Information Design for Early‐Stage Dose‐Finding Trials

Naval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To enhance enrollment rates in early‐stage dose‐finding clinical trials, we propose an information design approach, where the clinical investigator (CI) commits to an information releasing mechanism (IRM) based on the treatment's uncertain efficacy and toxicity to encourage patients to participate in the trial.

Optimal Designs and Inspection Time Decisions for Gamma Accelerated Degradation Tests

Naval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study analytically derives optimal designs for gamma accelerated degradation tests while incorporating inspection time as a design variable under both D‐ and V‐optimality criteria. Under D‐optimality, we prove that the optimal design allocates test units exclusively to the lowest and highest stress levels and adopts the longest inspection

Parabolic Littlewood-Paley inequality for a class of time-dependent operators of arbitrary order, and applications to higher order stochastic PDE

, 2015
In this paper we prove a parabolic version of the Littlewood-Paley inequality for a class of time-dependent local and non-local operators of arbitrary order, and as an application we show this inequality gives a fundamental estimate for the $L_p$-theory of the stochastic partial differential equations.

A Chance‐Constrained Model for a Production Routing Problem With Uncertain Availability of Vehicles

Networks, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Production Routing Problem (PRP) is a complex integrated problem that allows for the achievement of competitive advantages, such as better management of inventory, reduction in operational costs and lead times, improvement in efficiency and customer service, and better response to market changes.

Stochastic inequalities involving past extropy of order statistics and past extropy of record values

AIMS Mathematics
<abstract><p>Recently, extropy has emerged as an alternative measure of uncertainty instead of entropy. When it comes to quantifying uncertainty regarding the remaining lifetime of a component, entropy has proven to be less effective. Therefore, the concept of residual entropy was introduced to address this limitation.

Optimal Control Analysis of Vertically Transmitted Infectious Diseases With Saturated Incidence and Nonlinear Treatment

Optimal Control Applications and Methods, EarlyView.
Schematic representation of the proposed disease transmission model incorporating vertical transmission, saturated incidence, and nonlinear treatment. The study combines theoretical analysis, bifurcation and stability investigations, and optimal control techniques to evaluate prevention and treatment interventions.

Area‐restricted search under realistic constraints

Oikos, EarlyView.
Abstract Area‐restricted search (ARS) is one of the most influential and widely used concepts in foraging theory, capturing a simple rule by which animals intensify local search following a resource encounter. Because ARS performs well in many spatially structured environments, it serves as a basic model for interpreting movement patterns across taxa ...

Age Replacement for Balanced Systems Under Mission Durations

Quality and Reliability Engineering International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT With advances in technology, systems such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) and planetary landing vehicles whose operation requires maintaining balance across sectors have attracted increasing attention within the balanced systems literature.

How Does Our Degrading System Perform?

Quality and Reliability Engineering International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We discuss the quality of performance of degrading systems when degradation is modeled by a stochastic process with independent increments and increasing sample paths. As an example, the gamma process is considered. First, for the continuously observed degradation, by comparing with the black‐box scenario (without observing degradation), the ...
