ABSTRACT: We study a non-mixture cure model with a covariate change-point for right-censored survival data and develop maximum-likelihood estimation under a smoothed likelihood to handle the ...

Abstract: Territorial Differential Meta-Evolution (TDME) is an efficient, versatile, and reliable algorithm for seeking all the global or desirable local optima of a multivariable function. It employs ...

From electronic health records and blood tests to the stream of data from wearable devices, the amount of health information people generate is accelerating rapidly. Yet, many users struggle to ...

Function secret sharing (FSS) is a secret sharing technique for functions in a specific function class, mainly including distributed point function (DPF) and distributed comparison function (DCF). As ...

ABSTRACT: We consider shape and topological optimization problems for thermoelasticity. A model of thermoelasticity problem is first proposed before presenting the models for which a mathematical ...

It is shown that a continuous function which Riemann is said to have believed to be nowhere differentiable is in fact differentiable at certain points. Note: The article usage is presented with a ...

Learn to choose coordinate systems, visualize multivariable functions, and parameterize curves. You can use these live scripts as demonstrations in lectures, class activities, or interactive ...
