Optimization of Probability Density Functions Applicable for Hourly Rainfall

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2023
In order to improve the calculation accuracy of the rainfall probability distribution in related applications, this study aimed to select a theoretical function from applicable functions for three classes of the class-conditional probability density ...

Global Fits of Parton Distributions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
I discuss recent developments in the determination of parton distributions from global fits. I concentrate on the errors associated with these parton distributions and with the physical quantities which are determined in terms of them. I outline the various techniques used to quantify the uncertainties due to errors on experimental data used in the ...

Fitting parametric sets to probability distributions

open access: yesActa et Commentationes Universitatis Tartuensis de Mathematica, 2004
We consider the problem of approximation of distributions by sets. Given a probability P on a metric space (S,d) and a class A of subsets of S, find an approximative set A∈ A that minimizes the mean discrepancy of a random point X ∼ P from the set A:  W(A,P) = ∫Sφ(d(x,A))P(dx) → min A∈ A. We are especially interested in the case of ...

Sickle Cell Disease Is an Inherent Risk for Asthma in a Sibling Comparison Study

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Sickle cell disease (SCD) and asthma share a complex relationship. Although estimates vary, asthma prevalence in children with SCD is believed to be comparable to or higher than the general population. Determining whether SCD confers an increased risk for asthma remains challenging due to overlapping symptoms and the ...

Psychosocial Outcomes in Patients With Endocrine Tumor Syndromes: A Systematic Review

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction The combination of disease manifestations, the familial burden, and varying penetrance of endocrine tumor syndromes (ETSs) is unique. This review aimed to portray and summarize available data on psychosocial outcomes in patients with ETSs and explore gaps and opportunities for future research and care.

Informative goodness-of-fit for multivariate distributions [PDF]

open access: yesElectronic Journal of Statistics, 2021
This article introduces an informative goodness-of-fit (iGOF) approach to study multivariate distributions. When the null model is rejected, iGOF allows us to identify the underlying sources of mismodeling and naturally equips practitioners with additional insights on the nature of the deviations from the true distribution. The informative character of

Nutritional and Behavioral Intervention for Long‐Term Childhood Acute Leukemia Survivors With Metabolic Syndrome

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a common complication in survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic and myeloid leukemia (AL), and a major risk factor for premature cardiovascular disease, type‐2‐diabetes, and metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD).

How to use MATLAB to fit the ex-Gaussian and other probability functions to a distribution of response times [PDF]

open access: yesTutorials in Quantitative Methods for Psychology, 2008
This article discusses how to characterize response time (RT) frequency distributions in terms of probability functions and how to implement the necessary analysis tools using MATLAB.

Fitness Distributions in Exponentially Growing Asexual Populations

open access: yesPhysical Review Letters, 2003
We explore a mean-field model for the evolution of exponentially growing populations of mutating replicators. Motivated by recent in vitro experiments devised to analyze phenotypic properties of bacterial and viral populations subjected to serial population transfers, we allow our in silico individuals to undergo unrestricted growth before applying ...
