Modelling maintenance for components under competing risk
In this paper we investigate the mathematical modelling of imperfect maintenance of a system under competing risk The model we propose is strongly motivated by Brown Proschan s imperfect repair model but extended to model preventive maintenance as one of several competing risks Parameter estimation in the model is based on Markov Chain Monte Carlo simulation The method is tested using a real li...
متن کاملEvaluating the Prognostic Value of New Cardiovascular Biomarkers
New predictors of cardiovascular outcomes are widely sought in research settings, and predictive tests are commonly recommended for routine use in cardiovascular clinical care. A number of multivariable scoring systems are in use around the world for assessment of a patient's risk. While such scoring systems are often recommended for clinical use in medical practice guidelines, their actual use...
متن کاملCSF biomarkers for improved prognostic accuracy in acute CNS disease.
Providing an accurate prognosis in patients suffering from acute central nervous system (CNS) disease is difficult. The extent and location of the primary CNS injury is crucial for mortality and morbidity. Secondary injury adds considerably to the CNS insult. The prognosis in an individual patient depends on the combination of primary and secondary CNS damage together with systemic complication...
متن کاملEvaluating biomarkers to model cancer risk post cosmic ray exposure
Robust predictive models are essential to manage the risk of radiation-induced carcinogenesis. Chronic exposure to cosmic rays in the context of the complex deep space environment may place astronauts at high cancer risk. To estimate this risk, it is critical to understand how radiation-induced cellular stress impacts cell fate decisions and how this in turn alters the risk of carcinogenesis. E...
متن کاملEvaluation of the prognostic value of CD117 and CK20 biomarkers in urinary bladder carcinoma
Background: Over-expression of CD117 and cytokeratin 20 (CK20) is seen in many malignancies. Given that few studies have been conducted regarding the role of these biomarkers in the etiology of bladder tumours, this study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of CD117 and CK 20 biomarkers in the benign and malignant tumours of urinary bladder carcinoma. Methods: This case-control study was co...
