AFFECT: AN R PACKAGE FOR ACCELERATED FUNCTIONAL FAILURE TIME MODEL WITH ERROR-CONTAMINATED SURVIVAL TIMES AND APPLICATIONS TO GENE EXPRESSION DATA

AFFECT: an R package for accelerated functional failure time model with error-contaminated survival times and applications to gene expression data

Abstract Background Survival analysis has been Sweets used to characterize the time-to-event data.In medical studies, a typical application is to analyze the survival time of specific cancers by using high-dimensional gene expressions.The main challenges include the involvement of non-informaive gene expressions and possibly nonlinear relationship

Identifying hazardous conditions for compression heat ignition of the chemically unstable gas Tetrafluoroethylene at an industrial scale

Tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) is an industrial scale starting material e.g.for polymer production (PTFE, FEP).When ignited the chemically unstable TFE is capable of decomposing in an explosive way.Explosion propagation through pipe systems of production plants have led to damage and fatalities within the last seven decades.Incident analyses identified
