Hesitant Fuzzy-Stochastic Data Envelopment Analysis (HF-SDEA) Model for Benchmarking
The Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method is a method commonly used in benchmarking. The Dynamic Data Envelopment Analysis (DDEA) method was proposed to improve the DEA method in the benchmarking process.

Stochastic Material Point Method for Analysis in Non-Linear Dynamics of Metals
A stochastic material point method is proposed for stochastic analysis in non-linear dynamics of metals with varying random material properties. The basic random variables are parameters of equation of state and those of constitutive equation.

Estimates for multiple stochastic integrals and stochastic Hamilton-Jacobi equations [PDF]
We study stochastic Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations and the corresponding Hamiltonian systems driven by jump-type Lévy processes. The main objective of the present paper is to show existence, uniqueness and a (locally in time) diffeomorphism ...

A New Stochastic Model Updating Method Based on Improved Cross-Model Cross-Mode Technique
This paper proposes a new stochastic model updating method to update structural models based on the improved cross-model cross-mode (ICMCM) technique. This new method combines the stochastic hybrid perturbation-Galerkin method with the ICMCM method to ...

PRACTICAL STOCHASTIC MODEL FOR CHEMICAL KINETICS
The Practical Stochastic Model is a simple and robust method to describe coupled chemical reactions. The connection between this stochastic method and a deterministic method was initially established to understand how the parameters and variables that ...

Is it possible for a first-order method, i.e., only first derivatives allowed, to be quadratically convergent? For univariate loss functions, the answer is yes -- the Steffensen method avoids second derivatives and is still quadratically convergent like Newton method.

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration
Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

Stein's Method and Stochastic Orderings [PDF]
A stochastic ordering approach is applied with Stein's method for approximation by the equilibrium distribution of a birth-death process. The usual stochastic order and the more generals-convex orders are discussed. Attention is focused on Poisson and translated Poisson approximations of a sum of dependent Bernoulli random variables, for example,k-runs

A decomposition-based warm-start method for stochastic programming [PDF]
In this paper we propose a warm-start technique for interior point methods applicable to multi-stage stochastic linear programming problems. The main idea is to generate an initial point by decomposing the problem at the second stage and using an ...

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research
The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an
