We consider here a probability model which associates the usual gamma form with a confluent hypergeometric series. The probability model is termed as confluent gamma density. Some distributional properties of this model are derived. A graphical representation of the model for the varying values...

By means of factorial moments (FM), the fractal structures embedded in gait time series are investigated. Intermittency is found in records for healthy objects. And this kind of intermittency is much sensitive to disease or outside influences. It is found that FM is an effective tool to deal...
