Probabilistic quality assurance of biopsy DVH thresholds in HDR prostate brachytherapy under localization uncertainty

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Background MR‐US guided biopsies support biologic correlation in HDR prostate brachytherapy, but steep dose gradients and millimeter‐scale localization uncertainty limit the validity of nominal biopsy doses. Purpose To assess how localization uncertainty affects the robustness of biopsy DVH dose thresholds in HDR prostate brachytherapy and to ...

A New Extention of the Odd Inverse Weibull-G Family of Distributions: Bayesian and Non-Bayesian Estimation with Engineering Applications

Computational Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences
In this work, we propose a novel generator called the "extended odd inverse Weibull-generator" to obtain better distribution flexibility. This generator is considered as a generalization of the three well-known families.

The Beta Generalized Inverse Weibull Distribution

British Journal of Mathematics & Computer Science, 2014
The beta generalized inverse Weibull distribution (BGIW) is suggested in this paper. The mathematical properties of the BGIW distribution are provided and the expression for the moment generating function is derived. Also, the analytical shapes of the corresponding probability density function, reliability function, hazard rate function, and mode are ...

Comparison of Different Methods for the Meta‐Analysis of Diagnostic Test Accuracy Studies—A Simulation Study

Biometrical Journal, Volume 68, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Meta‐analysis of diagnostic test accuracy studies aggregates information from multiple studies on sensitivity and specificity. Classical approaches select a single pair of sensitivity and specificity per study (single threshold methods, STM), ignoring additional information if studies report results on multiple diagnostic thresholds. Recently,

A Novel Entropy‐Transformed Inverse Weibull Distribution: Development, Properties, and Application in Diverse Data Modeling

Engineering Reports
Standard distributions must be improved to enhance their capacity for data modeling because they do not inherently suit all sorts of data sets in an acceptable manner.

Habitat fragmentation and amount drive within‐species variation in dispersal kernels and limit transferability across landscapes

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Dispersal is a key ecological trait that ensures connectivity, gene flow, and range dynamics, yet empirical information about how dispersal distances vary within species remains scarce. Many studies, investigating for instance connectivity conservation, use typical species‐specific dispersal kernels without accounting for the fact that these kernels ...

Food Gifting and Household Food Security

Review of Development Economics, Volume 30, Issue 3, Page 2054-2066, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Food gifting provides an important means of risk sharing in agrarian economies where farming households have limited access to formal credit and insurance markets. Food gifting is also an important source of food for households that are struggling with food scarcity.

Modeling COVID-19 Outcomes Using a New Extended Inverse Burr Distribution

Journal of Probability and Statistics
A new extension of the inverse Burr distribution, namely the extended odd-Weibull inverse Burr distribution (ExOW-IB), is proposed and defined. This new distribution is a member of the extended odd Weibull-G family.
