Probability of worthwhile effect of monotone-response treatments
Benjamin Côté, Ruodu Wang
Experiments may, by design, prevent one from observing on a single subject both the response to a treatment and to its absence. Because of this, marginal distributions for both cas…
Risk-insurance parity
Benjamin Côté, Ruodu Wang, Qinyu Wu
Risk aversion and insurance are two prominent and interconnected concepts in economics and finance. To explore their fundamental connection, we introduce risk-insurance parity, whi…
Tree-structured Ising models under mean parameterization
Benjamin Côté, Hélène Cossette, Etienne Marceau
In the risk modeling literature, the Ising model has emerged as a valuable framework for dependent Bernoulli random variables, as its underlying graphical structure captures comple…
On convex order and supermodular order without finite mean
Benjamin Côté, Ruodu Wang
Many results on the convex order in the literature were stated for random variables with finite mean. For instance, a fundamental result in dependence modeling is that the sum of a…
On a risk model with tree-structured Poisson Markov random field frequency, with application to rainfall events
Hélène Cossette, Benjamin Côté, Alexandre Dubeau +1
In many insurance contexts, dependence between risks of a portfolio may arise from their frequencies. We investigate a dependent risk model in which we assume the vector of count v…
Centrality and shape-related comparisons in a tree-structured Markov random field
Benjamin Côté, Hélène Cossette, Etienne Marceau
Understanding the effects of the choice of the tree on the joint distribution of a tree-structured Markov random field (MRF) is crucial for fully exploiting the intelligibility of…
Field output correction factors using a fully characterized plastic scintillation detector
Luc Gingras, Yunuen Cervantes Espinosa, Frederic Beaulieu +8
As small radiation fields play an ever-increasing role in radiation therapy, accurate dosimetry of these fields becomes critical to ensure high quality dose calculation and treatme…
Tree-structured Markov random fields with Poisson marginal distributions
Benjamin Côté, Hélène Cossette, Etienne Marceau
A new family of tree-structured Markov random fields for a vector of discrete counting random variables is introduced. According to the characteristics of the family, the marginal…
A complex euclidean reflection group with an elegant complement complex
Ben Coté, Jon McCammond
The complement of a hyperplane arrangement in deformation retracts onto an -dimensional cell complex, but the known procedures only apply to complexifications of…
