On maxima and ladder processes for a dense class of Lévy processes

On a fluctuation identity for random walks and Lévy processes

We extend and unify some identities in law involving ladder processes for random walks and Lévy processes.

Some results on extremal and maximal processes associated with a Lévy process

Extremes of Lévy Driven Mixed MA Processes with Convolution Equivalent Distributions

We investigate the extremal behavior of stationary mixed MA processes Y (t) = ∫ R+×R f(r, t− s) dΛ(r, s) for t ≥ 0, where f is a deterministic function with f(r, 0) = f+ and |f(r, s)| < f+ for s 6= 0 and r ∈ R+. The random measure Λ is infinitely divisible and independently scattered, whose finite dimensional distributions, represented by L(1) = Λ(R+ × [0, 1]), are in the class of convolution e...

Moving Towards Accountability for Reasonableness – A Systematic Exploration of the Features of Legitimate Healthcare Coverage Decision-Making Processes Using Rare Diseases and Regenerative Therapies as a Case Study

Background The accountability for reasonableness (A4R) framework defines 4 conditions for legitimate healthcare coverage decision processes: Relevance, Publicity, Appeals, and Enforcement. The aim of this study was to reflect on how the diverse features of decision-making processes can be aligned with A4R conditions to guide decisio...

Use of Evidence-Informed Deliberative Processes – Learning by Doing; Comment on “Use of Evidence-informed Deliberative Processes by Health Technology Assessment Agencies Around the Globe”

The article by Oortwijn, Jansen, and Baltussen (OJB) is much more important than it appears because, in the absence of any good general theory of “evidence-informed deliberative processes” (EDP) and limited evidence of how they might be shaped and work in institutionalising health technology assessment (HTA), the best approach seems to be to accumulate the experience of...
