Monotonic regression based on Bayesian P-splines: an application to estimating price response functions from store-level scanner data [PDF]
Generalized additive models have become a widely used instrument for flexible regression analysis. In many practical situations, however, it is desirable to restrict the flexibility of nonparametric estimation in order to accommodate a presumed monotonic

A generation method for completely monotone functions
In this article we present technique how to produce completely monotone functions using linear functionals and already known families of completely monotone functions. After that, using mean value theorems, we construct means of Cauchy type that have monotonicity properties.

The Best Bounds in Gautschi-Kershaw Inequalities [PDF]
By employing the convolution theorem of Laplace transforms, some asymptotic formulas and integral representations of the gamma, psi and polygamma functions, and other analytic techniques, this note provides an alternative proof of a monotonicity and ...

ABSTRACT Background Patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis commonly experience reduced physical function, fatigue, poor sleep quality, and impaired health‐related quality of life. Intradialytic exercise has been proposed as a non‐pharmacological strategy to improve these outcomes.

Wendel-Gautschi-Kershaw's Inequalities and Sufficient and Necessary Conditions that a Class of Functions Involving Ratio of Gamma Functions are Logarithmically Completely Monotonic [PDF]
In the article, sufficient and necessary conditions that a class of functions involving ratio of Euler’s gamma functions and originating from Wendel-Gautschi-Kershaw’s double inequalities are logarithmically completely monotonic are presented.

Long‐Term Follow‐Up of Chemotherapy‐Associated Biological Aging in Women With Early Breast Cancer
Women threated with adjuvant chemotherapy for early breast cancer have sustained long‐term increase in p16INK4a,, a robust marker of cell senescence, suggesting a chemotherapy‐associated age acceleration. p16INK4a as well as other biomarkers may identify patients at greatest risk for senescence‐related diseases of aging.

Generalizations of a weighted trapezoidal inequality for monotonic functions and applications [PDF]
In this paper we establish some generalizations of a weighted trapezoidal inequality for monotonic functions and give several applications for the r -moments, the expectation of a continuous random variable and the Beta and Gamma functions.

ABSTRACT Objective Digital technologies hold promise for transforming healthcare by enhancing personalized treatments and offer valuable opportunities to improve patient care. Here, we evaluated several novel, self‐administered, home‐based, digital endpoints for their association with corresponding conventional standard clinical measures (primary) in ...
