Prediction of a random field based on observations of the random field at some set of locations
arises in mining, hydrology, atmospheric sciences, and geography. Kriging, a prediction …

Expression of the macrophage mannose receptor is inhibited by interferon gamma (IFN-gamma),
a T helper type 1 (Th-1)-derived lymphokine. Interleukin 4 (IL-4), a Th-2 lymphocyte …

This article is concerned with predicting for Gaussian random fields in a way that appropriately
deals with uncertainty in the covariance function. To this end, we analyze the best linear …

This work considers a number of properties of space–time covariance functions and how
these relate to the spatial-temporal interactions of the process. First, it examines how the …

Latin hypercube sampling (McKay, Conover, and Beckman 1979) is a method of sampling
that can be used to produce input values for estimation of expectations of functions of output …

In this research, we examine the empirical relation between client characteristics and the
nature and mix of labor resources used by an international CPA firm to obtain a desired level of …

A study investigates the relationship between audit pricing and litigation risk. The main
question posed in the research is: Are audit fees adequate to compensate auditors for litigation …

Background Patients with severe rheumatoid arthritis who are treated with methotrexate
frequently have only partial improvement. Methods In a six-month randomized, double-blind trial…

Likelihood methods are often difficult to use with large, irregularly sited spatial data sets,
owing to the computational burden. Even for Gaussian models, exact calculations of the …

< jats: p> Practical Aspects of CO2 Flooding serves as a logical guide to the practicing
engineer focused on the “how to” and “why” of miscible and immiscible CO2 flooding. The book …
