In many jurisdictions, organ allocation is done on the basis of the health status of the patient, either explicitly or implicitly. This paper presents a self-promoting priority queueing model for patient waiting times which ...
Sensor Choice for Minimum Error Variance Estimation

Zhang, Minxin; Morris, Kirsten (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2017-06-12)

A Kalman filter is optimal in that the variance of the error is minimized by the estimator. It is shown here, in an infinite-dimensional context, that the solution to an operator Riccati equation minimizes the steady-state ...
