    algorithm such that we can calculate the stationary probabilities with a desired error tolerance---current methods do not provide bounds on the stationary probabilities. Essay 3: We propose a tool to accurately predict the number of heart attack patients in sufficiently small geographical areas of Alberta

    handle new emergency calls. We propose a simple recursion to calculate the expected duration of ambulance shortage periods and validate our recursion with data from Calgary, Canada, EMS. We develop analytical results for the second and higher moments, distribution, and Laplace transform of the shortage

    probability mass in the truncated upper tail is guaranteed to be smaller than a pre-specified value. This method can potentially substitute the currently-used heuristics that are exploited within algorithms that truncate the system first and then calculate its performance measures. (2) we extend an existing

I also test whether a temporary increase in information-based trading shifts the distribution of trades toward smaller transactions. I classify stocks according to their probability of information-based trading (PIN) values during
