The paper discusses the problem of sensitivity analysis in Gaussian Bayesian networks. The algebraic structure of the conditional means and variances, as rational functions involving linear and quadratic functions of the parameters, are used to simplify the sensitivity analysis. In particular the probabilities of conditional variables exceeding given values and related probabilities are analyze...

In this paper, it is shown that by exploiting the explicit parametric state feedback solution, it is feasible to obtain the ultimate solution to minimum sensitivity problem. A numerical algorithm for construction of a robust state feedback in eigenvalue assignment problem for a controllable linear system is presented. By using a generalized parametric vector companion form, the problem of eigen...

This paper presents an accurate and efficient full-wave method, combined with iterative adjoint technique, for analyzing sensitivities of planar microwave circuits with respect to design parameters. Method of moments (MoM) in spatial domain is utilized, and generalized conjugate residual iterative scheme is applied to solve the linear matrix equations with fast convergence. Green’s functions fo...

Introduction: It is estimated that 100 - 300 million people in the world are infected with Strongyloides stercoralis. Although there are several laboratory diagnostic methods for detection of this parasite, there is still no gold standard diagnostic method. The need for an application test with high sensitivity and specificity is highly felt, especially in people with immune deficiency or organ...

one of the important issues in data envelopment analysis (dea) is sensitivity analysis. heretofore the existent studies have considered the data modification of inputs and outputs in one or multiple dmus. in this paper the number of dmus is increased and a stability region is obtained in  by applying defining hyperplanes in which if the added dmu (only one dmu) is in this region then all of the...

Beta-thalassemia is one of the most common autosomal recessive disorders in the world population resulting from over 200 different mutations of HBB gene. Beta-thalassemias are caused by point mutations or, more rarely, deletions in the HBB gene leading to reduced (beta+) or absent (beta0) synthesis of the beta chains of hemoglobin (Hb). High-resolution melting of polymerase chain reaction (PCR)...
