When analysing and presenting results ofrandomised clinical trials, trialists rarely report if or how underlying statisticalassumptions were validated. To avoid data-driven biased trial results, it should ...
This paper addresses interactive one-machine sequencing situations in which the costs of processing a job are given by an exponential function of its completion time. The main difference with the standard ...
In this paper we consider a two-echelon supply chain with one supplier that controls a limited resource and a finite set of manufacturers who need to purchase this resource. We analyze the effect of the ...
Multivariate response data often arise in practice and they are frequently subject to missingness. Under this circumstance, the standard sufficient dimension reduction (SDR) methods cannot be used directly. ...
Game theory provides valuable tools to examine expert multi-agent systems. In a cooperative game, collaboration among agents leads to better outcomes. The most important solution for such games is the ...
In this paper, we analyze bankruptcy problems with nontransferable utility (NTU) from a game theoretical perspective by redefining corresponding NTU-bankruptcy games in a tailor-made way. It is shown that ...
In order to ensure the validity of results of randomised clinical trials and under some circumstances to optimise statistical power, most statistical methods require validation of underlying statistical ...
Multistate models can be successfully used for describing complex event history data, for example, describing stages in the disease progression of a patient. The so‐called “illness‐death” model plays a ...
Background
The value of carotid intervention is predicated on long-term survival for patients to derive a stroke prevention benefit. Randomized trials report no significant difference in survival after ...
In practice, count data exhibit over-dispersion, zero-inflation and even heavy tails. The Poisson–Tweedie distribution is a flexible parametric family able to accommodate these features. This paper proposes ...
The aim of this study was to identify the differences between seasons in men´s water polo regular competition by analysing the changes of game-related statistics. The sample comprised 88 games from the ...

Accurate diagnosis of disease is of fundamental importance in clinical practice and medical research. Before a medical diagnostic test is routinely used in practice, its ability to distinguish between ...
In this paper we introduce a procedure based on sampling to estimate the Owen value of a cooperative game. It is an adaptation of an analogous procedure for the estimation of the Shapley value, and it ...
Inventory management of goods is an integral part of logistics systems; common to various economic sectors such as industry, agriculture and trade; and independent of production volume. In general, as ...
Prior to using a diagnostic test in a routine clinical setting, the rigorous evaluation of its diagnostic accuracy is essential. The receiver-operating characteristic curve is the measure of accuracy most ...
The NPMLE of a distribution function from doubly truncated data was introduced in the seminal paper of Efron and Petrosian. The consistency of the Efron-Petrosian estimator depends however on the assumption ...
An important aim of the analysis of agricultural field experiments is to obtain good predictions for genotypic performance, by correcting for spatial effects. In practice these corrections turn out to ...
When developing prediction models for application in clinical practice, health practitioners usually categorise clinical variables that are continuous in nature. Although categorisation is not regarded ...
This paper analyzes the 1-nucleolus and, in particular, its relation to the nucleolus. It is seen that, contrary to the nucleolus, the 1-nucleolus can be computed in polynomial time due to a characterization ...
Introduction and aims: Peritoneal infection (PI) is very frecuent and negatively impacts on survival of peritoneal dialysis technique. Currently, the gold standard for the diagnosis of ""typical"" bacterial ...
The airport problem is a classic cost allocation problem that has been widely studied. Several rules have been proposed to divide the total cost among the agents, attending to the characteristics of the ...
In a cooperative game with transferable utility, it is usually assumed that all coalitions are equally feasible. However, if we deal with cooperative games with coalition configuration, only some coalitions ...
Before the use of a diagnostic test in a routine clinical setting, the rigorous evaluation of its diagnostic accuracy is an essential step. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve is the measure ...
Two-sided asymptotic confidence intervals for an unknown proportion p have been the subject of a great deal of literature. Surprisingly, there are very few papers devoted, like this article, to the case ...
An approach to define a rule for an airport problem is to associate to each problem a cooperative game, an airport game, and using game theory to come out with a solution. In this paper, we study the rule ...
This paper discusses games where cooperation is restricted by a hierarchical structure. The model assumes that there is a hierarchy between certain coalitions given by a partition. Face games (González-Díaz ...
Markov three-state progressive and illness–death models are often used in biomedicine for describing survival data when an intermediate event of interest may be observed during the follow-up. However, ...
One of the main goals of this paper is to improve the understanding of the way in which the core of a specific cooperative game, the airport game (Littlechild and Owen, Manag Sci 20:370–372, 1973), responds ...
This paper extends the notion of individual minimal rights for a transferable utility game (TU-game) to coalitional minimal rights using minimal balanced families of a specific type, thus defining a corresponding ...
The developments over a thirty-year time span in the study of power, especially voting power, are traced in this book, which provides an up-to-date overview of applications of n-person game theory to the ...

game (TU-game) to coalitional minimal rights using minimal balanced families of a specific type, thus defining a corresponding ...
Times between consecutive events are often of interest in medical studies. Usually the events represent different states of the disease process and are modeled using multi-state models. This paper introduces ...
This paper introduces a new class of games, highway games, which arise from situations where there is a common resource that agents will jointly use. That resource is an ordered set of several indivisible ...
In this paper we establish a relationship between the core cover of a compromise admissible game and the core of a particular bankruptcy game: the core cover of a compromise admissible game is, indeed, ...
Supply chain management is related to the coordination of materials, products and information flows among suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, retailers and customers involved in producing and delivering ...
The objective of this paper is to provide a general view of the literature of applications of transferable utility cooperative games to cost allocation problems. This literature is so large that we concentrate ...
In this paper, the R package DTDA for analyzing truncated data is described. This package contains tools for performing three different but related algorithms to compute the nonparametric maximum likelihood ...
In a proportionate flow shop problem several jobs have to be processed through a fixed sequence of machines and the processing time of each job is equal on all machines. By identifying jobs with agents ...
