ABSTRACT Background Therapeutic apheresis (TA) is an established treatment modality for hematologic, neurologic, and immunologic disorders, yet access remains severely limited in sub‐Saharan Africa. Donor apheresis, including platelet apheresis collection from healthy donors, represents an important complementary modality supporting blood product ...

Regression-Based Methods for Using Control and Antithetic Variates in Monte Carlo Experiments [PDF]
Methods based on linear regression provide a very easy way to use the information in control and antithetic variates to improve the efficiency with which certain features of the distributions of estimators and test statistics are estimated in Monte Carlo

ABSTRACT Introduction Patients requiring long‐term continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) generally have poor prognoses. This study evaluated whether adding continuous intravenous sodium infusion (cIVNa) is associated with improved hemodynamics and outcomes in patients undergoing long‐term CRRT for ≥ 7 days.

Control variates for multivariate truncated probability density functions with application in system identification [PDF]
Monte Carlo methods are useful for computing numerical approximations of expected values, especially when these expectations cannot be computed analytically. Nevertheless, these methods depend on random sampling.

Multivariate Batch Means and Control Variates
We consider applying the nonoverlapping batch means output analysis method in conjunction with the control-variate variance-reduction technique to estimate a steady-state multivariate mean vector.

Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Static Hedging of Multivariate Derivatives by Simulation [PDF]
We propose an approximate static hedging procedure for multivariate derivatives. The hedging portfolio is composed of statically held simple univariate options, optimally weighted minimizing the variance of the difference between the target claim and the

Efficient sequential Monte Carlo with multiple proposals and control variates
Sequential Monte Carlo is a useful simulation-based method for on-line filtering of state space models. For certain complex state space models, a single proposal distribution is usually not satisfactory and using multiple proposal distributions is a ...
