Mean-of-Order-p Location-Invariant Extreme Value Index Estimation
Revstat Statistical Journal, 2016 A simple generalisation of the classical Hill estimator of a positive extreme value index (EVI) has been recently introduced in the literature. Indeed, the Hill estimator can be regarded as the logarithm of the mean of order p = 0 of a certain set of ...

Extreme Value Theory for Tail-Related Risk Measures [PDF]
Many fields of modern science and engineering have to deal with events which are rare but have significant consequences. Extreme value theory is considered to provide the basis for the statistical modeling of such extremes. The potential of extreme value

Impact of Positive Lifestyle Behaviors on Direct Health Care Cost Savings for Low Back Pain
Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective This study aimed to investigate the relationship between a previously purpose‐developed lifestyle behavior scale and health care cost savings related to low back pain (LBP). Methods This longitudinal study used data from the Australian Twin Back (AUTBACK) study. LBP and lifestyle behavior measures were collected at baseline. Physical activity

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective Ultrasound (US) has been proposed as a potential tool for assessing skin fibrosis in systemic sclerosis (SSc). However, a large‐scale comparison of US‐based assessment with histologic markers of skin fibrosis has not been reported. We evaluated US‐based skin assessments for their face validity (differentiation between involved SSc and healthy
