Non-parametric Survival Techniques with Improved Weight
Abstract: Generally, in most of the studies all the subjects could not attain the event of interest within the time period, which results in censoring, also sometimes leads to the situation of heavy censoring. In the case of heavy censoring, the conventional Kaplan-Meier estimator overestimates the survival function. To overcome this, a new weight is designed by accounting the length of the survival time and censoring rate for each time interval …

A Resource Efficient Fast Recovery Strategy for Survivable WDM Networks
Abstract: ABSTRACT In WDM networks when failure occurs, huge amount of data is lost in a fraction of second. Therefore, the failed connection request must be re-routed through backup route as soon as possible. For achieving fast connection recovery, the primary lightpath is either link or segmented protected. However, the strategies result in inefficient utilization of resources. In this paper, we present a resource efficient parallel signaling-shared path protection (PS-SPP) based …
