BAYESIAN HIGHEST POSTERIOR DENSITY INTERVALS FOR THE AVAILABILITY OF A SYSTEM WITH A 'REST-PERIOD' FOR THE REPAIR FACILITY

open access: yesThe South African Journal of Industrial Engineering, 2012
<p>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In this paper Bayesian estimation for the steady state availability of a one-unit system with a rest-period for the repair facility is studied. The assumption is that the repair facility takes rest with probability p after each repair completion and the facility does not take the same with probability (l - p).

Spatial modelling of claim frequency and claim size in insurance [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
In this paper models for claim frequency and claim size in non-life insurance are considered. Both covariates and spatial random e ects are included allowing the modelling of a spatial dependency pattern.

An Improved Approximate-Bayesian Model-choice Method for Estimating Shared Evolutionary History [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
To understand biological diversification, it is important to account for large-scale processes that affect the evolutionary history of groups of co-distributed populations of organisms.

Among-site variability in the stochastic dynamics of East African coral reefs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Coral reefs are dynamic systems whose composition is highly influenced by unpredictable biotic and abiotic factors. Understanding the spatial scale at which long-term predictions of reef composition can be made will be crucial for guiding conservation ...

A New Method to Measure the Post-Reionization Ionizing Background from the Joint Distribution of Lyman-$\alpha$ and Lyman-$\beta$ Forest Transmission [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The amplitude of the ionizing background that pervades the intergalactic medium (IGM) at the end of the epoch of reionization provides a valuable constraint on the emissivity of the sources which reionized the Universe. While measurements of the ionizing

Preliminary validation of a brief PROM assessing psychological distress in patients with malignant mesothelioma: The mesothelioma psychological distress tool—Patients

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2022
ObjectivePsychological suffering in malignant mesothelioma (MM) differs from that in other cancers because of its occupational etiology, and we aimed to develop specific patient-reported outcome measures to assess it.MethodsWe used a multi-method ...

The Bayesian confidence intervals for measuring the difference between dispersions of rainfall in Thailand [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2020
The coefficient of variation is often used to illustrate the variability of precipitation. Moreover, the difference of two independent coefficients of variation can describe the dissimilarity of rainfall from two areas or times.

Leveraging climate and remote sensing metrics for predicting forest carbon stock using Bayesian geostatistical modelling under a projected climate warming in Zimbabwe

open access: yesGlobal Environmental Change Advances
Climate change, driven by escalating carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, poses a significant threat to forest ecosystems and the livelihoods of communities reliant on them, especially for the global south countries and regions like the eastern highlands of ...

Statistical Uncertainties of the $N_\text{DW} = 1$ QCD Axion Mass Window from Topological Defects

open access: yesThe Open Journal of Astrophysics, 2022
We review results from QCD axion string and domain wall simulations and propagate the associated uncertainties into the calculation of the axion relic density.
