Continued fraction enhancement of Bayesian computing

Abstract

Soft tissue reactions to materials in joint prostheses include discoloration, fibrosis, florid histiocytic reaction, and granulomatous inflammation with foreign body giant cell reaction. Clinical manifestations include pain and swelling. We report a case of temporomandibular joint Proplast-Teflon prosthesis, followed by the development of large cell lymphoma in the left parotid gland 10 years after joint replacement. While it is unclear whether the implant directly contributed to the development of lymphoma, this association has not been previously documented, prompting this report.

Bayesian Generalized Additive Model Selection Including a Fast Variational Option

“…Stable computation of ζ (x) when x is a large negative number is not straightforward. Azzalini (2021) and Wand & Ormerod (2012), for example, provide practical solutions to this problem. Lastly, an expression of the form ζ (v), where v is a column vector, is such that function evaluation is element-wise.…”
