Recursive Numerical Evaluation of the Cumulative Bivariate Normal Distribution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We propose an algorithm for evaluation of the cumulative bivariate normal distribution, building upon Marsaglia's ideas for evaluation of the cumulative univariate normal distribution.

Extensions of Stein's lemma for the skew-normal distribution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
When two random variables have a bivariate normal distribution, Stein's lemma (Stein, 1973, 1981), provides, under certain regularity conditions, an expression for the covariance of the first variable with a function of the second.

Clinical Insights Into Hypercalcemia of Malignancy in Childhood

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hypercalcemia of malignancy (HCM) is a rare but life‐threatening metabolic emergency in children that occurs in less than 1% of pediatric cancer cases, with a reported incidence ranging from 0.4% to 1.0% across different studies. While it is observed in 10%–20% of adult malignancies, pediatric HCM remains relatively uncommon.

Deformed Normal Distributions

open access: yesESAIM: Probability and Statistics
It is well known that the probability distribution of the product of two normal variables itself approaches a normal distribution if one of the factor variables has a low coefficient of variation. A related, but apparently somewhat neglected problem, is to find the conditional distribution of a factor variable when the product of two independent normal

Evaluating the Utility of Paired Tumor and Germline Targeted DNA Sequencing for Pediatric Oncology Patients: A Single Institution Report

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the diagnostic yield and utility of universal paired tumor–normal multigene panel sequencing in newly diagnosed pediatric solid and central nervous system (CNS) tumor patients and to compare the detection of germline pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants (PV/LPVs) against established clinical referral criteria for cancer ...

Performance of Three-Stage Sequential Estimation of the Normal Inverse Coefficient of Variation Under Type II Error Probability: A Monte Carlo Simulation Study

open access: yesFrontiers in Physics, 2020
This paper sheds light on the performance of the three-stage sequential estimation of the population inverse coefficient of variation of the normal distribution under a moderate sample size.

Log-normal distribution from a process that is not multiplicative but is additive

open access: yes, 2013
The central limit theorem ensures that a sum of random variables tends to a Gaussian distribution as their total number tends to infinity. However, for a class of positive random variables, we find that the sum tends faster to a log-normal distribution ...

On the Folded Normal Distribution

open access: yesMathematics, 2014
The characteristic function of the folded normal distribution and its moment function are derived. The entropy of the folded normal distribution and the Kullback–Leibler from the normal and half normal distributions are approximated using Taylor series ...

Statistical Treatment of Clinical Investigations in Pediatric Cardiology

open access: yesChildren, 2021
This paper describes various statistical methods used by the author during multiple studies conducted by the author. Initially, the data were scrutinized to ensure normal distribution, and expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD) or standard error of ...
