It is well known that using individual covariate information (such as body weight or gender) to model heterogeneity in capture–recapture (CR) experiments can greatly enhance inferences on the size of a closed population. Since individual covariates are only observable for captured individuals, complex conditional likelihood methods are usually required and these do not constitute a standard gen...

This note describes generalized expectation (GE) criteria, a framework for incorporating preferences about model expectations into parameter estimation objective functions. We discuss relations to other methods, various learning paradigms it supports, and applications that can leverage its flexibility.

The research in this paper was motivated by one of the most important open problems in the theory of generalized polygons, namely the existence problem for semi-finite thick generalized polygons. We show here that no semi-finite generalized hexagon of order (2, t) can have a subhexagon H of order 2. Such a subhexagon is necessarily isomorphic to the split Cayley generalized hexagon H(2) or its ...

In this paper, new finite numbers of conditions which are equivalent to the so-called generalized invariant subspaces whoes definitions have infinitely many conditions are studied.

– It is shown that if u is a solution of the initial value problem for the generalized Korteweg–de Vries equation such that there exists b ∈ R with suppu(·, tj ) ⊆ (b,∞) (or (−∞, b)), for j = 1,2 (t1 = t2), then u≡ 0.  2002 Éditions scientifiques et médicales Elsevier SAS AMS classification: Primary 35Q53; secondary 35G25; 35D99

background & aim: in the survival data with long-term survivors the event has not occurred for all the patients despite long-term follow-up, so the survival time for a certain percent is censored at the  end  of the  study.  mixture  cure  model  was  introduced  by boag,  1949  for  reaching  a  more efficient analysis of this set of data. because of some disadvantages of this model non-mixtur...
