Spatial Modelling of Emergency Service Response Times
This article concerns the statistical modelling of emergency service response times. We apply advanced methods from spatial survival analysis to deliver inference for data collected by the London Fire Brigade on response times to reported dwelling fires. Existing approaches to the analysis of these data have been mainly descriptive; we describe and demonstrate the advantages of a more sophistic...
متن کاملModelling and using response times in MOOCs
DRAFT, UPDATED—August 22, 2017. Each time a learner in a self-paced online course is trying to answer an assessment question, it takes some time to submit the answer, and if multiple attempts are allowed and the first answer was incorrect, it takes some time to submit the second attempt, and so on. Here we study the distribution of such “response times”. We find that the log-normal statistical ...
متن کاملInventory Is People: How Load Affects Service Times in Emergency Response
In many service systems, the most important inventory in the system is people. Most queueing models assume that people and objects are interchangeable. While most people recognize the significant difference, the academic literature on how that difference manifests itself is still young. We analyze a large data set of emergency medical service (EMS) responses in the city of Calgary to explore an...
متن کاملSpatial modelling of railway noise propagation
In recent decades, population growth and progress of technology have shaped large and compact urban settlements. Existence of huge transportation systems and developed urban infrastructures are among the most important properties of modern cities. In spite of prompt transit and facilitated daily activities, development of transportation systems causes many problems, including traffic, air and n...
متن کاملDo emergency medical system response times matter for health outcomes?
The introduction of technology aimed at reducing the response times of emergency medical services has been one of the principal innovations in crisis care over the last several decades. These substantial investments have typically been justified by an assumed link between shorter response times and improved health outcomes. However, current medical research does not generally show a relationshi...
