Measuring inequality: application of semi-parametric methods to real life data
, 2017 A number of methods have been introduced in order to measure the inequality in various situations such as income and expenditure. In order to curry out statistical inference, one often needs to estimate the available measures of inequality.

Cold EI—The Way to Improve GC‐MS and Increase Its Range of Applications
Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry (GC‐MS) with Cold electron ionization (EI) is based on interfacing the GC and MS with a supersonic molecular beam (SMB) along with electron ionization of vibrationally cold sample compounds in the SMB in a contact‐free fly‐through ion source (hence the name Cold EI).

One family, six distributions -- A flexible model for insurance claim severity [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 We propose a new class of claim severity distributions with six parameters, that has the standard two-parameter distributions, the log-normal, the log-Gamma, the Weibull, the Gamma and the Pareto, as special cases. This distribution is much more flexible than its special cases, and therefore more able to to capture important characteristics of claim ...

Molecular Nutrition &Food Research, EarlyView.The aim of this study is to compare oats and rice as the main cereal source of a low‐gluten diet followed by metabolically challenged volunteers. The participants consumed four portions of either oat or rice products daily for 6 weeks and avoided glutinous cereals.

The joint distribution of the Parisian ruin time and the number of claims until Parisian ruin in the classical risk model [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 In this paper we propose new iterative algorithm of calculating the joint distribution of the Parisian ruin time and the number of claims until Parisian ruin for the classical risk model. Examples are provided when the generic claim size is exponentially distributed.

physica status solidi (RRL) – Rapid Research Letters, EarlyView.Combinatorial pulsed laser deposition accelerates materials discovery by enabling rapid synthesis of discrete materials libraries and compositionally graded thin films. With the lack of p‐type transparent amorphous oxide semiconductors, tailoring of device‐relevant properties of potential candidates is vital. In this regard, copper tin oxide thin films

On total claim amount for marked Poisson cluster models [PDF]
Journal of Applied Probability, Applied Probability Trust, In
press, 2019 We study the asymptotic distribution of the total claim amount for marked Poisson cluster models. The marks determine the size and other characteristics of the individual claims and potentially influence arrival rate of the future claims. We find sufficient conditions under which the total claim amount satisfies the central limit theorem or ...

CH4 Decomposition on Nickel Phyllosilicate: Switching from Tip to Base Growth of Carbon Nanotubes
Small, EarlyView.Nickel phyllosilicate is an excellent catalyst precursor for CH4 decomposition, forming small and strongly anchored nickel nanoparticles that promote base‐growth of carbon nanotubes and hydrogen production. The catalyst resists sintering at even 750 °C.

Asymptotic behavior of the finite-time expected time-integrated negative part of some risk processes and optimal reserve allocation [PDF]
In the renewal risk model, we study the asymptotic behavior of the expected time-integrated negative part of the process. This risk measure has been introduced by Loisel (2005).

Designing an Optimal Bonus--Malus System Using the Number of Reported Claims, Steady-State Distribution, and Mixture Claim Size Distribution [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 This article, in a first step, considers two Bayes estimators for the relativity premium of a given Bonus--Malus system. It then develops a linear relativity premium that closes, in the sense of weighted mean square error loss, to such Bayes estimators.
