International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2022 Birds are one of the groups involved in the development of Sarcocystis Lankester (1882), serving either as intermediate or definitive hosts. The white-tailed sea eagle Haliaeetus albicilla (Linnaeus, 1758), red kite Milvus milvus (Linnaeus, 1758) (both ...

Envenomation by the red-tailed coral snake (Micrurus mipartitus) in Colombia
Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2017 Background Although the red-tailed coral snake (Micrurus mipartitus) is widely distributed in Colombia and its venom is highly neurotoxic and life threatening, envenomation by this species is rare.

Detecting finiteness in the right endpoint of light-tailed distributions
Statistics & Probability Letters, 2010 In Extreme Value statistics we often encounter testing procedures for assessing the presence of the Gumbel domain, attached to the simple null hypothesis of shape parameter , thus praising the selection of extreme domains of attraction. However, the problem of assessing for light tailed distributions with finite or infinite right endpoint is seldom ...

On Minimizing the Ultimate Ruin Probability of an Insurer by Reinsurance
Journal of Applied Mathematics, 2018 We consider an insurance company whose reserves dynamics follow a diffusion-perturbed risk model. To reduce its risk, the company chooses to reinsure using proportional or excess-of-loss reinsurance.

Comparison of power of modified Jarque-Bera normality tests and selected tests of normality
Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2008 The aim of this paper is to modify the classical Jarque-Bera test and the robust Jarque-Bera test of normality. We use the median as an estimator instead of the mean in the classical Jarque-Bera test and in the robust Jarque-Bera test.

Shrinkage Methods for Estimating the Shape Parameter of the Generalized Pareto Distribution
Journal of Applied Mathematics, 2023 The generalized Pareto distribution is one of the most important distributions in statistics of extremes as it has wide applications in fields such as finance, insurance, and hydrology.
