This report provides a comprehensive assessment of the effects of environmental tobacco smoke (secondhand smoke) as of mid-2005 produced by the California Air Resources Board and Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment as part of the process of identifying ETS as a toxic air...

The majority of de novo structural chromosome aberrations in fetuses and newborns are considered being of cells of mammals for DNA damage during gametogenesis. 4617 chromosomal studies performed during 19 years (from 1992 to 2011), at Hospital Para El Niño Poblano in México, a total of 1596...

This paper aims to replicate the semiparametric Value-At-Risk model by Dias (2014) and to test its legitimacy. The study confirms the superiority of semiparametric estimation over classical methods such as mixture normal and Student-t approximations in estimating tail distribution of portfolios,...

We investigate a shot noise process with subexponential shot marks occurring at renewal epochs. Our main result is a precise asymptotic formula for its tail probability. In doing so, some recent results regarding sums of randomly weighted subexponential random variables play a crucial role.

In this paper, we derive a closed-form expression of the tail probability of the aggregate discounted claims under homogeneous, non-homogeneous and mixed Poisson risk models with constant force of interest by using a general dependence structure between the inter-occurrence time and the claim...
