Reliability of an engineering system characterized by hot and cold standby: A compound boundary value problem [PDF]

open access: yesYugoslav Journal of Operations Research, 2021
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.

Analysis of survival data with cross-effects of survival functions [PDF]

open access: yesBiostatistics, 2004
We present a model and semiparametric estimation procedures for analysis of survival data with cross-effects (CE) of survival functions. Finite sample properties of the estimators are analyzed by simulation. A goodness-of-fit test for the proportional hazards model against the CE model is proposed. The well known data concerning effects of chemotherapy

How long can austerity persist? The factors that sustain fiscal consolidations

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Government and Economics, 2013
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.

On the Generalized Odd Transmuted Two-Sided Class of Distributions

open access: yesStatistica, 2021
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.

A New Truncated Lindley-Generated Family of Distributions: Properties, Regression Analysis, and Applications

open access: yesEntropy, 2023
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).

Comparison of nonparametric estimates of the survival functions

open access: yesВестник Самарского университета: Естественнонаучная серия, 2023
The article compares three types of estimates: exponential, multiplying and power structures for the survival function of three random censoring observations on the right. It was previously established that all these three estimates are equivalent with a

A New Lifetime Distribution with Decreasing and Upside-Down Bathtub-Shaped Hazard Rate Function

open access: yesStatistica, 2020
We introduce a new lifetime distribution, called the alpha-power transformed Lomax (APTL) distribution which generalizes the Lomax distribution to provide better fits than the Lomax distribution and some of its known generalizations.

GAPDH in neuroblastoma: Functions in metabolism and survival

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2022
Neuroblastoma is a pediatric cancer of neural crest cells. It develops most frequently in nerve cells around the adrenal gland, although other locations are possible. Neuroblastomas rely on glycolysis as a source of energy and metabolites, and the enzymes that catalyze glycolysis are potential therapeutic targets for neuroblastoma.

The rich get richer and the poor get poorer - the Matthew mechanism as an approach to explain selection effects and the occurrence of multiple medalists in the "production" of international success in alpine ski racing

open access: yesCurrent Issues in Sport Science, 2018
The study addresses two questions that are under debate in the literature and exemplifies their examination in alpine ski racing. Firstly, are successful athletes the product of a long-term continuous intervention and/or socialization process or do they ...
