Journal Article
Bhatnagar, V., Majhi, R., & Sahadev, S. (2020). Predicting numbers of successful new products to launch using soft computing techniques : a case of firms from manufacturing sector industries. Journal of King Saud University (Computer and Information Sciences), 32(2), 254-265. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jksuci.2017.08.006

Predicting numbers of new products to be launched by the firms in a particular time period is considered as the most mystified and strategically important decision. Importance of this aspect could be realized by looking at the low success rate of new...

A new fast method is presented for computation of the p... Read More about Event count distributions from renewal processes : fast computation of probabilities.

Meta-analysis of tumour burden in pre-operative axillary ultrasound positive and negative breast cancer patients (2017)
Journal Article
Ahmed, M., Jozsa, F., Baker, R., Rubio, I., Benson, J., & Douek, M. (2017). Meta-analysis of tumour burden in pre-operative axillary ultrasound positive and negative breast cancer patients. Breast Cancer Research and Treatment, 166(2), 329-336. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10549-017-4405-3
