Bayesian estimation of Lorenz curve, Gini-index and variance of logarithms in a Pareto distribution
Statistica, 2007 In this article, we estimate Lorenz curve, Gini-index and variance of logarithms for Pareto distribution using Bayesian framework with a conjugate prior.

A class of conjugate priors with applications to excess-of-loss reinsurance. [PDF]
Insurance: Mathematics and Economics, 1993 AbstractWe consider the problem of forecasting the total cost of claims in excess-of-loss reinsurance. The number of claims reported to the direct insurer is assumed to follow a Poisson law, and the claim severities are modelled by a Pareto distribution.

The unpredictably eruptive dynamics of spruce budworm populations in eastern Canada
Population Ecology, EarlyView.We examine historical population data for spruce budworm from several locations through the period 1930–1997, and use density‐dependent recruitment curves to test whether the pattern of population growth over time is more consistent with Royama's (1984; Ecological Monographs 54:429–462) linear R(t) model of harmonic oscillation at Green River New ...

X-ray structures of the signal recognition particle receptor reveal targeting cycle intermediates. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2007 The signal recognition particle (SRP) and its conjugate receptor (SR) mediate cotranslational targeting of a subclass of proteins destined for secretion to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane in eukaryotes or to the plasma membrane in prokaryotes ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) affects nearly one‐third of the global population and poses a significant risk of progression to cirrhosis or liver cancer. Here, we discuss the roles of hepatic dendritic cell subtypes in MASLD, highlighting their distinct contributions to disease initiation and progression, and their ...

An improved Bayes empirical Bayes estimator
International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 2003 Consider an experiment yielding an observable random quantity X whose distribution Fθ depends on a parameter θ with θ being distributed according to some distribution G0.

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2012 Background The first meningococcal serogroup C (MenC) conjugate vaccine was licensed in 1999 and introduced in the United Kingdom. Countries that have implemented the MenC vaccine since then in their national immunisation programmes use different ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.In lymphoid organs, antigen recognition and B cell receptor signaling rely on integrins and the cytoskeleton. Integrins act as mechanoreceptors, couple B cell receptor activation to cytoskeletal remodeling, and support immune synapse formation as well as antigen extraction.

On the Ubiquity of Information Inconsistency for Conjugate Priors
, 2017 Informally, "Information Inconsistency" is the property that has been observed in many Bayesian hypothesis testing and model selection procedures whereby the Bayesian conclusion does not become definitive when the data seems to become definitive. An example is that, when performing a t-test using standard conjugate priors, the Bayes factor of the ...

Social context prevents heat hormetic effects against mutagens during fish development
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This study shows that sublethal heat stress protects fish embryos against ultraviolet radiation, a concept known as ‘hormesis’. However, chemical stress transmission between fish embryos negates this protective effect. By providing evidence for the mechanistic molecular basis of heat stress hormesis and interindividual stress communication, this study ...
