This paper investigates the decay rate of the Hankel singular values of linear dynamical systems. This issue is of considerable interest in model reduction by means of balanced truncation, for instance, since the sum of the neglected singular values provides an upper bound for an appropriate norm of
Examples are presented to illustrate some of the effects aberrant values, in particular, measurement errors, may have on estimates of the genetic parameters related to selection studies. It is shown that aberrant values may cause observed response to selection pressure to differ considerably from pr
## Sumnm.ry Formulated in terms of latent failure times a survival model with two dependent competing risks is considered. Using this model, it is possible to introduce the probabilistic characteristics of each type of failure contribution to the joint effect of two damaging agents. Confidence bou
