This paper is devoted to present and study a specific continuoustimepiecewise-deterministic Markov process for describing the temporal evolution ofexposure to a given food contaminant. The quantity X of food contaminant presentin the body evolves through its accumulation after repeated dietary...

This paper introduces an original methodology based on empirical likelihood which aims at combiningdifferent contamination and consumptions surveys in order to provide risk managers witha risk measure taking account of all the available information. This risk index is defined as theprobability...

This paper introduces a speci…c Bootstrap method for positiverecurrent Markov chains, based on the regenerative method and the Nummelinsplitting technique. The main idea underlying this construction consists in generatinga sequence of approximate pseudo-renewal times for a Harris chain X...
