Monte Carlo simulation-based estimation for the minimum mortality temperature in temperature-mortality association study
BACKGROUND Rich literature has reported that there exists a nonlinear association between temperature and mortality. One important feature in the temperature-mortality association is the minimum mortality temperature (MMT). The commonly used approach for estimating the MMT is to determine the MMT as the temperature at which mortality is minimized in the estimated temperature-mortality associati...
متن کاملSimulation of Temperature Distribution in a Continuous Tunnel Reheat Furnace Using the Monte Carlo Method
A mathematical model of a continuous reheating furnace has been developed to identify the design and operating parameters that significantly affect furnace performance. In this study, the furnace is modeled 3 dimensionally and theMonte Carlomethod is used to find the overall absorption factor. The overall absorption factor is then used to calculate the energy balance for furnace walls, the gas,...
متن کاملBrief Report: Investigating Uncertainty in the Minimum Mortality Temperature
BACKGROUND The minimum mortality temperature from J- or U-shaped curves varies across cities with different climates. This variation conveys information on adaptation, but ability to characterize is limited by the absence of a method to describe uncertainty in estimated minimum mortality temperatures. METHODS We propose an approximate parametric bootstrap estimator of confidence interval (CI)...
متن کاملMonte-Carlo Approximation of Temperature
Monte-Carlo tree search is a powerful paradigm for the game of Go. We propose to use Monte-Carlo tree search to approximate the temperature of a game, using the mean result of the playouts. Experimental results on the sum of five 7x7 Go games show that it improves much on a global search algorithm.
متن کاملEvolution of Minimum Mortality Temperature in Stockholm, Sweden, 1901–2009
BACKGROUND The mortality impacts of hot and cold temperatures have been thoroughly documented, with most locations reporting a U-shaped relationship with a minimum mortality temperature (MMT) at which mortality is lowest. How MMT may have evolved over previous decades as the global mean surface temperature has increased has not been thoroughly explored. OBJECTIVE We used observations of daily...
