Abstract: Exponential degradation modeling and its variants have been widely used to describe component or device degradation characteristics, such as exponential bearing degradation, and their ...

PROC VARIOGRAM computes the sample, or experimental semivariogram. Prediction of the spatial process at unsampled locations by techniques such as ordinary kriging requires a theoretical semivariogram ...

We have proposed a new generalized Weibull-exponential frailty model which is a general case of classical frailty model suggested by [1] and [2]. In classical frailty model, modeling of hazard rate is ...

Purpose: To present a new modified tri-exponential model for diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) to detect the strictly diffusion-limited compartment, and to compare it with the conventional bi- and ...

Whether people tend to punish criminals in a socially-optimal manner (i.e., hyperbolic punishment) or not is unknown. By adopting mathematical models of probabilistic punishment behavior (i.e., ...

Over the last year or so, we've been discussing digital futures and the ways they might affect business and life in the next decade. We've touched on some specific ways these technologies are already ...
