Quantitative System Risk Assessment From Incomplete Data With Belief Networks and Pairwise Comparison Elicitation

open access: yesRisk Analysis, Volume 45, Issue 11, Page 4014-4038, November 2025.
ABSTRACT A method for conducting Bayesian elicitation and learning in risk assessment is presented. It assumes that the risk process can be described as a fault tree. This is viewed as a belief network, for which prior distributions on primary event probabilities are elicited by means of a pairwise comparison approach.

Topological Entropy of Cournot-Puu Duopoly

open access: yesDiscrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, 2010
The aim of this paper is to analyze a classical duopoly model introduced by Tönu Puu in 1991. For that, we compute the topological entropy of the model and characterize those parameter values with positive entropy.

A Method for Ordering of LR-Type Fuzzy Numbers: An Important Decision Criteria

open access: yesAxioms, 2016
Methods for ordering fuzzy numbers play an important role as decision criteria, with applications in areas such as optimization and data mining, among others. Although there are several proposals for ordering methods in the fuzzy literature, many of them

Testing for the zero‐altered Poisson distribution with positive data

open access: yesStatistica Neerlandica, Volume 79, Issue 3, August 2025.
ABSTRACT This article proposes three new goodness‐of‐fit tests for the zero‐altered Poisson distribution, or equivalently for the positive Poisson distribution, based on positive data, that is, data truncated at 0, whose test statistic is built using a characterization of this law.

Describing the Dynamics and Complexity of Matsumoto-Nonaka's Duopoly Model

open access: yesAbstract and Applied Analysis, 2013
We study the duopoly model proposed by Matsumoto and Nonaka (2006), in which two firms produce two complementary goods, and there are externalities of different signs.

On a Variational Method for Stiff Differential Equations Arising from Chemistry Kinetics

open access: yesMathematics, 2019
For the approximation of stiff systems of ODEs arising from chemistry kinetics, implicit integrators emerge as good candidates. This paper proposes a variational approach for this type of systems.

Total Distance Walked After Hip Surgery Identifies Older Patients With Sarcopenia

open access: yesNursing &Health Sciences, Volume 27, Issue 2, June 2025.
ABSTRACT This study aims to determine the optimal cut‐off point for total walking distance on the day of hospital discharge to identify older adults at high risk of sarcopenia following hip fracture surgery. A prospective observational study included 135 patients aged > 65 years who underwent hip fracture surgery.
