Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of disk diffusion and Etest methods, compared that broth dilution reference method for identifying beta-lactam susceptibilities Penicillin-Resistant, Ampicillin-Susceptible Enterococcus faecalis (PRASEF) isolates. Fifty-nine PRASEF 15 Penicillin-Susceptible, E. (PSASEF) clinical nonrepetitive isolates were evaluated. The effectiveness five beta-lactams (ampicillin, amoxicillin, imipenem, penicillin, piperacillin) was tested. All...
The length-biased Birnbaum-Saunders distribution is both useful and practical for environmental sciences. In this paper, we initially derive some new properties the distribution, showing that one of its parameters mode it bimodal. We then introduce a regression model based on distribution. implement maximum likelihood method parameter estimation, approach interval estimation consider three types residuals. An elaborate Monte Carlo study carried out evaluating performance likelihood-based...
Stochastic production frontier models are widely used in microeconometrics and, the last decades, have been proven to be versatile their range of applications. However, there few studies concerning endogeneity stochastic models. Here we present two with endogenous variables based on main distributions for technical inefficiency. We also derive analytic gradient vectors obtain best performance at a reasonable computational time cost. The methodology presented here is one and two-step maximum...
