Cumulative Distribution Networks: Inference, Estimation and Applications of Graphical Models for Cumulative Distribution Functions
… models for directly representing the joint cumulative distribution function (CDF) of many random variables, called cumulative distribution networks (CDNs). Unlike graphical models for probability density and mass functions, in a CDN, the marginal probabilities for any subset of variables are …

Patent abandonment and subsequent cumulative inventions
… patent abandonment strategy can facilitate cumulative inventions by external inventors, as well as subsequent cumulative inventions by the focal firm to enable value creation and value capture. To keep a patent in force in the United States, a firm must pay maintenance fees at three …

Cumulative sum quality control charts design and applications
Classical Statistical Process Control Charts are essential in Statistical Control exercises and thus constantly obtained attention for quality improvements. However, the establishment of control charts requires large-sample data (say, no less than I 000 data points). On the other hand, we notice …

Cumulative Sum Control Charts for Censored Reliability Data
… of the data. We propose likelihood ratio based cumulative sum (CUSUM) control charts for censored lifetime data with non-normal distributions. We illustrate the development and implementation of the charts, and we evaluate their properties through simulation studies. We address the problem of …

Control chart procedures based on cumulative gauging scores
Control charts based on cumulative gauging scores rely on gauge scoring systems used for transforming actual observations into integer gauging scores. In some cases, the gauging scores are easy to obtain by using a mechanical device such as in the go-no-go inspection process. Thus, accurate …

Scheduling Imprecise Hard Real-Time Jobs With Cumulative Error
… by an unfinished optional subtask has a cumulative effect on the results generated by the later tasks of the same periodic job. For each job of this type, there is a maximum threshold of cumulated error. When the cumulated error of the results produced in a number of periods exceeds the …

Cumulative effects in quantum algorithms and quantum process tomography
This thesis comprises three results on quantum algorithms and quantum process tomography. In the first section, I create a tool that uses properties of the quantum general adversary bound to upper bound the query complexity of Boolean functions. Using this tool I prove the existence of O(1)-query …

Confidence Interval Estimation of Cumulative Incidence for Clustered Competing Risks
… occurring. Traditional methods of estimating the cumulative incidence for an outcome and its associated confidence interval under competing risks do not account for the effect of clustering. This may cause incorrect estimation of confidence intervals because outcomes among patients from the same …

Sparse group sufficient dimension reduction and covariance cumulative slicing estimation
… Zhu et al. (2010) proposed a method called the cumulative slicing estimation (CUME) which avoids the otherwise subjective selection of h. In this dissertation, we revisit CUME from a different perspective to gain more insights, and then refine its performance by incorporating the intra-slice …

Preference modelling approaches based on cumulative functions using simulation with applications
… approach is in reformulating MVM to be based on cumulative functions using simulation. Two models under this approach are introduced: the first deals with ranking preferences for pairs of lotteries/options with non-negative outcomes only while the second, which is for risk modelling, is a …
