Stochastically ordered multiple regression [PDF]
In various application areas, prior information is available about the direction of the effects of multiple predictors on the conditional response distribution. For example, in epidemiology studies of potentially adverse exposures and continuous health responses, one can typically assume a priori that increasing the level of an exposure does not lead ...

On a Special Weighted Version of the Odd Weibull-Generated Class of Distributions
In recent advances in distribution theory, the Weibull distribution has often been used to generate new classes of univariate continuous distributions. They find many applications in important disciplines such as medicine, biology, engineering, economics,

Flow coupling and stochastic ordering of throughputs in linear networks [PDF]
Robust estimates for the performance of complicated queueing networks can be obtained by showing that the number of jobs in the network is stochastically comparable to a simpler, analytically tractable reference network.

Tracer diffusion and ‘chemical’ (atomic) ordering processes in two face-centred cubic (f.c.c.) binary systems mimicking Ni3Al and FePt were simulated by means of the kinetic mean-field (KMF) method originally proposed by G. Martin in 1990.

A study of phase separation processes in presence of dislocations in binary systems subjected to irradiation [PDF]
Dislocation-assisted phase separation processes in binary systems subjected to irradiation effect are studied analytically and numerically. Irradiation is described by athermal atomic mixing in the form of ballistic flux with spatially correlated ...

Distorted stochastic dominance: A generalized family of stochastic orders [PDF]
We study a generalized family of stochastic orders, semiparametrized by a distortion function H, namely H-distorted stochastic dominance, which may determine a continuum of dominance relations from the first- to the second-order stochastic dominance (and beyond).

An inventory management problem is theoretically discussed for a factory having effects of lead times in replenishing the inventory, where it stocks materials used for its products.

A Model for Risk Adjustment (IFRS 17) for Surrender Risk in Life Insurance
We propose a model for risk adjustment, in the context of IFRS 17, for surrender risk. Surrender rates are assumed to follow a stochastic process, underpinned by data.

A Comparison of MLE for Some Index Distributions Based on Censored Samples
This paper elucidates the prerequisites for maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) of parameters within the exponential and scale parameter families. Estimation of these parameters is predicated on data derived from censored samples and seeks to adhere to ...
