On Generalized Upper(k)Record Values From Weibull Distribution

open access: yesStatistica, 2015
In this paper we study the generalized upper(k)record values arising from Weibull distribution. Expressions for the moments and product moments of those generalized upper(k)record values  are derived.

Extreme Event Statistics in a Drifting Markov Chain

open access: yes, 2017
We analyse extreme event statistics of experimentally realized Markov chains with various drifts. Our Markov chains are individual trajectories of a single atom diffusing in a one dimensional periodic potential.

Robust Group Linkage [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We study the problem of group linkage: linking records that refer to entities in the same group. Applications for group linkage include finding businesses in the same chain, finding conference attendees from the same affiliation, finding players from the

On weighted cumulative past (residual) inaccuracy for record values

open access: yesJournal of Inequalities and Applications, 2019
In this paper, we propose the weighted cumulative past (residual) inaccuracy for record values. For this concept, we obtain some properties and characterization results such as relationships with other reliability functions, bounds, stochastic ordering ...

Record Values and Maxima

open access: yesThe Annals of Probability, 1973
$\{X_n, n \geqq 1\}$ are $\operatorname{i.i.d.}$ random variables with continuous $\operatorname{df} F(x). X_j$ is a record value of this sequence if $X_j > \max \{X_1,\cdots, X_{j-1}\}$. We compare the behavior of the sequence of record values $\{X_{L_n}\}$ with that of the sample maxima $\{M_n\} = \{\max (X_1,\cdots, X_n)\}$.

A Quality Improvement Initiative to Standardize Pneumocystis jirovecii Pneumonia Prophylaxis in Pediatric Patients With Solid Tumors

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pediatric patients with extracranial solid tumors (ST) receiving chemotherapy are at an increased risk for Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP). However, evidence guiding prophylaxis practices in this population is limited. A PJP‐related fatality at our institution highlighted inconsistent prescribing approaches and concerns about

Sickle Cell Disease Is an Inherent Risk for Asthma in a Sibling Comparison Study

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Sickle cell disease (SCD) and asthma share a complex relationship. Although estimates vary, asthma prevalence in children with SCD is believed to be comparable to or higher than the general population. Determining whether SCD confers an increased risk for asthma remains challenging due to overlapping symptoms and the ...

Characterizations of exponential distribution via conditional expectations of record values [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We prove that the exponential distribution is the only one which satisfies a regression identity. This identity involves conditional expectation of the sample mean of record values given two record values outside of the ...

Exact statistics of record increments of random walks and L\'evy flights

open access: yes, 2016
We study the statistics of increments in record values in a time series $\{x_0=0,x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_n\}$ generated by the positions of a random walk (discrete time, continuous space) of duration $n$ steps.

Pazopanib Combined With Vincristine and Irinotecan in Relapsed Wilms Tumor: Encouraging Outcomes in a Heavily Pretreated Pediatric Cohort

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background While Wilms tumor (WT) typically has a favorable prognosis, relapsed cases—especially those with high‐risk histology—remain therapeutically challenging after intensive frontline therapy. The combination of vincristine and irinotecan has demonstrated activity in pediatric solid tumors, and pazopanib, a multi‐targeted tyrosine kinase ...
