Micafungin is widely used for invasive candidiasis, especially in critically ill patients and those with cancer, and for empirical antifungal therapy in patients with neutropenic fever.

Efficient Sequential Monte Carlo Algorithms for Integrated Population Models [PDF]
State-space models are commonly used to describe different forms of ecological data. We consider the case of count data with observation errors. For such data the system process is typically multi-dimensional consisting of coupled Markov processes, where each component corresponds to a different characterisation of the population, such as age group ...

Bayesian Smoothing of Lung Cancer Data in Tirol, Salzburg and Vorarlberg
Due to the high variability ofML-estimates of relative risk in low population areas incidence ratios have to be smoothed before mapping. We fit a Bayesian hierarchical model where the posterior distribution of relative risks is simulated via a Markov ...

A population PK model of clindamycin orally administered to patients with prosthetic joint infections (PJIs) was developed using NONMEM 7.5. Monte-Carlo simulations were run to determine the probability of obtaining bone clindamycin concentrations equal ...

Characterizing the Sample Selection for Supernova Cosmology
Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are used as distance indicators to infer the cosmological parameters that specify the expansion history of the universe. Parameter inference depends on the criteria by which the analysis SN sample is selected.

Finite population-size effects in projection Monte Carlo methods [PDF]
Projection (Green's function and difFusion) Monte Carlo techniques sample a wave function by a stochastic iterative procedure. These methods converge to a stationary distribution which is biased, i.e., di8'ers from the exact ground state wave function. This bias occurs because of the use ofpopulation control procedures. We demonstrate that these biased

We compare three state-of-the-art Bayesian inference methods for the estimation of the unknown parameters in a stochastic model of a genetic network. In particular, we introduce a stochastic version of the paradigmatic synthetic multicellular clock model

Estimation of confidence intervals for decompositions and other complex demographic estimators
Background: While the use of standard errors and confidence intervals is common in regression-based studies in the population sciences, it is far less common in studies using formal demographic measures and methods, including demographic decompositions.

Measuring free energy in parallel tempering Monte Carlo
An efficient approach of measuring the absolute free energy in parallel tempering Monte Carlo using the exponential averaging method is discussed and the results are compared with those of population annealing Monte Carlo using the three-dimensional ...
