This article presents the theoretical analysis of Inverse Generalized Exponential Models. The shapes of the properties of the Inverse Generalized Exponential distribution are discussed. Inverse moments of Inverse Generalized Exponential distribution are derived. In this article we have presented the relationship between shape parameter and other properties such probability distribution, distrib...

there are enormous quantities of unknown composition of hazardous wastes in tehran without any control, safe disposal and treatment. this study was done to identify hazardous wastes and to control this wastes by establishing a treatment, storage and disposal facility. according to available statistics there are 4461 different industries in tehran, out of which sample were chosen each having ove...

Methodology for the meta-analysis of individual patient data with survival end-points is proposed. Motivated by questions about the reliance on hazard ratios as summary measures of treatment effects, a parametric approach is considered and percentile ratios are introduced as an alternative to hazard ratios. The generalized log-gamma model, which includes many common time-to-event distributions ...

natural hazards are among destructive agents that annually take thousands of lives and impose devastating damages in iran. spotting such a high risk areas can help reducing the amount of their probable risk. a 1:500000 liquefaction and landslide hazard zonation map developed for the southern shoreline of the caspian sea. this geotechnical hazard map divides the study area to 15 hazard classes (...

The joint modelling of longitudinal and survival data is a highly active area of biostatistical research. The submodel for the longitudinal biomarker usually takes the form of a linear mixed effects model. We describe a flexible parametric approach for the survival submodel that models the log baseline cumulative hazard using restricted cubic splines. This approach overcomes limitations of stan...

OBJECTIVES Determining the relationship between antiretroviral adherence and resistance accumulation is important for the design and evaluation of adherence interventions. Our objective was to explain heterogeneity observed in this relationship. METHODS We first conducted a systematic review to locate published reports describing the relationship between adherence and resistance. We then used...

In this paper we present a novel crowd simulation method by modeling the generation and contagion of panic emotion under multi-hazard circumstances. Specifically, we first classify hazards into different types (transient and persistent, concurrent and non-concurrent, static and dynamic ) based on their inherent characteristics. Then, we introduce the concept of perilous field for each hazard an...

For testing treatment effect with time to event data, combinations of several tests are often desired when the hazard functions of the two groups are nonproportional. Yang and Prentice [2005. Semiparametric analysis of short term and long term hazard ratios with two sample survival data. Biometrika 92, 1–17.] defined a new two-sample semiparametric model that accommodates nonproportional hazard...
