## Abstract Risk assessments of toxic chemicals currently rely heavily on the use of no‐observed‐effect concentrations (NOECs). Due to several crucial flaws in this concept, however, discussion of replacing NOECs with statistically estimated low‐effect concentrations continues. This paper describes

## Abstract The Cox regression model is one of the most widely used models to incorporate covariates. The frequently used partial likelihood estimator of the regression parameter has to be computed iteratively. In this paper we propose a noniterative estimator for the regression parameter and show
## Abstract Sediment rating curves are commonly used to estimate the suspended sediment load in rivers and streams under the assumption of a constant relation between discharge (__Q__) and suspended sediment concentrations (SSC) over time. However, temporal variation in the sediment supply of a wat
