typically report the number of true positives, false positives, true negatives and false negatives. There usually exists a negative association between the number of true positives and true negatives, because studies that

A mechanistic model for the negative binomial distribution of single-cell mRNA counts

bioRxiv, 2019
Several tools analyze the outcome of single-cell RNA-seq experiments, and they often assume a probability distribution for the observed sequencing counts. It is an open question of which is the most appropriate discrete distribution, not only in terms of

Circular Polya distributions of order k

International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 2003
Two circular Polya distributions of order k are derived by means of generalized urn models and by compounding, respectively, the type I and type II circular binomial distributions of order k of Makri and Philippou (1994) with the beta distribution. It is

A vine copula mixed effect model for trivariate meta-analysis of diagnostic test accuracy studies accounting for disease prevalence [PDF]

, 2015
A bivariate copula mixed model has been recently proposed to synthesize diagnostic test accuracy studies and it has been shown that it is superior to the standard generalized linear mixed model in this context.

A beta-Poisson model for infectious disease transmission.

PLoS Computational Biology
Outbreaks of emerging and zoonotic infections represent a substantial threat to human health and well-being. These outbreaks tend to be characterised by highly stochastic transmission dynamics with intense variation in transmission potential between ...

Modelagem da ocorrência e da quantidade de chuva em Piracicaba Modeling of occurrence and rain amount in Piracicaba

Scientia Agricola, 1995
É proposto um modelo para descrever chuva diária de Piracicaba-SP em termos da sua ocorrência e da quantidade. Ambos, a ocorrência de dias com e sem chuva, quando considerados como seqüências de 31 dias a partir de determinada data, puderam ser bem ...
