β¦ Synopsis
Acute radiation injury and postirradiation recovery have been formalized in terms of a Blarkovian homogeneous process of the rimdom walk with a finite set of states, two absorbing barriers and continuous time. The distribution of time for such a process to reach (for the first time) the upper absorbing barrier was earlier obtained by SAATY (1961) and within the proposed model it coincides with the life span distribution for irradiated animals. The possibilities of finding the maximum likelihood estimates of unknown parameters are investigated by means of simulating experiments performed with a computer assistance. On the basis of simulation results the applicability of the proposed distribution for the purposes of survival data analysis is discussed. Extension of the model to eccomodate two (or more) radiation syndromes is presented.

## Abstract In this paper, we associate an applicability domain (AD) of QSAR/QSPR models with the area in the input (descriptor) space in which the density of training data points exceeds a certain threshold. It could be proved that the predictive performance of the models (built on the training se
## Abstract This paper presents a new approach to functional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI) data analysis. The main difference lies in the view of what comprises an observation. Here we treat the data from one scanning session (comprising __t__ volumes, say) as one observation. This is contrary
Analysis of stochastic processes governed by the Langevin equation is discussed. The analysis is based on a general method for non-parametric estimation of deterministic and random terms of the Langevin equation directly from given data. Separate estimation of the terms corresponds to decomposition
