My paper of 2020:
An Explanatory Bi-Variate Model for Surgery-Duration and Its Empirical Validation ,
which outlines a novel approach to modeling and forecasting surgery-duration, has now become Free Access (namely, open for all to read).
The paper has become cornerstone for a series of related papers that followed.
If you feel qualified (in terms of basic knowledge of Statistics),
Read and enjoy!!
The third of three papers on modeling, monitoring and control of surgery times has just been published. Links to all three papers are given below.
Most recent paper, published on line Dec. 13, 2021, introduces a new methodology to estimate operating-room utilization-rate for differently distributed surgery-times: http://10.1080/00207543.2021.2009141
Second paper, published on line December 03, 2020, introduces a new methodology to monitor surgery duration, using Statistical Process Control (SPC): https://doi.org/10.1002/qre.2813.
First paper, published on line, May 07, 2020, develops a new statistical model for surgery time: https://doi.org/10.1080/23737484.2020.1740066.
Below you may find a link to a new entry in Wikipedia, written by me sometime ago (now accepted to be published):

My new paper, published on line 03 December 2020. The paper introduces a new methodology to monitor surgery duration, using Statistical Process Control (SPC). It may be found at: https://doi.org/10.1002/qre.2813.
This is the second in a series of three papers addressing surgery duration. The first paper, published on line 07 May 2020:
It may be found at: https://doi.org/10.1080/23737484.2020.1740066.
A third paper, addressing estimation of operating-room utilization-rate for differently-distributed surgery times, is under review.
