Abstract Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) represent a group of bone marrow disorders involving cytopenias, hypercellular bone marrow, and dysplastic hematopoietic progenitors. MDS remains a challenge to treat due to the complex interplay between disease‐induced and treatment‐related cytopenias.

ABSTRACT Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a progressive metabolic disorder that could be an underlying cause of long‐term complications that increase mortality. The assessment of the probability of such events could be essential for mortality risk management. This work aimed to establish a framework for risk predictions of macrovascular complications (MVC) and

Retrospective image analysis for long‐term demography using Google Earth imagery
We demonstrate that high‐resolution Google Earth imagery, combined with minimal field validation, enables retrospective tracking of individual invasive plants. The image shows one of the monitored individuals of Opuntia sp. in Greece. Our approach reveals long‐term demographic patterns, recruitment dynamics, and spatial expansion without continuous ...

Calibrating affine stochastic mortality models using term assurance premiums
In this paper, we focus on the calibration of affine stochastic mortality models using term assurance premiums. We view term assurance contracts as a "swap" in which policyholders exchange cash flows (premiums vs. benefits) with an insurer analogous to a

A comparison of ten principal component methods for forecasting mortality rates [PDF]
Using the age- and sex-specific data of 14 developed countries, we compare the short- to medium-term accuracy of ten principal component methods for forecasting mortality rates and life expectancy. These ten methods include the Lee-Carter method and many

ABSTRACT In 2015, the United Nations (UN) adopted the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), calling for urgent action to end poverty, reduce inequality, and secure a sustainable future. Within this global agenda, the commitment of the Organization for Economic Co‐operation and Development (OECD) is particularly significant given its institutional ...

Discrete-Time Stochastic Volatility Models and MCMC-Based Statistical Inference [PDF]
In this paper, we review the most common specifications of discrete-time stochas- tic volatility (SV) models and illustrate the major principles of corresponding Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) based statistical inference.
