In this paper, we describe an algorithm for the personalized nurse scheduling problem. We focus on the deterministic counterpart of the specific problem t...

In Positron Emission Tomography (PET), deep crystals (>20 mm) must be used to enhance detection efficiency and increase overall scanner sensitivity. Howeve...

Positron emission tomography (PET) image reconstruction in the presence of periodic motion, such as heartbeat and breathing, has been actively investigated ...

In recent years, a growing interest has been observed in research on RNA (ribonucleic acid), primarily due to the discovery of the role of RNA molecules in ...

The log-rank test is commonly used as the split function in many commonly used survival trees and forests algorithms. However, the log-rank test may have a...

In prior works, this group demonstrated the feasibility of valid adaptive sequential designs for crossover bioequivalence studies. In this paper, we extend t...

The empirical Receiver Operating Characteritic (ROC) curve can be used to evaluate the properties of a diagnostic test from the distribution of a variable on...

While there has been a surge of articles on convergence diagnostic tools for MCMC on continuous stationary distributions and ordinal state spaces, Bayesian c...

This paper presents a non--technical account of the developments in tree--based methods for the analysis of survival data with censoring. This review desc...

Large datasets upon which classical statistical analysis cannot be performed because of the curse of dimensionality are more and more common in many research...

Flexibility in workforce planning is one of the best ways to respond to fluctuations of the demand. This paper proposes a flexible mixed integer linear pro...

Tree-based methods are frequently used in studies with censored survival time. Their structure and ease of interpretability make them useful to identify p...

We consider the problem of assigning patients to nurses for home care services. The aim is to balance the workload of the nurses while avoiding long travels...

We develop a test of equality between two dependence structures estimated through empirical copulas. We provide inference for independent or paired samples....

We analyze a territorial approach to deliver nursing home care services to a territory public health. We present the case of the CSSS assigned to Côte-des-N...

This article traces the evolution of ambulance location and relocation models proposed over the past thirty years. The models are classified in two main ca...

A fuzzy clustering problem consists in assigning a set of patterns to a given number of clusters with respect to some criteria such that each of them may be...

Preapheresis quantification of circulating CD34+ cells (CD34) may be used to predict peripheral blood progenitor cell (PBPC) yield in subsequent leukapheres...

Ce papier présente une nouvelle procédure de classification, appelée PROCFTN, basée sur le domaine de l'aide multicritère à la décision. Le principe général...

The aim of this paper is to provide a concise portrayal of medical applications of a new fuzzy classification method called PROAFTN, which uses a multicrite...
