Celebrating 50 years

5 0 years ago, what would soon evolve to become the profession of respiratory therapy emerged as the Canadian Society of Inhalation Therapy Technicians. One year following the inception of the Society, Canadian Inhalation Therapy published its first issue. From the outset of the profession, research, evaluation and knowledge translation have been fundamental to advancing our understanding of re...

We establish a connection between epidemic models on random networks with general infection times considered in Barbour and Reinert (2013) and first passage percolation. Using techniques developed inBhamidi, van derHofstad andHooghiemstra (2012), when each vertex has infinite contagious periods, we extend results on the epidemic curve in Barbour and Reinert (2013) from bounded degree graphs to ...

We introduce a new class of Monte Carlo methods, which we call exact estimation algorithms. Such algorithms provide unbiased estimators for equilibrium expectations associated with real-valued functionals defined on a Markov chain. We provide easily implemented algorithms for the class of positive Harris recurrent Markov chains, and for chains that are contracting on average. We further argue t...

In this paper we work in the framework of a k-dimensional vector of log-linear risks. Under weak conditions on the marginal tails and the dependence structure of a vector of positive risks, we derive the asymptotic tail behaviour of the aggregated risk and present an application concerning log-normal risks with stochastic volatility.
