The Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) has relied primarily on the Health Employer Data Information Set (HEDIS®), the Consumer Assessment of Health Plans Study (CAHPS®), and the Medicare Health Outcomes Survey (HOS) to track health plan performance. However, many relationships among these measures are unknown. We found significant relationships between four HEDIS® measures and many ite...

Notations. Let λ be the base measure over ∆n given by the uniform random variable (say U ) over ∆n. Hence, for all measurable A ⊆ ∆n, λ(A) = P(U ∈ A). Also, η : X→∆n is the mapping that gives the conditional probability vector η(x) = [P(Y = 1 |X = x), . . . ,P(Y = n |X = x)]> ∈ ∆n for a given instance x ∈ X . Let ν be the probability measure over the simplex induced by the random variable η(X);...

The rerouting of connections for handover in a broadband mobile cellular network is investigated. We address networks with a connection-oriented backbone, which supports quality-of-service (QoS). Moreover it is assumed an IP-style multicast on top of the connection-oriented network. We advocate to utilize the IP-style multicast in order to reroute connections for handover. Three rerouting schem...

In this paper, we strengthen the competitive analysis results obtained for a fundamental online streaming problem, the Frequent Items Problem. Additionally, we contribute with a more detailed analysis of this problem, using alternative performance measures, supplementing the insight gained from competitive analysis. The results also contribute to the general study of performance measures for on...
