  • A procedure for the test of independence of the observations and the null distribution are studied for a waiting-time distribution of the number of Bernoulli trials required to obtain a preassigned number of successes under Markov dependence. Selected critical values for the test statistic are tabulated.

  • A generalized fractional diffusion equation (FDE) is presented, which describes the time-evolution of the spatial distribution of a particle performing continuous time random walk (CTRW) on a fractal lattice. For a case corresponding to the CTRW with waiting time distribution that behaves as $\psi(t) \sim (t) ^{-(\alpha+1)}$, the FDE is solved to give analytic expressions for the Green’s function and the mean squared displacement (MSD). In agreement with the previous work of Blumen et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 1984, 53, 1301], the time-dependence of MSD is found to be given as < $r^2(t)$ > ~ $t ^{2\alpha/dw}$, where $d_w$ is the walk dimension of the given fractal. A Monte-Carlo simulation is also performed to evaluate the range of applicability of the proposed FDE.

  • There are two computation techniques in real time systems : precise and imprecise computation. The imprecise computation technique is a means to provide scheduling flexibility in real time systems. The studies on imprecise scheduling using queueing theoretical formulation up to data are to explicitly quantify the costs and benifits in trade-off between the average result quality and the average waiting time of tasks. This paper uses two imprecise scheduling schemes and solves the imprecision probability, the probability of any task being imprecise under two imprecise scheduling schemes and analyzes the dependence of the imprecision probability on several parameters os the monotone imprecise system.

  • In order to maximize the efficiency and the quality of care in a hospital, hospitals in general operate by appointments. Patient no-shows or missed appointments waste the time of staffs who prepare for appointments, deprive patients of needed care, and increase burden on clinic capacity. The purpose of this study is to examine the importance and significance of factors that affect patient no-shows. The actual data of 50,000 outpatient appointments is compiled and analyzed from a VAMC in the United States with aims to identify the factors that contribute to outpatient no-shows and to draw meaningful implications. Random forest along with logistic regression analysis identify the factors affecting no-shows; appointment leadtime, show-up rate, travel distance, no-show rate in previous period, patient age, severity, complexity of disease, chronic pain, depression, drug dependence. The appointment leadtime, show-up rate, travel distance and previous no-show rate can be improved by enhancing SMS pre-notification and by improving afterwards telephone counseling. For other factors, it needs to study on the service differentiation with the characteristics of each patient group.
