Quantile functions and distribution functions are mathematically equivalent ways to define a probability distribution. However, quantile functions have several advantages over distribution functions. First, many data sets with non-elementary distribution functions can be modeled by quantile functions with simple forms. Second, most quantile functions approximate many of the standard models in reliability analysis quite well. Consequently, if physical conditions do not suggest a plausible model, an arbitrary quantile function will be a good first approximation. Finally, the inference procedures for quantile models need less information and are more robust to outliers.   Quantile-Based Reliability Analysis’s innovative methodology is laid out in a well-organized sequence of topics, including:   ·       Definitions and properties of reliability concepts in terms of quantile functions; ·       Ageing concepts and their interrelationships; ·       Total time on test transforms; ·       L-moments of residual life; ·       Score and tail exponent functions and relevant applications; ·       Modeling problems and stochastic orders connecting quantile-based reliability functions.   An ideal text for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in reliability and statistics, Quantile-Based Reliability Analysis also contains many unique topics for study and research in survival analysis, engineering, economics, and the medical sciences. In addition, its illuminating discussion of the general theory of quantile functions is germane to many contexts involving statistical analysis.  .Statistics for Industry and Technology,2364-625XStatisticsProbabilitiesStatisticsBiometryMathematical modelsStatistical Theory and MethodsProbability TheoryStatistics in Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, Chemistry and Earth SciencesStatistics in Business, Management, Economics, Finance, InsuranceBiostatisticsMathematical Modeling and Industrial MathematicsStatistics.Probabilities.Statistics.Biometry.Mathematical models.Statistical Theory and Methods.Probability Theory.Statistics in Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, Chemistry and Earth Sciences.Statistics in Business, Management, Economics, Finance, Insurance.Biostatistics.Mathematical Modeling and Industrial Mathematics.519.287Nair N.

It is nowadays generally accepted that nanostructured noble metals allow the production of highly competitive materials. In fact, a specific design and rather simple and reliable preparation techniques can be used to obtain optimized material uses and possibilities for their reusability. One expects amazing future developments for these nanotechnologies from research laboratories to key industrial areas. The Guest Editor and the MDPI staff are therefore pleased to offer this Special Issue to interested readers, including researchers, graduate and PhD students as well as postdoctoral researchers, but also to the entire community interested in the wide world of nanomaterials.Technology: general issuesbicsscanticancer compoundsantimicrobial efficiencybiofunctional performancesbiological interactionsbiomedical applicationsbiomoleculesbiotechnological applicationscapillary forceconjugatescopper(I) complexesdip-coatingdrug deliveryecosafetyEDTA tetrasodium saltexosomegoldgold nanomaterialsgold nanoparticlesheavy metal sensingHg2+ sensorshybrid metal-polymer nanoparticlesinteractionsintrinsic anti-inflammatory activityliposomeslocalized surface plasmon resonancenanocarriersnanomaterialsnanomaterials for drug deliverynanomaterials for sensingnanomedicinenanoparticlesnanostructureniosomesnoble metal nanoparticlesoptical sensorsphotothermal therapyplasmonic materialsplasmonic sensorsprotein coronasilver nanomaterialssilver nanoparticlesTechnology: general issuesVenditti Ioleedt1319279Venditti IoleothBOOK9910557641003321Nanostructured Materials based on Noble Metals for Advanced Biological Applications3036806UNINA
