Image based statistical process monitoring via partial first order stochastic dominance

Quality Engineering, 2021
The continuously evolving digitalized manufacturing industry is pushing quality engineers to face new and complex challenges. Quality data formats are evolving from simple univariate or multivariate characteristics to big data streams consisting of sequences of images and videos in the visible or infrared range; manufacturing processes are moving from ...

Consistent Testing for Stochastic Dominance: A Subsampling Approach [PDF]

We study a very general setting, and propose a procedure for estimating the critical values of the extended Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests of First and Second Order Stochastic Dominance due to McFadden (1989) in the general k-prospect case.

Anomaly in decision making under risk: Violation of stochastic dominance among farmers in Gujarat, India

IIMB Management Review, 2018
We investigate farmers’ decision making under risk by eliciting their willingness to pay for hypothetical risky income distributions. We also investigate whether farmers behave differently to price and yield risk.

RSD: An R package to calculate stochastic dominance

SoftwareX
Stochastic dominance is a classical method for comparing two random variables using their probability distribution functions. As for all stochastic orders, stochastic dominance does not always establish an order between the random variables, and almost ...

On the existence of certainty equivalents of various relevant types

Journal of Applied Mathematics, 2003
We tackle the problem of associating certainty equivalents with preferences over stochastic situations, which arises in a number of different fields (e.g., the theory of risk attitudes or the analysis of stochastic cooperative games).

Stability and sensitivity analysis of stochastic programs with second order dominance constraints [PDF]

, 2010
In this paper we present stability and sensitivity analysis of a stochastic optimization problem with stochastic second order dominance constraints. We consider perturbation of the underlying probability measure in the space of regular measures equipped ...

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an

Individual and group decision making under risk: An experimental study of Bayesian updating and violations of first-order stochastic dominance [PDF]

Journal of Risk and Uncertainty, 2006
In this paper, we report the results of experiments designed to test whether individuals and groups abide by the axioms of monotonicity, with respect to first-order stochastic dominance and Bayesian updating, when making decisions in the face of risk. The results indicate a significant number of violations of both principles.

Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...

Long-term X-Ray Outburst in the TeV-detected Blazar Mrk 501 in 2021–2022: Further Clues for the Emission and Unstable Processes

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023
This paper presents the results of a detailed X-ray timing and spectral analysis of Mrk 501, which are based mainly on the Swift data obtained during 2021 February–2022 December. The source showed strongly enhanced X-ray activity, characterized by a long-
