On the Entropy of Sums of Bernoulli Random Variables via the Chen-Stein Method

open access: yes, 2012
This paper considers the entropy of the sum of (possibly dependent and non-identically distributed) Bernoulli random variables. Upper bounds on the error that follows from an approximation of this entropy by the entropy of a Poisson random variable with ...

Marked Long‐Term Improvement in Lung Function in Melanoma Differentiation–Associated Protein 5 Antibody–Positive Dermatomyositis Patients: Experience of a Single‐Center Longitudinal Cohort in North America

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective The objective of this study was to describe the longitudinal disease course and pulmonary outcomes of North American patients with melanoma differentiation–associated protein 5 (MDA5) antibody–associated dermatomyositis (DM). Methods Thirty patients with MDA5 antibody–associated DM were identified in a single‐center longitudinal cohort of 352

Poisson-like spiking in circuits with probabilistic synapses. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Computational Biology, 2014
Neuronal activity in cortex is variable both spontaneously and during stimulation, and it has the remarkable property that it is Poisson-like over broad ranges of firing rates covering from virtually zero to hundreds of spikes per second.

Critical behavior in inhomogeneous random graphs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We study the critical behavior of inhomogeneous random graphs where edges are present independently but with unequal edge occupation probabilities. The edge probabilities are moderated by vertex weights, and are such that the degree of vertex i is close ...

Developing and Evaluating a Laboratory‐Based Frailty Index for the Prediction of Long‐Term Health Outcomes in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective We aimed to construct and evaluate the first laboratory‐based frailty index (FI‐Lab) for predicting adverse outcomes in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and to compare its predictive ability to that of an existing clinical FI. Methods We used data from a single‐center prospective cohort of adult patients with SLE whose baseline visit ...

Scaling Limits of a Tandem Queue with Two Infinite Orbits

open access: yesMathematics, 2023
This paper considers a tandem queueing network with a Poisson arrival process of incoming calls, two servers, and two infinite orbits by the method of asymptotic analysis.

Group invariant inferred distributions via noncommutative probability

open access: yes, 2006
One may consider three types of statistical inference: Bayesian, frequentist, and group invariance-based. The focus here is on the last method. We consider the Poisson and binomial distributions in detail to illustrate a group invariance method for ...

Compound Poisson Approximation for Dissociated Random Variables via Stein's Method [PDF]

open access: yesCombinatorics, Probability and Computing, 1999
In the present paper we consider compound Poisson approximation by Stein's method for dissociated random variables. We present some applications to problems in system reliability. In particular, our examples have the structure of an incomplete U-statistics.

Investigation of Laser Ablation and Brush Pre‐Treatments for AlCu Cold Roll Bonding in Oxygen‐Free Conditions

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
It is shown that laser ablation pretreatment under oxygen‐free conditions enables copper–aluminium bonding at significantly lower deformation degrees and improved properties compared to mechanical brushing. Laser ablation further increases interface contact area and induces favourable residual stress states and microstructural compatibility ...

Existence, Uniqueness and Comparison Results for BSDEs with L\'evy Jumps in an Extended Monotonic Generator Setting

open access: yes, 2018
We show existence of a unique solution and a comparison theorem for a one-dimensional backward stochastic differential equation with jumps that emerge from a L\'evy process.
