More On Recurrence and Waiting
Let X = fX n : n = 1; 2; : : :g be a discrete valued stationary ergodic process distributed according to probability P. Let Z n 1 = fZ 1 ; Z 2 ; : : :; Z n g be an independent realization of an n-block drawn with the same probability as X. We consider the waiting time W n deened as the rst time the n-block Z n 1 appears in X. There are many recent results concerning this waiting time that demon...
متن کاملAsymptotic Recurrence and Waiting times for Stationary Processes
Let X = fX n ; n 2 Zg be a discrete-valued stationary ergodic process distributed according to P and let x = of the recurrence time R n deened as the rst time that the initial n-block x n 1 = (x 1 ; x 2 ; : : : ; x n) reappears in the past of x. We identify an associated random walk, ? log P (X n 1); on the same probability space as X, and we prove a strong approximation theorem between log R n...
متن کاملAdvanced access: more than just GP waiting times?
BACKGROUND Advanced access has been forwarded as a strategy for reducing waiting times in primary care; however, previous evaluations have raised important issues regarding its appropriateness. OBJECTIVES The objectives of this paper are to assess the impact of advanced access on patient access to primary care services, and its broader effects on stakeholders. METHODS A quantitative analysi...
متن کاملFactors influencing waiting times and consultation times in general practice.
Using data collected from 85 general practitioners in Lothian, large variations were found in the time patients wait for and spend with their doctor. This study, which sets consultations into their administrative framework, examines factors which cause this variation. Consultation time was found to be affected by the total number of patients attending a particular surgery, while waiting time wa...
متن کاملPredicting joint replacement waiting times.
Currently, the median waiting time for total hip and knee replacement in Ontario is greater than 6 months. Waiting longer than 6 months is not recommended and may result in lower post-operative benefits. We developed a simulation model to estimate the proportion of patients who would receive surgery within the recommended waiting time for surgery over a 10-year period considering a wide range o...
