Benchmarks for stochastic models from building automation systems

Abstract

Benchmarks Proposal: We provide benchmarks for stochastic models drawn from Build- ing Automation Systems (BAS), specifically constructed from expertise developed on a real BAS setup. This contribution branches out of the library of general models presented in [4], specifically focussing on probabilistic models. Using this library, we generate two realistic case studies which incorporate (i) stochasticity stemming from different sources (e.g. pro- cess or observation noise on the continuous variables) and (ii) various input and output signals. We describe each model structure (syntax and semantics), identify key problems (specifications) for different analysis goals, and finally illustrate solutions for each goal.

Assessment of Overpayment for Topical Dermatological Drugs—Clawbacks

“…Elevating out-of-pocket expenditures for patients will hinder the opportunity to provide affordable quality care to patients. In recent months state and federal policies have been enacted to ban gag clauses on pharmacists and in commercial insurance contracts . Gag clauses prevented pharmacists from proactively informing patients if it is more cost-effective to purchase their prescription out-of-pocket.…”
