Role of IL-6 in the regulation of neuronal development, survival and function.
The pleiotropic cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6) is emerging as a molecule with both beneficial and destructive potentials. It can exert opposing actions triggering either neuron survival after injury or causing neurodegeneration and cell death in ...

In the present work, we study the combined m-consecutive-k-out-of-n: F and kc-out-of-n: F reliability systems, which consist of independent and identically distributed components.

KAPLAN-MEIER AND NELSON-AALEN ESTIMATORS FOR CREDIT SCORING
Financial institutions use credit scoring analysis to predict the probability that a customer will default. In this paper, we determine the probability of default using nonparametric survival analysis that are Kaplan-Meier and Nelson-Aalen.

Reliability of an engineering system characterized by hot and cold standby: A compound boundary value problem [PDF]
We analyse the reliability (survival function) of a duplex system characterized by hot standby and sustained by an auxiliary unit in cold standby. The entire system is attended by two heterogeneous repairmen.

On the Generalized Odd Transmuted Two-Sided Class of Distributions
In this paper, a general class of two-sided lifetime distributions is introduced via odd ratio function, the well-known concept in survival analysis and reliability engineering.

How long can austerity persist? The factors that sustain fiscal consolidations
To put public debt on a sustainable path, many governments face the task of enacting large fiscal consolidation followed by years of sustained primary surpluses.

We present the truncated Lindley-G (TLG) model, a novel class of probability distributions with an additional shape parameter, by composing a unit distribution called the truncated Lindley distribution with a parent distribution function G(x).

Prediction of long term stability by extrapolation [PDF]
This paper studies the possibility of using the survival function to predict long term stability by extrapolation. The survival function is a function of the initial coordinates and is the number of turns a particle will survive for a given set of ...

Improved Dynamic Predictions from Joint Models of Longitudinal and Survival Data with Time-Varying Effects using P-splines [PDF]
In the field of cardio-thoracic surgery, valve function is monitored over time after surgery. The motivation for our research comes from a study which includes patients who received a human tissue valve in the aortic position. These patients are followed
