Does a given vector-matrix pair correspond to a PH distribution?
The analysis of practical queueing problems benefits if realistic distributions can be used as parameters. Phase type (PH) distributions can approximate many distributions arising in practice, but their practical applicability has always been limited when they are described by a non-Markovian vector-matrix pair. In this case it is hard to check whether the non-Markovian vector-matrix pair defin...
متن کاملWhat does a modified-Fibonacci dose-escalation actually correspond to?
BACKGROUND In most phase I oncology trials, it is often stated that the dose increments follow a "modified-Fibonacci sequence". This term, however, is vague. METHODS To better characterize this sequence, we reviewed 81 phase I trials based on this concept. RESULTS Out of 198 phase I oncology trials, 81 (41%) are based on modified-Fibonacci series. Actual incremental ratios varied in a large...
متن کاملThe internalization time course of a given lipopolysaccharide chemotype does not correspond to its activation kinetics in monocytes.
The prerequisites for the initiation of pathophysiological effects of endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide [LPS]) include binding to and possibly internalization by target cells. Monocytes/macrophages are prominent target cells which are activated by LPS to release various pro- and anti-inflammatory mediators. The aim of the present study was to establish a new method to determine the binding and inte...
متن کاملGenerating random networks from a given distribution
Several variations are given for an algorithm that generates random networks approximately respecting the probabilities given by any likelihood function, such as from a p social network model. A novel use of the genetic algorithm is incorporated in these methods, which improves its applicability to the degenerate distributions that can arise with p models. Our approach includes a convenient way...
متن کاملWhen Does a Pair Outperform Two Individuals?
This paper reports experimental measurements of productivity and quality in pair programming. The work complements Laurie Williams’ work on collaborative programming, in which Pair Programming and Solo Programming student groups wrote the same programs and then their activities were measured to investigate productivity, quality, etc. In this paper, Pair and Solo industrial programmer groups are...
