We introduce a new three-parameter lifetime model called the Lindley Weibull distribution, which accommodates unimodal and bathtub, and a broad variety of monotone failure rates. We provide a ...

The difficulty of comprehending words in context is related to their predictability, but what cognitive processes do these predictability effects reflect? In one view, predictability effects reflect ...

Predictive microbiology models explain bacterial number variations over time and how growth/inactivation rates are affected by environmental conditions (Lammerding and Fazil, 2000). In the development ...

The diversity of living organisms is a fundamental feature of biology, yet still challenging to understand. Genomic data reveal that many closely related strains of bacteria can coexist for far longer ...

In recent years, variable selection based on penalty likelihood methods has aroused great concern. Based on the Gibbs sampling algorithm of asymmetric Laplace distribution, this paper considers the ...

A paper posted online last month has reignited a debate about one of the oldest, most startling claims in the modern era of network science: the proposition that most complex networks in the real ...
