Quantum Error Correction (QEC) is an important technique for protecting quantum information against decoherence and errors. This involves the design implementation of algorithms techniques to minimize error rates increase stability circuits. One key parameters in QEC distance error- correcting code, which determines number errors that can be corrected. Another parameter probability, quantifies ...

This paper develops a bias correction scheme for reparametrized inverse gamma regression models with varying precision [Bourguignon M, Gallardo DI. Reparametrized precision. Stat Neerl. 2020;74(4):611–627], which is tailored to situations where the response variable has an asymmetrical shape on positive real line. In particular, we discuss maximum-likelihood estimation model parameters and deri...

PURPOSE The Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) is a standardized motor assessment for young infants. This study aimed to examine the reliability of the AIMS in a group of infants born at or before 29 weeks of gestation. METHODS Fifty-nine infants born preterm were recruited. Two experienced pediatric physical therapists participated in this reliability study. Infants were assessed at 4, 8, 12,...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to obtain Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ) scores from the background population so that these may be used as a reference group to extremely preterm children at nine and 18 months of corrected age. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 298 children were randomly chosen among the Danish population in three different groups: 9-, 18- and 21 month-old children....

OBJECTIVE Although ~50% of very preterm (VP) children have neurodevelopmental impairments, early prediction of infants who will experience problems later in life remains a challenge. This study evaluated the predictive value of general movements (GM; spontaneous and endogenous movements) at 1 and 3 months' corrected age for neurodevelopment at 2 and 4 years of age in VP children. METHODS At 1...

OBJECTIVE This review summarizes the literature to date concerning age adjustment in developmental assessment and illustrates relevant issues for clinicians and researchers in this area. METHODS Pubmed, Medline, Premedline, and PsycInfo databases were used to search the following terms: assessment, prematurity, age adjustment, and adjusted age. Additional sources were obtained through the ref...

New estimators based on the likelihood depth for the examples of 2-dimensional, one-parametric Gumbel-Copula (and 2-dimensional Gauss-distribution) and in a second step for the Weibulldistribution are presented. The copula model has a variety of applications because it models dependence structures, e.g. in finance, in the analysis of credit risks. Copulas can also be used in the simulation of t...
