Concerns for Equity and the Optimal Co-Payments for Publicly Provided Health Care [PDF]
In countries where health care is publicly provided and where equity considerations play an important role in policy decisions, it is often argued that an increase in co-payments is unacceptable as it will be particularly harmful to the less well-off in ...

Some Results on Regularization of LSQR and CGLS for Large-Scale Discrete Ill-Posed Problems [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 For large-scale discrete ill-posed problems, LSQR, a Lanczos bidiagonalization process based Krylov method, is most often used. It is well known that LSQR has natural regularizing properties, where the number of iterations plays the role of the regularization parameter.

Improving Fast Dual Ascent for MPC - Part II: The Embedded Case [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 Recently, several authors have suggested the use of first order methods, such as fast dual ascent and the alternating direction method of multipliers, for embedded model predictive control. The main reason is that they can be implemented using simple arithmetic operations only.

Classification of ill-posedness for bounded linear operators in Banach spaces [PDF]
arXivIn this article, concepts of well- and ill-posedness for linear operators in Hilbert and Banach spaces are discussed. While these concepts are well understood in Hilbert spaces, this is not the case in Banach spaces, as there are several competing definitions, related to the occurrence of uncomplemented subspaces.

Modelling of lung cancer survival data for critical illness insurances [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 We derive a general multiple state model for critical illness insurances. In contrast to the classical model, we take into account that the probability of death for a dread disease sufferer may depend on the duration of the disease, and the payment of benefits associated with a severe disease depends not only on the diagnosis but also on the disease ...

A retrospective study on the effects of illness severity and atrial fibrillation on outcomes in the intensive care unit [PDF]
, 2013 Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common in patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) and has been associated with worse outcomes. However, it is unclear whether AF itself adds to the risk of death or is merely a marker of illness severity ...
