Laminar flow heat transfer in circular tube with internal solidification of a binary mixture of paraffin is investigated numerically. The problem of the solidification process is formulated using the enthalpy–porosity based method. The influence of various parameters such as: wall temperature,...

Multiple testing analysis and clustering methodologies are usually applied in microarray data analysis. A combination of both methods to deal with multiple comparisons among groups obtained from microarray expressions of genes is proposed. Assuming normal data, a statistic which depends on...

In this article we use Bayesian methods to fit a Weibull mixture model with an unknown number of components to possibly right censored survival data. This is done using the recently developed, birth-death MCMC algorithm. We also show how to estimate the survivor function and the expected hazard...

It is usually considered that the proportion of handicapped people grows with age. Namely, the older the man/woman, the more the level of disability he/she suffers. However, empirical evidence shows that this assessment is not always true, or at least, it is not true in the Spanish population....

Two conditions are shown under which elliptical distributions are scale mixtures of normal distributions with respect to probability distributions. The issue of finding the mixing distribution function is also considered. As a unified theoretical framework, it is also shown that any scale...

This paper shows a generalization of the linear dynamic model, which is practical and easy to compute. The generalization is made by assuming a continuous elliptical joint distribution for the parameters and errors. Updated distribution and probabilistic characteristics of the current and future...
