The Beta Gompertz Geometric distribution: Mathematical Properties and Applications
In this paper, a new five-parameter so-called Beta-Gompertz Geometric (BGG) distribution is introduced that can have a decreasing, increasing, and bathtub-shaped failure rate function depending on its parameters. Some mathematical properties of the this distribution, such as the density and hazard rate functions, moments, moment generating function, R and Shannon entropy, Bon...
متن کاملMathematical Diversity and Elegance in Proofs: Who will be the next Renaissance man?
It has been claimed by some mathematicians that Bernhard Riemann was the last great ”Renaissance man” of mathematics, in that he was quite knowledgeable of–and, indeed, proved major theorems in–several seemingly disjoint branches of the subject. One could argue for other notable exceptions from the 20th century–perhaps John von Neumann, Bertrand Russell, even Douglas Hofstadter–but the fact rem...
متن کاملDiversity partitioning without statistical independence of alpha and beta.
Diversity partitioning has become a popular method for analyzing patterns of alpha and beta diversity. A recent evaluation of the method emphasized a distinction between additive and multiplicative partitioning and further advocated the use of multiplicative partitioning based on a presumed independence between alpha and beta. Concurrently, additive partitioning was criticized for producing dep...
متن کاملAlpha-fetoprotein-L3: Useful or Useless for Hepatocellular Carcinoma?
Japan is the only country where alpha-fetoprotein (AFP)-L3 can be measured in the routine clinical setting. Since AFP-L3 examination has been covered by health insurance in Japan for over 10 years, it is now routinely measured during general medical checkups for patients with chronic liver disease. To increase the specificity of AFP, the AFP-L3 glycoform can be used as a measure of cancerous ch...
متن کاملAssessment of the Specific Activity of Alpha- and Beta-emitting Radionuclides in Groundwater, Anka, Nigeria
Introduction: After the lead poisoning outbreak came to light in Zamfara State, Nigeria, people living near gold mines were worried about environmental safety, especially drinking water quality. This study examined the gross alpha and gross beta activity concentrations in groundwater in different locations of Anka, Zamfara State, Nigeria, to measure the possible radiation dose and potential hea...
