The generalized gamma (GG) distribution is a widely used, flexible tool for parametric survival analysis. Many alternatives and extensions to this family have been proposed. This paper characterizes the flexibility of the GG by the quartile ratio relationship, log(Q2/ Q1)/log(Q3/Q2), and compares the GG on this basis with two other three-parameter distributions and four parent distributions of ...

In this paper, a Bayesian approach is proposed to estimate ood quan-tiles while taking the statistical uncertainties into account. Predictive excee-dence probabilities of annual maximum discharges are obtained using the three-parameter generalised gamma distribution. The parameters of this distribution are assumed to be random quantities rather than deterministic quantities and to have a prior ...

The recently introduced deflected mirage mediation (DMM) model is a string-motivated paradigm in which all three of the major supersymmetry-breaking transmission mechanisms are operative. We begin a systematic exploration of the parameter space of this rich model context, paying special attention to the pattern of gaugino masses which arise. In this work we focus on the dark matter phenomenolog...

The Gamma modeling technique is a finite SRGM-based modeling technique. Prior work uses this technique to fit a SRGM based on the Gamma function using software process metrics that measure development defects and then uses the fitted model to make predictions. The cost of use of this technique is lower than typical. Overview Inputs • The occurrence time of each development defect or the defect ...

Abstract Moderate spatial confinement enhances the heat transfer in turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard (RB) convection (Chong K. L. et al. , Phys. Rev. Lett ., 115 (2015) 264503). Here, by performing direct numerical simulations, we answer question how shape of RB cell affects this enhancement. We compare three different geometries: a box with rectangular base ( i.e. stronger confined one horizontal dir...

Delayed effects for pharmacodynamic responses can be observed for many signal transduction processes. Three approaches are summarized in this report to describe such effects caused by cascading steps: stochastic process model, gamma distribution function, and transit compartment model. The gamma distribution function, a probability density function of the waiting time for the final step in a st...

We investigate the timelike geodesics and periapsis precession of orbits in Fisher-Janis-Newman-Winicour-Wyman spacetime. This spacetime represents naked singularity Einstein-massless scalar system. revisit results previous studies relax assumptions about eccentricity a bound orbit size semilatus. find that negative occurs when sufficiently deviates from Schwarzschild In particular, for small e...
