A New Model AnswersRamalingam ShanmugamDuring a treatment period of a cancer patient, the medical team ponders over a question: Is patient’s cancer recurrence significantly postponed by the medication, even if the illness is not completely cured? This question could be answered with data evidence if the data are analyzed with an appropriate model and a suitable methodology. A scanning of the literature reveals that … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 26 Mar 2013 · 6,887 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsClinical Evidence of Autologous Graft versus Tumor EffectLuis F. PorrataProblem statement: The infused alloreactive lymphocytes in allogeneic stem cell transplantation (Allo-SCT) lead to an unspecific immune response causing Graft-Versus-Tumor (GVT) effect and Graft-Versus-Host Disease (GVHD). The current dogma regarding the anti-tumor effect of GVT is only observed in the Allo-SCT and not in the autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT). Approach: This article reviewed the medical literature to show … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 7,506 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsFedCarepod: Federated Quantum Transfer Learning Approach in Screening Process for Early Detection of Liver AbnormalitiesK MalaThe liver is the most frequently injured intra-abdominal organ that leads to complications. Visual interpretation depends on the expertise, and this justifies the need for automatic accelerated assistive prediction system. Classical and Quantum machine learning approaches are combined to leverage their benefits, and the feasibility of designing a novel system is explored. This approach successfully ends up with health care … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 21, Issue 10 · 16 Dec 2025 · 2,068 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSome Cubic Transmuted Exponentiated Pareto-1 DistributionHussein EledumIn this study, we introduce two new generalized versions of the Exponentiated Pareto-I distribution called (CTEP-I-G) and (CTEP-I-R). Statistical properties of the two distributions such as reliability function, hazard function, moments and moment generating function are studied. Models parameters are estimated by the maximum likelihood method. Finally, an application of CTEP-I-G and CTEP-I-R distributions to two real datasets and compared … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 14 Jul 2020 · 6,062 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEstimation and Reliability for a Special Type of Semi-Markov ProcessVlad Stefan Barbu, Alex Karagrigoriou, Andreas MakridesThis work deals with multi-state systems modelled by means of semi-Markov processes. The sojourn times are seen to be independent not identically distributed random variables and assumed to belong to one of two different general classes of distributions so that the first class is closed under maxima and the second one is closed under minima. We obtain maximum likelihood estimators … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 20 Oct 2019 · 7,047 accessesView PDFCite
