Transcutaneous calf-muscle electro-stimulation : a prospective treatment for diabetic claudicants? [PDF]

, 2016
Background: First-line therapy for claudicants with diabetes include supervised exercise programmes to improve walking distance. However, exercise comes with a number of barriers and may be contraindicated in certain conditions. The aim of this study was

Bounds for the generalized ( Φ; f)-mean difference

Cubo, 2020
In this paper we establish some bounds for the \( (\Phi;f) \)-mean difference introduced in the general settings of measurable spaces and Lebesgue integral, which is a two functions generalization of Gini mean difference that has been widely used by ...

Subgaussian concentration inequalities for geometrically ergodic Markov chains [PDF]

, 2015
We prove that an irreducible aperiodic Markov chain is geometrically ergodic if and only if any separately bounded functional of the stationary chain satisfies an appropriate subgaussian deviation inequality from its ...

Bias-Corrected Root Mean Square Deviation Estimators

Foundations
The root mean square deviation (RMSD) is a widely used item fit statistic in item response models. However, the sample RMSD is known to exhibit positive bias in small samples. To address this, seven alternative bias-corrected RMSD estimators are proposed

A New Dispersion Control Chart for Handling the Neutrosophic Data

IEEE Access, 2020
The control chart based on mean deviation (MD ) is customary used as a robust alternative to the existing Shewhart control charts for observing changes in dispersion parameter of the process.

Extremal Lipschitz functions in the deviation inequalities from the mean

, 2013
We obtain an optimal deviation from the mean upper bound \begin{equation} D(x)\=\sup_{f\in \F}\mu\{f-\E_{\mu} f\geq x\},\qquad\ \text{for}\ x\in\R\label{abstr} \end{equation} where $\F$ is the class of the integrable, Lipschitz functions on probability ...

Lower deviation probabilities for supercritical Galton-Watson processes [PDF]

, 2005
There is a well-known sequence of constants c_n describing the growth of supercritical Galton-Watson processes Z_n. With 'lower deviation probabilities' we refer to P(Z_n=k_n) with k_n=o(c_n) as n increases.

On Kedlaya-type inequalities for weighted means

Journal of Inequalities and Applications, 2018
In 2016 we proved that for every symmetric, repetition invariant and Jensen concave mean M $\mathscr{M}$ the Kedlaya-type inequality A(x1,M(x1,x2),…,M(x1,…,xn))≤M(x1,A(x1,x2),…,A(x1,…,xn)) $$ \mathscr{A} \bigl(x_{1},\mathscr{M}(x_{1},x_{2}), \ldots ...

Monotone Mean L^p-Deviation Risk Measures

Mathematics, 2023
In this paper, we establish a new coherent risk measure on Lp, which we refer to as the monotone mean Lp-deviation risk measure. Then, the related properties are discussed.
