Fast and accurate recurrent event analysis for genome‐wide association studies
Abstract Many diseases recur after recovery, for example, recurrences in cancer and infections. However, research is often focused on analysing only time‐to‐first recurrence, thereby ignoring any subsequent recurrences that may occur after the first.

Abstract Background Patients with muscle‐invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) constitute a heterogenous group in terms of patient and tumour characteristics (‘case‐mix’) and prognosis. The aim of the current study was to investigate whether differences in survival could be used to separate MIBC patients into separate classes using a recently developed latent

Parameter Estimation of the Lognormal-Rician Channel Model Using Saddlepoint Approximation
In this article, the challenges of effective channel estimation for the lognormal-Rician turbulence model are addressed. We present a novel maximum likelihood estimation algorithm involving a saddlepoint approximation (SAP) method to estimate the shaping

Mathematical Modeling of Coolant Flow in Discontinuous Drilling Processes with Temperature Coupling
Abstract Nickel‐based alloys, like Inconel 718, are widely used in industrial applications due to their high‐temperature strength and high toughness. However, machining such alloys is a challenging task because of high thermal loads at the cutting edge and thus extensive tool wear is expected.

Autoregressive Lag—Order Selection Using Conditional Saddlepoint Approximations
A new method for determining the lag order of the autoregressive polynomial in regression models with autocorrelated normal disturbances is proposed. It is based on a sequential testing procedure using conditional saddlepoint approximations and permits ...

Approximate and estimated saddlepoint approximations [PDF]
AbstractClassical saddlepoint methods, which assume that the cumulant generating function is known, result in an approximation to the distribution that achieves an error of orderO(n−1). The authors give a general theorem to address the accuracy of saddlepoint approximations in which the cumulant generating function has been estimated or approximated ...

Saddlepoint approximation to the distribution of the total distance of the von Mises-Fisher continuous time random walk [PDF]
This article considers the random walk over Rp with any p ≥ 2, where a particle starts at the origin and progresses stepwise with fixed step lengths and von Mises–Fisher distributed step directions.

On the Coexistence of eMBB and URLLC in Multi-Cell Massive MIMO
The non-orthogonal coexistence between the enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) and the ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC) in the downlink of a multi-cell massive MIMO system is rigorously analyzed in this work. We provide a unified information-

Explaining the Saddlepoint Approximation [PDF]
Abstract Saddlepoint approximations are powerful tools for obtaining accurate expressions for densities and distribution functions. We give an elementary motivation and explanation of approximation techniques, starting with Taylor series expansions and progressing to the Laplace approximation of integrals.

Evaluating the Anderson-Darling Distribution
Except for n = 1, only the limit as n approaches infinity for the distribution of the Anderson-Darling test for uniformity has been found, and that in so complicated a form that published values for a few percentiles had to be determined by numerical ...
