We aim to establish the probability of freedom from infection for a population of semi-domestic reindeer, using risk-based sampling (i.e., in this context deliberately obtaining more samples from groups where individuals have a higher probability of being infected) and weighted surveillance (i.e....
Thus, a risk management program should be intertwined with organizational strategy. To link them, risk management leaders must first define the organization'srisk appetite-- i.e., the amount of risk it is willing to accept to realize its business objectives. Some risks will fit within the risk...
the TP can be calculated using existing SSL or using new developed benchmarks based on either NOEC or EC50 values or site-specific benchmarks can be compared to soil concentrations individually. The approach entirely depends on the strategy taken by the stakeholder group and the availability of ...
A goodness of fit test for multiplicative-intercept risk models based on case-control data Qin and Zhang (1997) considered a goodness-of-fit test for the logistic regression model under a case-control sampling plan on the basis of a Kolmogorov-Sm... B Zhang - 《Statistica Sinica》 被引量...
To focus on the effect of tactical asset management decisions, this study is based on a single flood risk strategy to pursue compliance with standards by dike reinforcements. We consecutively present the theoretical background of planning flood risk systems, the development of a risk-based method ...
A prediction model for obesity was developed based on ten factors related to children (gender, eating habits, activity, and previous body mass index) and their mothers (education level, self-esteem, and body mass index). These factors were selected based on the least absolute shrinkage and ...
This targeting strategy was based on two assumptions, that: (i) risk was localized, and (ii) the highest prevalence areas were the areas of greatest risk. However, we have found that these two assumptions did not hold in Namibia; a substantial proportion (40%) of the risk was not ...
The proposed model can be solved by a simulation-based optimization algorithm that contains three major steps: characterization of the LIE solution set, random sampling over the solution set, and a two-phase simulation optimization step. Numerical results illustrate that the proposed risk-neutral ...
We chose this sampling period for several reasons. First, the East German economy underwent substantial reforms in the early years after reunification as it transformed from a socialist economy to a market based economy. To forestall competition from the East, West German labor unions negotiated for...
A stratified management strategy was advocated for pulmonary nodules based on their risk profiles. Drawing on current guidelines and the expertise of professional physicians, annual surveillance is recommended for low-risk nodules1. Mid- and high-risk nodules warrant more frequent monitoring, with follow...
